Couleur 2

Neutrality & Mediation

Couleur 2 is visual silence par excellence — medium and muted, it never takes sides and lets other colors express themselves while maintaining systemic coherence.

Couleur 3

Serenity & Lightness

Couleur 3 is a light, quiet cyan positioned midway between blue's analytical rigor and green's vitality. More airy, it reduces cognitive friction and eases exploration. The shade of interfaces that guide without imposing.

Warmth & Benevolence
