Warm amber, sunflower gold, dusty lavender, and the deep blue of a sky that never quite becomes night — the golden hour extended to infinity.
Midsummer night has its own palette, distinct from ordinary summer. The sun barely sets at all in the far north, and the light it leaves is extraordinary — warm amber and old gold that stretches for hours past when the sun should have gone, the dusty lavender of a sky that hovered between day and night for so long it became something else entirely. This is the palette of the threshold: between day and night, between waking and dreaming, between this world and the one that Scandinavian tradition says is closer on this night than any other. The colours are warm and cool at once, never quite committing to either.
