Full solar yellow, warm amber, sky blue at noon, and the vivid green of midsummer — the palette of maximum light.
The summer solstice is the opposite of the winter — the longest day, the shortest night, the moment when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. It has been celebrated across cultures for millennia: Stonehenge at sunrise, the bonfires of the Celtic Litha, the Scandinavian Midsommar, the ancient Egyptian alignment of temples. The palette is the palette of full solar noon: the intense, almost white yellow of the sun at its highest, the warm amber of the light in the afternoon, the deep sky blue of a cloudless day, the vivid green of vegetation at its most lush. It is the most confident palette in the calendar — no shadows, no hesitation, colour at its full amplitude.
