  • Bright Blue: The use of blue adds depth and tranquility, representing harmony and spirituality.
  • Bold Yellow and Green: Yellow offers a sense of joy and optimism, while green signifies growth and renewal, creating a lively contrast to the earth tones.
  • Black and Cream: These colors serve as grounding elements within the design, adding definition to the motifs and enhancing overall clarity.
