Energy Generation
Dark amberGoldenrodCopper
Dark amber, goldenrod, and copper — District 5's palette glows like filament, hums like high-voltage wire. These are the colors of electricity itself: warm but dangerous, constant but invisible until the moment of contact. The dark amber suggests the amber glow of power flowing through a dam. The copper represents the conductivity that makes everything run. District 5 doesn't demand attention — it simply keeps the lights on.
