Textile Manufacturing
Dusty roseMauveSoft linen
Dusty rose, mauve, and soft linen — District 8's palette is textile colors at their most human. These are the colors of fabric touching skin, of clothing that protects and expresses. The dusty rose suggests care and detail; the mauve hints at hidden depth; the linen white is the blank canvas before the weaver begins. District 8's colors are soft but not weak — like the rebellion that was stitched together thread by thread from inside the factories.
