A first palette built from the brief alone: clean greens, a lot of white, a safe gradient. The design critic flagged it — it read like a corporate SaaS dashboard, not a family farm.
I gave the colourist a set of reference photos — real produce, kraft paper, hand-painted stall signage — and had it rebuild the palette around those warm earth tones. Same step, re-run with better inputs.
