How to use it
- Deco lives on contrast and thin lines. Try Deep Emerald as the background with Brass rules, fan shapes and numerals, and Ivory for the text.
- Chrome is the cool partner to Brass. Use one metal per element: a Brass border with Chrome text looks like a mistake.
- On Ivory, Onyx does the reading and Deep Emerald does the headlines.
