I was staring at the faded murals in the old train station yesterday, and the way the colors have aged almost reads like a story. Have you ever walked into a forgotten place and felt its palette tell you something?

That’s exactly how I think about abandoned places – as living palettes waiting to be decoded. The muted blues of the crumbling walls, the washed‑out white of the lantern, the faint gray of the sea spray all combine into a muted symphony. If you’re looking to capture that in a design, isolate the dominant tones, map them to a simple gradient, and let the shadows define the edges. It keeps the story simple yet powerful, just like a clean interface.
