Primeval is a slightly softened black, one of the deepest and most ancient-feeling colors in the Metamorphosis Palette. It is darker than almost every other shade, giving it a quiet but powerful naturalist identity.
Primeval is part of the Metamorphosis Palette, a curated collection inspired by natural history, collected interiors, and the quiet beauty of the world around us. Absolute reads modern yet timeless, anchoring both light and layered palettes with clarity and depth.
