About the Palette

A Color Language from the Land

Formosa Palette is a color system inspired by the natural landscapes of Taiwan — coastal mist, volcanic stone, mountain moss, river clay, marble grey, warm earth, and tropical shade. Rather than treating color as decoration, POEMA translates the atmosphere of Taiwan into mineral surfaces through depth, texture, and light.
