Choose the palette
A bakery asks for a header image for its winter menu. The brief is warm, cosy and appetising — but the last attempt came back in cool blue-grey tones that felt clinical and cold.
Which prompt gives the model the clearest direction toward a warm, appetising palette?
Hint
Name hues the way paint shops do — amber, cream, rust — not the feeling you hope for.
Compare the temperature: which option actually commits to warm?
Why this is the answer
“Warm and cosy” is the goal; amber, cream and muted wood are the instructions that achieve it. A palette brief works when it names a dominant family (amber), a support (cream and wood), an accent (deep red) and a saturation level (muted). Each of those is renderable, and each is a dial you can turn — swap the accent and the mood changes without rebuilding the scene.
