At first glance, this poster presents a simple blue-yellow contrast; two characters beneath bright umbrellas. But it’s the supporting colors that push it into full tetriadic (square) territory. The red jacket and the mossy green landscape create a rich four color harmony, balanced across the wheel. Each hue is grounded in character or setting, giving emotional weight to what could otherwise be a playful palette. The result is a harmony that feels both vibrant and reflective—like the story itself.
