WHY IT WORKS

Hermès Oran (cream, wood block heel). Cream against cool lavender is complementary grounding — warm ivory against cool purple (same logic as cognac Sarah Flint against powder blue). Wood heel provides organic warm note. Elevates purple significantly, pushes toward evening/occasion territory. Strong but more committed in register.

THE TENSION

Cool lavender vs. warm cream/wood — complementary grounding; warmth elevates purple significantly
