“When they burst through, a small chain of colorful mountains appeared below them. The range spanned from the deepest, darkest blue to the shiniest, brightest white and everything in between. The foot of each mountain was a single color– midnight blue, mossy green, burnt umber – and this color, whatever it was, was the darkest shade it could be.

The peaks were glorious pastels, shimmering with only the faintest pigment.” MountainsColorsShadesPeaksPastelsPigments Book:The Lost Track of Time Source: The Lost Track of Time
