Warm daylight
Warm daylight, and the only light world in the set. Cream walls, cut flowers, tea things and a bright afternoon coming through the window. The crime is no less serious, but nothing about the room is trying to frighten you — which turns out to be its own kind of unsettling. Greens, corals and honey on a pale ground; a village-fete palette with a body in it.
