Warm earth tones - shifted from Kenaz's fiery orange into leather and wood territory. Think worn oak, saddle leather, the warmth of a well-used desk. Distinct in the dock but unmistakably from the same family.
Why Raidō
The rune literally means "riding" - the journey you take, the path forward. In Norse tradition it represents directed movement, the right order of things, and rhythmic progress.
For a task manager: What ride are you on today? What's the next step on the path?
The rune shape itself has a vertical stave (your backbone, your standing commitments) with branches reaching forward (the actions you take). It even looks like a checkbox with legs.
