Narrowband Forax Colour Palette

I actually experimented some with Foraxx palette and found that I did not particularly like it in my images. However, it was interesting to see the final colours but in the end, I thought it yielded  more pleasing results when mixed with SHO palette.

Interesting framing.  It gives it a real 3D look
