+The following colors were selected as part of a software development project at university. \
+However, we ended up using a modified color palette, so I decided to publish the colors here.
+
+This color palette is licensed under the `MIT` license.
+
+# Why
+Close your eyes. Think of a medieval time period, or the way old books look.
+Picture the illustrations drawn in these books.
+See those vivid colors, those deep blues and the red capital letters.
+
+Now go online and try to find a medieval color palette, that is freely available.
+
+This is where *Antico* comes in.
+
+> Antico is a handpicked, gotic/antique color palette with many color variants.
+
+# Process
+When looking for medieval-style fonts,
+I came across [GoticoAntiqua](http://gotico-antiqua.anrt-nancy.fr/):
+> In parallel to historical research, Rafael Ribas & Alexis Faudot, researchers at ANRT, produced fifteen fonts and one set of initial letters. 
+
+A true gold mine, if you ask me. 
+Inspired by these fonts, I created a sepia-style color palette,
+by referencing fantasy-style paintings of medieval landscapes.
+
+Antico was created in a similar fashion,
+this time, I went through the videos on the GoticoAntiqua website,
+and screenshotted all the parts where they showed writing and illustrations.
+Then I went through and hand-picked matching colors from these pictures.
+
+You can find these colors below.
