Color Palette: Northern Lights

I have always been fascinated by the northern lights. They are elusive, strange, and otherworldly, like something from folklore, but it’s real. I like things that are science, but feel a bit like magic. I’ve not yet experienced aurora borealis in person yet, but it’s on my bucket list.

 
The northern cheek of the heavens,
By a sudden glory kissed,
Blushed to the tint of roses,
And hid in an amber mist,
And through the northern pathway,
Trailing her robe of flame,
The queenly Borealis
In her dazzling beauty came!
— May Riley Smith
