This color palette is derived from the Bohemian Waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus). The Waxwing is a sleek crested bird that travels in large nomadic groups, which refers to its name Bohemian. Waxwing refers to the bright red, bead-like tips of the secondary feathers on its wings, which look like drops of sealing wax. The Bohemian Waxwing is the only member of this family whose range circumnavigates all the continents just below the sub-arctic latitudes. The coloration of this wandering bird is subtle and warm and lends itself to a beautiful color palette.
