i · POETRY · 诗谶
「徒以煙墨不言，受其驅染；紙札無情，任其搖襞。」
—— 蕭綱 · 《與湘東王書》
ii · ETYMOLOGY · 字源

墨本义为书写绘画用的黑色颜料（松烟与胶制成）。从土从黑会意，黑亦表声。墨色（黑色）由此引申，《广雅·释器》亦明言「墨，黑也」。

iv · AI PROMPT

Smoke Ink (#5C4F55) as the primary color for a illustration; use it as a attributed Chinese color reference, pair it with harmonious supporting colors, and do not treat the name translation as proof of an exact historical HEX value
