Pigment pools behind
A translucent watercolour bloom settles behind each module — sage, teal, or rose — the way a wet wash dries unevenly onto paper. Content floats on open ivory, never a hard panel.
Herbier mounts every module on a translucent watercolour wash, names it with an accession code, and rules it like a herbarium plate — software that reads as a naturalist's field notebook.
Every Herbier screen carries the same three signs of a herbarium sheet — so a dashboard, a form, and a catalogue all feel collected by the same hand.
A translucent watercolour bloom settles behind each module — sage, teal, or rose — the way a wet wash dries unevenly onto paper. Content floats on open ivory, never a hard panel.
A serif title, a small uppercase accession code, and a hairline rule that runs off into whitespace — each section reads as a curated catalogue plate, not a generic card header.
Measurements, status, and provenance sit on a tinted paper band beside the study, kept desaturated and peripheral so the specimen always leads the eye.
The hero is a real watercolour study in the Pigment Wash technique: confident translucent pigment, fine ink contour lines, feathered wet edges on bright archival paper. The same hand paints every plate in the system.
Three pigments used like highlighters over warm ivory, with ochre held back for warnings. Tune neutrals to the wash, never to cold grey.
Drop in the tokens, paint a hero in the Pigment Wash style, and every screen reads like a page from the same herbarium.
