Using it

Do

  • Let album cream and ground carry most area; use heritage indigo for structure, bands, stencil repeats, and primary navigation.
  • Use citrus and tomato/coral as edited fruit-market accents: small tabs, stamps, route dots, crop marks, or price-label moments.
  • Pair sportswear blue with indigo only when clarity or motion is needed, like transit transfer lines or athletic-number hierarchy.
  • Use metallic/dark trim for hairlines, folio numbers, rules, and book-cover spines rather than decorative shine.
  • Keep Katagami pattern scale disciplined: one repeat density per scene, with paper gutters and strong editorial cropping.

Avoid

  • Avoid oversaturated rainbow: never use citrus, tomato, green, and sportswear blue at equal volume.
  • Avoid beige-only nostalgia: every composition needs indigo structure or a fresh editorial pop.
  • Avoid loud retro parody: no fake distress textures, novelty diner palettes, or costume-vintage combinations.
  • Avoid corporate blandness: do not reduce the system to navy/white/blue SaaS; keep album paper, trim, and market accents present.
  • Do not use muted or stencil shadow as body text on ground.
