Do
  • · Use album cream and warm ground as the visible majority; let ink and heritage indigo carry structure.
  • · Reserve citrus accent for the primary poster note, active route, price burst, or editorial crop mark.
  • · Use tomato/coral, leaf green, and sportswear blue as coded accents in small blocks with generous cream spacing.
  • · Keep Katagami repeats tonal: indigo at 8-18 percent visual weight or stencil shadow as quiet texture.
  • · Build book-cover and transit systems from flat bands, hard edges, and clear figure-ground contrast.
Don't
  • · Do not turn the palette into an oversaturated rainbow; never use all accents at equal weight.
  • · Do not rely on beige-only nostalgia; always anchor with ink, indigo, or sportswear blue.
  • · Avoid loud retro parody: no candy primaries, fake distress overload, or novelty fruit-sign clutter.
  • · Avoid corporate blandness: do not reduce the system to generic navy, gray, and safe blue buttons.
  • · Never put muted text on ground for body copy or citrus text on cream.
