Let museum-white bg and surface occupy roughly 70–80% of the composition; color should feel placed, not poured.
Use Calm browser cerulean as the single primary action and navigation selection color.
Use lavender and mint as companion tints for grouping, empty states, stationery-like side notes, and low-pressure secondary UI.
Use peach as a film-warm highlight for avatars, timestamps, annotations, and celebratory micro-moments rather than global chrome.
Pair text on surface and text on bg for AA+ body reading; use dark accent.900 or text on pale accent tints.

Do not push the palette into sepia nostalgia, muddy browns, childish primaries, or neon Y2K overload.
Do not use all four signature colors at equal volume; cerulean leads, lavender/mint support, peach appears sparingly.
Do not set body copy in muted on bg; reserve muted for metadata and labels at larger sizes.
Do not replace the museum-white ground with saturated pastel fields; that makes it generic stationery instead of gallery-polished.
