Do
  • · Use museum-white surface and warm cream background as the dominant 70–85% field; let negative space create polish.
  • · Reserve Calm browser cerulean for the primary action, selected navigation, and one key data series.
  • · Use lavender and mint as low-volume companion tints for cards, tabs, annotation bands, and calm comparison states.
  • · Use film peach or clay rose for human highlights, editorial moments, and warm emphasis rather than global backgrounds.
  • · Pair text on surface and text on background for AA+ reading; use dark text on pale tints and white/cream text on deeper cerulean only.
Don't
  • · Do not turn the system into sepia vintage; browns stay secondary and never muddy the neutral ground.
  • · Avoid childish primary combinations; never pair saturated red, yellow, and blue at equal weight.
  • · Avoid neon digital blue or generic pastel rainbow usage; every accent needs a semantic or compositional reason.
  • · Do not use muted, lavender, mint, or peach as body text on surface; they are atmosphere, not reading colors.
  • · Do not flood screens with all four signature colors; two accents plus neutrals is usually the maximum.
