Using it

Do

  • Let cream, ink, aged-paper border, and transit indigo occupy most of the interface; accents should feel like labels, stamps, route lines, and fruit-market price cards.
  • Use apple and persimmon in small flat bands for youth-facing calls to action, badges, and editorial dividers.
  • Use plum as a glossy punctuation color for selected/active states, stamps, and premium moments rather than large backgrounds.
  • Pair Katagami pattern fields as low-contrast indigo-on-cream or cream-on-indigo blocks so craft texture supports hierarchy without becoming decoration.
  • For print and museum-poster applications, favor two-accent compositions: indigo plus one fruit color.

Avoid

  • Do not use all accents at full strength in one hero area; it turns into loud retro parody.
  • Do not reduce the system to beige nostalgia; every page needs one precise civic or market signal color.
  • Do not place muted text on bg for body copy; reserve muted for labels and metadata at larger sizes.
  • Avoid pure black, pure white, neon primaries, rainbow gradients, and generic corporate blue substitutions.
