Using it

Do

  • Keep the ground warm bone; reserve cyan for the one active probe, focus, and registration mark.
  • Use graphite as the ink for hairlines, headings, and the primary action.
  • Keep semantic pine/amber/rust as small dot and chip roles only.

Avoid

  • Do not spread cyan into more than one registration mark, or use it as a fill for emphasis.
  • Do not let semantic colours go visually primary.
  • Do not grey-wash the neutrals or add gradients/glow.
