Wheatpaste

Confrontational and nocturnal: bright photocopied paper shouting off a grimy dark wall under a single sodium light. Loud, handled, utilitarian — never pretty or soft.

Using it

Do

Keep amber as a single highlighter per region — live tags, one primary button, focus rings, chart/meter peak.
Run bright paper scraps against the tar-black wall for contrast; let the wall show between them.
Hold semantic colours quiet; warning shares the amber, success/error/info stay muted and never primary.

Avoid

Do not wash a surface in amber or use it as a background fill.
Do not soften to a pale paper ground or pure white; the ground is tar-black.
Do not introduce a second bright accent — one amber only.
