Phosphene
A dark-glass display palette: a warm amber phosphor glow leading, a cool glass cyan answering, and a single hot magenta spark — all lit on a deep ink-navy ground, like a control readout coming alive in a dim room.

Do
- · Lead with amber as the primary glow; let cyan answer and reserve magenta for a single spark.
- · Keep the ground deep ink-navy so lit cells and accents read as light, not paint.
- · Map operational state to the accent inks (active=amber, idle/info=cyan, fault/peak=magenta).
Don't
- · Do not flood large areas with magenta — it is a spark, never a field.
- · Do not lighten the ground toward white; the palette is built for a dark display.
- · Do not introduce a fourth accent hue.
