Decoupage
Three electric spot inks used like highlighters, plus a violet that exists only where two inks overprint, all glowing on a dark ink wall. Loud and collectible, but bright and clean — each ink stays flat and distinct, never muddy.

Do
- · Use the three spot inks like highlighters — flat, bright, distinct — on the dark wall.
- · Let violet appear only where two inks overprint; treat it as the multiply seam and the info role.
- · Keep semantic colours (success/warning/error) a small part of the language, never visually primary.
- · Tune neutrals cool-dark to the ink temperature; keep paper-white text high-contrast.
Don't
- · Wash the ground white or pastel — the wall is dark.
- · Blend the inks into muddy brown; keep each spot flat.
- · Promote a semantic colour to a headline accent.
- · Use violet as a standalone fourth highlighter unrelated to overprint.
