COLOR.

Five colors. Three roles. Every slab, stamp, and badge in the system draws from this palette. Color is punctuation — vivid, bold, used with intent.

Primary — Hot

#FF0054

The lead voice. CTAs, headlines, problem statements, disruption. The first color people remember.

4.5:1 on white · 3.2:1 on cream

Secondary — Acid

#EEFF00

Electric highlight. Stamps, labels, terminal accents, compatibility blocks. Demands attention without dominating.

18.3:1 on black · 1.1:1 on white (decoration only)

Accent — Blue

#0055FF

Cool contrast. Links, interactive states, the "other side" in comparisons. Balances the warm hot + acid pair.

5.1:1 on white

Inverse — Black

#0A0A0A

Terminal slabs, conversation blocks, code. The dark canvas where terminal colors and bioluminescent accents live.

18.6:1 on white

Base — White

#F5F5F0

Page background. Not pure white — warm, papery. The zine surface.

Surface — Cream

#EAE8E0

Subtle differentiation from base. Cards, nav backgrounds, secondary surfaces.

#00E898 — mint prompts, success, user input
#FFD000 — amber system labels, flags, warnings
#E8572A — vermillion output labels, errors
#555555 — dim comments, muted text
