  "stdout": "BRAND SEED · seed-088\n\nSeed color (anchor for your primary brand color):\n  oklch(0.476 0.158 268.5) — violet / purple (one read: \"pre-dawn astronomer's notebook — deep indigo sky just before the stars fade, ink and graphite\")\n\nThis is the brand's anchor — a single beautiful color. Compose the rest of\nthe palette around it using YOUR judgment, the brief (PRODUCT.md /\nDESIGN.md / the user's prompt), and the color-strategy guidance already in\nSKILL.md.\n\nHow to use:\n\n1. Read the brief. Write one specific phrase describing the mood this\n   product calls for. Be granular. Good: \"1970s travel poster — sun-baked\n   warmth, considered\", \"midnight jazz club — smoky brass, saxophone\n   light\", \"Scandinavian winter morning — quiet light through frost\". Bad:\n   \"modern and clean\", \"warm and inviting\". The first lets you compose; the\n   second is generic and will produce generic palettes.\n\n2. The seed's hue (269°) anchors your primary brand color. You\n   choose L and C to match the mood. The same hue can be deep-and-velvet,\n   bright-and-confident, or pale-and-faded — pick the one the mood demands.\n   Primary's hue should stay within ±10° of the seed.\n  - one example strategy: Near-black bg with the faintest cool tint to evoke night sky without theatrics; primary holds the seed's indigo, accent shifts to a paler periwinkle for stellar contrast, keeping the palette monochromatic-cool and observational.\n\n3. Now compose the full palette in OKLCH (5 more roles):\n     • bg       — the most important architectural choice.\n                  CORE PRINCIPLE: the mood lives in the BRAND COLORS\n                  (primary + accent) and typography, NOT in the surface.\n                  A warm brand puts the warmth in its primary against a\n                  pure surface. Putting warmth in BOTH primary AND bg is\n                  the AI cliché.\n\n                  DEFAULT A — PURE white: exactly oklch(1.000 0.000 0).\n                    Not 0.99, not chroma 0.002. The most confident\n                    brands in every field — fashion houses, galleries,\n                    publishers, tool makers — use literal #ffffff.\n                    Don't add hidden warmth.\n\n                  DEFAULT B — PURE black/near-black: L 0.04-0.12,\n                    chroma exactly 0.000. No hue tint. Pick L for the\n                    mood (cinema dark, gallery dark, instrument-panel\n                    dark); C stays 0.\n\n                  ALT 2 — TINTED: chroma 0.015-0.05.\n                    Use ONLY when:\n                    (a) the mood is EXPLICITLY environmental — the surface\n                        IS part of the brand (1920s lacquered interior,\n                        leather library, ceramic studio, hotel lobby), or\n                    (b) the seed itself is desaturated (chroma < 0.10) and\n                        needs a tinted surface to read as a brand.\n                    NOT for \"feels warm\" / \"modern + warm\" / \"moody\". If\n                    your mood says \"warm\" but doesn't name a specific\n                    environment, use PURE white and let primary carry\n                    the warmth.\n\n                  HEURISTIC: if the seed's chroma > 0.10 and the mood\n                  doesn't name a specific environment, it's almost\n                  always PURE white. Target distribution across many\n                  palettes: ~50% pure white, ~25% pure black, ~25%\n                  tinted.\n     • surface  — bg pulled slightly toward ink (10-15% mix). Same hue\n                  family as bg. Used for cards, panels, sections.\n     • ink      — body text color. Must reach ≥7:1 contrast vs bg.\n                  Can carry the brand hue at low chroma in light mode\n                  (slight warmth or coolness toward the brand).\n     • accent   — a SECOND brand color, distinct from primary in BOTH\n                  hue AND lightness. Picked to complement the mood (not\n                  default-complementary across the wheel). Used for\n                  badges, status pills, links, accent rules.\n     • muted    — secondary text. Ink pulled 40% toward bg, keeping ink's\n                  hue. Must reach ≥3.5:1 contrast vs bg.\n\n4. Pick a color STRATEGY (the four steps from SKILL.md):\n     • Restrained: tinted neutrals + accent ≤10% — product default\n     • Committed: one saturated color carries 30-60% — identity-driven\n     • Full palette: 3-4 named roles each used deliberately — brand work\n     • Drenched: the surface IS the color — campaign, hero, statement\n   The brief picks the strategy. A startup dashboard ≠ a perfume brand.\n\nHard rules (already in SKILL.md, recapped because the seed step is where\nthey actually bite):\n\n  - OKLCH only — never hex. Never #RRGGBB.\n  - ink-vs-bg WCAG contrast ≥ 7 (body text must be readable)\n  - primary chroma ≤ 0.23 (above this, primary glows perceptually and\n    no text on it is readable — acid-bright is a UI failure)\n  - if primary L > 0.78, primary chroma ≤ 0.18 (the fluorescent zone)\n  - primary-vs-accent contrast ≥ 1.7 (they must be visually distinct,\n    not two variants of the same hue at similar lightness)\n  - accent must carry readable text on a filled badge/pill: EITHER\n    saturated (chroma ≥ 0.10) OR clearly light (L ≥ 0.85) OR clearly\n    dark (L ≤ 0.30). Never a muddy mid-tone (L 0.45-0.72 + chroma < 0.10)\n    — taupe/mushroom/dusty-grey accents read as weak and can't hold text\n    either way. Saturate it or push its lightness to a clear light/dark.\n  - avoid the saturated AI attractor zones: claude-beige (warm-cream bg\n    + dusty brown primary), forest-green-on-cream, AI-purple-on-white,\n    navy-cream-with-orange-accent\n\nTEXT-ON-COLOR FILLS — pick by perceptual contrast, not just WCAG. The\nrule applies to ANY element where text sits on a saturated color fill:\nprimary buttons, accent buttons, badges, status pills, tag highlights,\nfilled callouts. Don't only think \"primary button\" — apply consistently.\n\nFor any saturated mid-luminance color (L between 0.42 and 0.78, chroma ≥\n0.08), use WHITE text (or near-white from your bg), not dark text — even\nif WCAG says dark technically passes. The Helmholtz-Kohlrausch effect\nmakes saturated colors appear brighter than their luminance suggests,\nand dark text on a warm-or-cool-saturated fill reads as muddy.\n\nConvention: saturated action fills in the wild, from fast-food reds to\nstatus pills to filled badges, near-universally carry white text.\n\nDark text is correct only on PALE fills (L > 0.85) or PURE-NEUTRAL fills\n(chroma near 0). Everything else: white text.\n\nReturn your composed palette in CSS custom properties using OKLCH, then\nbuild with it. The seed is the start, not the recipe.\n",
