43 corpus cards declare theme vibrant or theme minimal and could not realize. The catalog entry lands in OctoSense-org/OctoScript#8; this is the kit's answer to the names.

Both are deltas from dark, and both keep the panel-lift ratio every shipped mood converges on — measured at 1.12:1 in light and dark alike, stated here as an alpha so it self-scales to whatever ground the mood sets.

vibrant puts the colour in the page rather than in an accent — which is the one thing the accent axis cannot do, since accent reaches a bar, a highlight and a button and never a surface. Ink stays near-white; tinting the text as well is how a vibrant mood becomes an unreadable one.

minimal withdraws colour entirely and lets a hairline do the separating. Its brief is restraint, and one measurement says what restraint must not mean: in an eight-way blind comparison the emptiest mockup lost all seven of its pairs, with both judges calling its space "void", "empty, not a pause", "unmotivated". So the budget goes into a wider ink range and a slightly airier rhythm, not into removing things.

43 corpus cards declare one of these two and could not realize. The catalog
entry lands in Splash; this is the kit's answer to the names.

Both are deltas from dark and both keep the panel-lift ratio every shipped mood
converges on — measured at 1.12:1 in light and dark alike, and stated here as an
alpha so it self-scales to whatever ground the mood sets.

`vibrant` puts the colour in the PAGE rather than in an accent, which is the one
thing the accent axis cannot do: accent reaches a bar, a highlight and a button
and never a surface. Ink stays near-white — tinting the text as well is how a
vibrant mood becomes an unreadable one.

`minimal` withdraws colour entirely and lets a hairline do the separating. Its
brief is restraint, and one measurement this session says what restraint must
NOT mean: in an eight-way blind comparison the emptiest mockup lost all seven of
its pairs, with both judges calling its space "void", "empty, not a pause",
"unmotivated". So the budget goes into a wider ink range and a slightly airier
rhythm, not into removing things.
