Week 5 Lab: Settling a palette

Week 5 lab, choose a colour system and make it hold across unrelated programs

22 March 2027

The lab where a colour scheme has to become a colour system.

Before the lab#

Bring the palette you applied to your terminal and one other program, and the place they disagreed about what “background” means.

In the lab#

We measure contrast rather than argue about it, then extend one palette across a third and fourth program to find where a scheme breaks and a system holds. If you chose Gruvbox or Catppuccin, defend it. If you rolled your own, defend that harder.

Afterwards#

You leave with a palette that survives contact with new applications, and a contrast figure you can stand behind.
