Purple and violet as the unspecified default

Forbidden
A violet or indigo fill, or a violet→pink gradient, chosen because no colour was specified
Instead
Use --color-brand from the brand file. The unbranded default resolves it to near-black, which ships a coherent monochrome UI and makes the missing decision visible. Then ask.

What this rule looks like

Why this rule

Being asked to propose a colour does not discharge this. A proposal is a question with a suggested answer, not a decision — so suggest one freely when asked, but ship the unbranded default alongside it and leave the brand file unchanged until a human confirms. Two agents given the same brief split on exactly this point, one deferring and one treating its own proposal as the answer, and both cited the same conflict-resolution clause to get there. The task can ask you for a recommendation; it cannot make you the one who decided.
