Cream and beige by reflex
- Forbidden
- A warm off-white page (
#f5f0e8,#faf7f2), beige cards and a brown-grey text colour, chosen because the brief said "warm", "editorial" or nothing at all - Instead
- The brand file's neutrals, or a decision recorded in
DECISIONS.md. Cream is a fine answer to a question someone asked; it is a default when nobody did.
What this rule looks like
Why this rule
Cream replaced violet (A-01) as the colour a model reaches for when asked to look tasteful. The failure is the same one: a palette nobody chose, which makes unrelated products look alike and dates every page that carries it.
