Warmth 26/100
Cool
Reads cool and recessive — calming, technical, good for trust-led UI.
Softness 69/100

Depth 13/100
Very low
Airy and open — recedes, leaves the composition light.
Naturalness 24/100
Low
Reads engineered rather than organic — synthetic, digital.
Vintage feel 31/100
Low
A faint retro warmth without tipping into sepia.
Luxury 19/100
Very low
Playful and accessible rather than exclusive.

Weak as an action color — too pale, too dark or too muted to signal.
