A signal. A living world.

The identity is red, black and white. Blue and pink belong to the broader experience, carrying the depth and warmth of the character.

Colour needs a role.

Recognition is not a status.

Keep the exact red for the logo. Use semantic tokens for text, focus, warnings and results. Pair status colour with words and icons. A red claw never means an action failed.

Keep orange inside the character’s natural shell pigment. It is not a fifth logo treatment or an extra accent in interface controls.

Passes WCAG AA contrast for normal text.

WCAG 2.x sRGB relative luminance calculation. AA normal text needs 4.5:1; large text and relevant UI boundaries need 3:1. Contrast alone does not establish accessibility. W3C contrast guidance ↗
