Measured, the nine dark subdued fills were separated from each other by at most a 1.03 contrast ratio. That is not "subtle", it is identical, and it is why a board of them reads as one card repeated: "I only see 3 colors ... it looks like a monolithic wall." Two causes, and the second one is mine. NINE IS TOO FEW. The palette exists to say WHICH TAG. An untagged note's fill says nothing at all — it only has to keep the board from repeating. Those are different jobs and tying them together capped the second at nine values for a board that will hold hundreds. ONE AXIS IS TOO FEW. The subdued ramp varied hue while pinning every fill to the same lightness — deliberately, so each would read as a card against the board. But the eye separates by lightness first, so nine hues at one lightness are one card nine times. Hue alone was never going to carry it at that darkness. So an untagged note's fill is now generated from its id rather than looked up: hue anywhere on the circle, one of six lightness levels, saturation fixed. 324 distinct fills in dark and 193 in light, against nine. Separation between fills goes from a 1.03 ceiling to 1.42. Varying lightness is only SAFE because the card has its own grey edge now. While the fill was the card's only boundary it could not afford to drift toward the board; the edge bought that freedom, one commit before it was needed. Saturation is the one dial the hash never touches — variety comes from hue and lightness, loudness would come from saturation. Dark starts a hair under `neutral-900` and climbs, so no note is ever darker than a plain card. Light runs from white down past the board. Body text measures 8.7 at worst against the 4.5 it needs; the meta row 5.1 against 3.0. DOUBLE, NOT FLOAT, on the Kotlin side. JavaScript has one number type and it is binary64; a Kotlin Float is binary32, so the two would round differently near a channel boundary and a note would be one byte off between the phone and the browser. Nobody would ever file that — they would see two colours that are "sort of the same" and never work out why. The web half cannot be executed here at all (no node on this machine), so the Kotlin fixture test is the only place the two implementations are ever compared. It now pins eight generated values as well as the hash, plus the properties that actually matter: that lightness varies, that nothing sinks below the card surface, and that body text stays clear of AA.
