A note card carried a 1px tint border. Measured against its own fill, that
line was a 1.56-2.09 contrast in dark mode while the fill managed only
1.03-1.05 against the board — so the loudest thing on every card was an
identical line in an identical place, and a field of them read as a grid of
outlined rectangles however different the colours inside were.
Removed from the note card on both surfaces. `border` survives for panels,
banners, the update card and the pickers: those are single elements, not a
field of them.
What replaces it differs by theme, because elevation does.
Light leans on a shadow. An untagged card is `bg-red-50` on a `neutral-50`
board — a 1.04 contrast that can only read as a card by sitting above one.
The web goes `shadow-sm` -> `shadow`; Android had no shadow at all and gets
2dp.
Dark cannot use one, black on near-black. So the subdued fills moved onto
the card surface instead: `{hue}-950` composited at 0.18 over #171717 and
baked, rather than the same hue at 0.25 over the near-black board. An
untagged card now sits where the plain white card always sat (1.11-1.14
against the board, against `bg-neutral-900`'s 1.10) while carrying LESS hue
than before — chroma 7-17 where the old ramp had 10-23.
Subtler and more visible at once, which is only a contradiction if subtlety
has to come from lightness. Here it comes from chroma, and lightness is left
to say "this is a card". Which also reframes the two weights: in dark they
now sit within a hair of each other (red: 1.11 vs 1.12) and differ threefold
in colour (chroma 10 vs 41).
The chosen ramp is untouched — the operator signed those colours off, and a
ramp somebody likes is not something to redo while fixing something else.
Light was already built this way: `-50` and `-100` are both white plus a
different amount of hue.
Body text still measures 14.3-16.4 against the 4.5 it needs, meta 6.9-7.1
against 3.0.
