Accent Worlds
Seven accent worlds across the projects, shown as one family. One perceptual color engine, one origin hue per project.
The engine
One perceptual color system. Drag the origin hue and watch a full tonal scale and a living interface recolor in real time. Snap to any of my worlds and see they are points on the same wheel.
Every surface, line and accent derives from a single origin hue. Change the hue, keep the structure.
The family
Every project is one rotation of the same engine. Same lightness, same chroma curve, a different origin hue. Astrophotal is the deliberate exception, a triad of emission lines.
Schmidlin Studio · Emerald
H 155°The studio voice. A warm jewel emerald, precise and natural.
Every surface, line and accent derives from a single origin hue. Change the hue, keep the structure.
Kentainment · Gold
H 82°The association mark. A warm gold, editorial and grounded.
Every surface, line and accent derives from a single origin hue. Change the hue, keep the structure.
Astrophotal · Emission
3 huesThe exception. Three real emission lines, hydrogen pink, oxygen teal and sulphur amber, used as a living triad rather than one hue.
Wisdom Boom · Magenta
H 16°A vivid magenta for the music stage.
Every surface, line and accent derives from a single origin hue. Change the hue, keep the structure.
Sound of Extinction · Signal
H 27°A warm signal red, cinematic and urgent.
Every surface, line and accent derives from a single origin hue. Change the hue, keep the structure.
Descienced · Violet
H 283°A curious violet for the science platform.
Every surface, line and accent derives from a single origin hue. Change the hue, keep the structure.
Why OKLCH
The reason this works as one system rather than seven.
Perceptual lightness
In OKLCH the same lightness looks equally bright across every hue. Emerald and magenta at L 56 carry the same visual weight, so a layout stays balanced when the hue changes.
One logic, many worlds
We author the lightness and chroma curve once. Each project just rotates the origin hue, so the whole family stays coherent without hand tuning seven palettes.
Dark and light from one source
The same ramp reads top to bottom for light surfaces and bottom to top for dark. One definition covers both themes.
Beyond HSL
HSL lightness lies, yellow at 50 percent looks far brighter than blue. OKLCH is built on human vision, so the numbers match what the eye sees.
