Colour story
Where this came from.
A palette card in a screenshot of a phone.
TRANSCRIBED. Least reliable of the five — see the caution.
This image is a screenshot of a screenshot with a phone interface over it, and shows three palettes at once. Only one card is fully legible. Its own printed hex and RGB values disagree in three places, and three of the six could not be confirmed against the pixels because the sampler picked up interface chrome instead of the swatch. Treat these as approximate and re-check them against the original if this palette is used.

What it does to the seams
Checked against every fabric pair, weighted by how much seam length each pair actually shares in this quilt. 11.82% of the seam length falls below the contrast where a seam stops reading, and 14.18% is soft.

- 2 of the 6 fabrics are dark. Two darks compete; one dark punctuates.
- A-D carries 11.03% of the quilt's seams at contrast 1.12 — those seams will not read.
- C-F carries 0.79% of the quilt's seams at contrast 1.24 — those seams will not read.
Contrast is measured on screen colours, not on fabric. It tells you where the piecing will disappear, not which bolt to buy.
