Style explorations — the accent, on the real home screen

Ebony stays; the accent is the question. Four candidates on the identical U1 layout — brass is the incumbent ("stock AI-app" risk noted), the other three trade yellow for other piano-adjacent materials. Type, spacing, and components are constant; only the accent changes.

Brass — the incumbent. Warm, legible; also the default "dark AI app" look.

Felt — the red under every piano lid. Rich and unmistakably piano; error states would shift to a hotter scarlet to stay distinct.

Verdigris — patinated bronze, the green of old instrument hardware. Calm, distinctive, nothing else looks like it.

Rosewood copper — fallboard wood and copper strings. Warm like brass but browner, off the beaten AI path.

Celadon — muted sage-green, the quietest of the set. Recedes politely; the music stays the loudest thing on screen.

Cobalt — the pigment blue, saturated. Crisp and modern; the boldest departure from the warm-materials story.

Slate blue — desaturated steel. Understated and serious; reads more "instrument" than "app."
