Recipe · 9.1 / twilight / 32% / forward / phase 0 / stain
Round 10 · chromatic cover matrix
Let the cover borrow the ocean
Six promoted registered covers keep their corrected center, wall, feather, and direct timing. Black is replaced with pigments derived from the repository ocean palette, then the covers are scored as single and layered compositions.
- Outcome
- 20 chromatic recipes · 5 later promoted
- Active build time
- Not separately recorded
- Scope
- 6 motions · 11 materials · 2 hero bodies
System
Eleven materials, six motions, two heroes
Source luminance is remapped through actual mint, cyan, sky, blue, and violet swatches, two controlled saturation overshoots, and palette-derived mineral gray. Source alpha, clumps, gaps, geometry, and timing remain intact.
Six single-cover calibrations establish the pigments. Ten recipes layer, reverse, and phase-shift two or three covers on Matisse lagoon. Four promoted structures then repeat unchanged on Abyss ribbon to prove the recipe works beyond one pale hero.
Calibration · one cover
First hear each cover in one pigment
6 options
The single-layer pass asks whether each promoted registered motion wants to behave as a dark stain, a pale shell, or a saturated punctuation mark.

Ultramarine halo
Cover 9.3 becomes a quiet ultramarine breath instead of a charcoal shell.
Recipe · 9.3 / ultramarine / 30% / forward / phase 0

Sea-glass shell
Cover 9.5 uses a pale cyan-green highlight so its double line catches light.

Mineral latitude
Cover 9.8 keeps the requested gray note, but derives it from sky, blue, and violet.

Matisse lagoon · 1 layer
Electric stitch
Cover 9.9 slightly overshoots the orb’s blue-violet saturation for intermittent sparks.

Deep-cyan dimple
Cover 9.10 presses into the wall with a dense cyan stain instead of black.

Deep / light relay
Promoted to Round 11
A twilight 9.1 carries the wall while a reversed sea-glass 9.5 arrives twelve frames later.
Recipe · 9.1 / twilight / 24% / forward / phase 0 / stain · 9.5 / sea-glass / 28% / reverse / phase 12

Halo / horizon
A deep halo, blue-gray latitude, and small lagoon echo divide definition across three depths.

Tidal stitches
Promoted to Round 11
Azure latitude, saturated stitches, and a brief mist dimple make the cover appear in beats.
Recipe · 9.8 / azure / 20% / forward / phase 0 · 9.9 / electric-blue / 28% / forward / phase 16 · 9.10 / sea-mist / 14% / reverse / phase 31
Matisse lagoon · 2 layers
Pressure atmosphere
Promoted to Round 11
A twilight dimple pushes beneath a pale reversed halo, separating structure from air.
Recipe · 9.10 / twilight / 24% / forward / phase 0 / stain · 9.3 / sea-mist / 24% / reverse / phase 13
Matisse lagoon · 2 layers
Chromatic echo
Promoted to Round 11
Two copies of 9.1 share geometry but run four frames apart in cyan and ultramarine.
Recipe · 9.1 / deep-cyan / 20% / forward / phase 0 · 9.1 / ultramarine / 18% / forward / phase 4
Matisse lagoon · 3 layers
Three-temperature wall
Twilight orbit, lagoon double shell, and electric stitches trade the boundary in thirds.
Recipe · 9.1 / twilight / 18% / forward / phase 0 / stain · 9.5 / lagoon / 20% / reverse / phase 16 · 9.9 / electric-blue / 20% / forward / phase 32
Matisse lagoon · 3 layers
Sea-glass chase
A pale double shell, clean blue stitches, and sparse mineral dimple keep the total ink low.
Recipe · 9.5 / sea-glass / 24% / forward / phase 0 · 9.9 / open-blue / 24% / forward / phase 19 · 9.10 / mineral-gray / 14% / reverse / phase 35
Matisse lagoon · 3 layers
Quiet architecture
Promoted to Round 11
The lowest-contrast stack: a deep halo, soft latitude, and mist dimple never arrive together.
Recipe · 9.3 / ultramarine / 16% / forward / phase 0 / stain · 9.8 / azure / 15% / reverse / phase 24 · 9.10 / sea-mist / 18% / forward / phase 12

Saturated crest
Retained flare vocabulary
The overshoot test gives cyan 9.1 and blue 9.3 small bright peaks above a lagoon shell.
Recipe · 9.1 / electric-cyan / 22% / forward / phase 0 · 9.3 / electric-blue / 18% / reverse / phase 15 · 9.5 / lagoon / 16% / forward / phase 29

Cross-current
A reversed cyan horizon crosses a twilight dimple while mist stitches flicker around both.
Recipe · 9.8 / deep-cyan / 20% / reverse / phase 0 · 9.10 / twilight / 22% / forward / phase 20 / stain · 9.9 / sea-mist / 14% / forward / phase 34
Second-hero validation
Make sure the recipe—not the pale orb—is working
4 repeated structures
Deep/light relay, Tidal stitches, Three-temperature wall, and Quiet architecture repeat unchanged on Abyss ribbon. A pale-field-only success would fail this comparison.
Abyss ribbon · 2 layers
Abyss relay
Deep / light relay moves unchanged onto the darker Abyss ribbon hero.
Recipe · 9.1 / twilight / 24% / forward / phase 0 / stain · 9.5 / sea-glass / 28% / reverse / phase 12
Abyss ribbon · 3 layers
Abyss stitches
Tidal stitches tests whether saturated fragments remain useful over existing dark currents.
Recipe · 9.8 / azure / 20% / forward / phase 0 · 9.9 / electric-blue / 28% / forward / phase 16 · 9.10 / sea-mist / 14% / reverse / phase 31
Abyss ribbon · 3 layers
Abyss three-wall
The three-temperature wall proves the layered color handoff against a sparser base.
Recipe · 9.1 / twilight / 18% / forward / phase 0 / stain · 9.5 / lagoon / 20% / reverse / phase 16 · 9.9 / electric-blue / 20% / forward / phase 32

Abyss quiet architecture
The quietest stack checks whether low-contrast definition survives a second hero.
Recipe · 9.3 / ultramarine / 16% / forward / phase 0 / stain · 9.8 / azure / 15% / reverse / phase 24 · 9.10 / sea-mist / 18% / forward / phase 12
Decision carried into Round 11
Promote five jobs, not a single look
Deep/light relay, Tidal stitches, Pressure atmosphere, Chromatic echo, and Quiet architecture become the five stable hero characters. Saturated crest is not a hero, but its rare high-chroma event remains useful magical-flare vocabulary. The source does not label the other recipes as failures.
