Round 12 · alternate-color motion
This is a motion round, not a still palette board. Ten repository-swatch systems inherit two fixed Round 11 loops while registration, feather, geometry, paper grain, density, timing, and all forty-eight states stay fixed.
Two fixed motion controls
Measured current is the restrained, edge-led control. Liquid crescendo is the dramatic inward-and-flare control. Together they reveal whether a palette stays distinct under subtle motion and a larger liquid event.
Failure-to-fix record
The hard rectangular seam did not belong to the approved motion. The edit path progressively removed hue handling and swatch tiling until one fractional polar-angle branch remained. The final pass makes the transfer branch-continuous without changing the motion body.
red · orange · yellow · magenta
A hot red–orange body, yellow lift, and magenta punctuation. Warm without collapsing into one coral wash.
Quiet
The restrained, edge-led control. It tests whether each palette can stay alive without relying on one large interior event.
Expressive
The dramatic inward-and-flare control. It tests separation while the same watercolor body performs a larger liquid event.
violet · magenta · pink · sky
Violet and magenta carry the edge while pink and sky leave cooler air through the body.
Quiet
The restrained, edge-led control. It tests whether each palette can stay alive without relying on one large interior event.
Expressive
The dramatic inward-and-flare control. It tests separation while the same watercolor body performs a larger liquid event.
green · mint · yellow · lime
Yellow and lime flash at the wet edge; green and mint keep the interior mineral and quiet.

Expressive
The dramatic inward-and-flare control. It tests separation while the same watercolor body performs a larger liquid event.
pink · orange · mint · cyan
Pink and orange warmth cross a mint–cyan countercurrent for a translucent, nonliteral floral palette.
Quiet
The restrained, edge-led control. It tests whether each palette can stay alive without relying on one large interior event.
Expressive
The dramatic inward-and-flare control. It tests separation while the same watercolor body performs a larger liquid event.
blue · red · yellow
Red, yellow, and blue remain primary, but overlap as watery handoffs instead of graphic wedges.
Quiet
The restrained, edge-led control. It tests whether each palette can stay alive without relying on one large interior event.
Expressive
The dramatic inward-and-flare control. It tests separation while the same watercolor body performs a larger liquid event.
orange · pink · violet · blue
Orange moves through pink and violet into a deep blue seam: a dusk gradient with a cool return.
Quiet
The restrained, edge-led control. It tests whether each palette can stay alive without relying on one large interior event.
Expressive
The dramatic inward-and-flare control. It tests separation while the same watercolor body performs a larger liquid event.
red · orange · yellow · lime · green · mint · cyan · sky · blue · violet · magenta · pink
All twelve repository swatches orbit in spectral order, softened into continuous watercolor transitions.
Quiet
The restrained, edge-led control. It tests whether each palette can stay alive without relying on one large interior event.
Expressive
The dramatic inward-and-flare control. It tests separation while the same watercolor body performs a larger liquid event.
red · cyan · orange · blue · yellow · violet · green · magenta
Four opposed pairs trade depth across the same wet body: red/cyan, orange/blue, yellow/violet, and green/magenta.
Quiet

Expressive
The dramatic inward-and-flare control. It tests separation while the same watercolor body performs a larger liquid event.
green · mint · cyan · sky · blue · violet · magenta
Green, mint, cyan, blue, violet, and magenta make a cool multicolor field with one warmer violet crest.
Quiet

Expressive
The dramatic inward-and-flare control. It tests separation while the same watercolor body performs a larger liquid event.
red · orange · yellow · lime · green · mint · cyan · sky · blue · violet · magenta · pink
Every swatch appears as a soft local passage: distinct enough to read, but never detached from the watercolor mass.
