Swatches
Small samples, large consequences.
A swatch is a negotiation between promise and evidence. Giyga reads each sample for the behaviors that usually hide in a polished mockup: whether a color asks for too much attention, whether the ground still feels like material, whether a motif becomes muddy when repeated, and whether a pattern has enough internal variation to stay alive without becoming restless.
Field density
How much of the ground is allowed to remain quiet before the surface feels unfinished or overcrowded.
Accent load
The point at which a bright or dark note stops guiding the eye and starts interrupting every repeat.
Motif scale
The distance between close inspection and normal use, especially when a pattern moves from screen to object.
Ground memory
The way the background color keeps a trace of the whole palette even when motifs are sparse.
