ROUND 3 — Background Color Exploration

Column 1 is your current baseline. The next three columns explore lighter versions, with the lower swatch in each column also pulling saturation back slightly. This should help you judge whether the palette wants more air, less chroma, or both.

Baseline Current

Option 1 Top: lighter
Bottom: lighter + slightly less saturated

Option 2 Top: lighter again
Bottom: lighter + a bit softer

Option 3 Top: lightest test
Bottom: lightest + softest
