Neo Brutal vs Soft Paper
Look Diff · Side-by-side decision
An analytical comparison of Neo Brutal (Brutal) and Soft Paper (Editorial) — palette distance, atmosphere tokens, and trust cues. No midpoint remix.
- Neo Brutal and Soft Paper sit close in OKLab palette space (mean ΔE≈0.15).
- 14% atmosphere agreement — 6 of 7 discrete tokens differ.
- Passport grades diverge: Neo Brutal is C, Soft Paper is B (design preview — not an audit).
Neo Brutal
Caution — some colors sit below WCAG AA on this background (17.8:1 text, 2.9:1 primary).
Passport grade C · CVD cautions 1/3 (approx.)
Soft Paper
Good contrast — readable text and primary on this background (13.0:1 text, 5.5:1 primary).
Passport grade B · CVD cautions 0/3 (approx.)

Needs contrast care
Some text or primary colors fall below WCAG AA (4.5:1) on this background. One color vision simulation flags a distinctiveness caution (approx.) — worth a quick check before launch.
