# mono-ink
Black ink on pure white with sparse semantic accent colors
## Background
- Color: Pure White (#FFFFFF)
- Texture: Clean, no grain, no tint
## Colors
| Role | Color | Hex | Usage |
|------|-------|-----|-------|
| Background | Pure White | #FFFFFF | Canvas |
| Primary | Near Black | #1A1A1A | All lines, text, figures, arrows |
| Accent (risk/emphasis) | Coral Red | #E8655A | Risk, problem, gap, key emphasis |
| Accent (positive) | Muted Teal | #5FA8A8 | Positive, solution, "after" state |
| Accent (neutral tag) | Dusty Lavender | #9B8AB5 | Neutral tags, category labels |
| Soft Fill | Pale Gray | #F0F0F0 | Subtle zone backgrounds (optional) |
## Accent
Use black ink for all structural elements — lines, text, figures. Accent colors appear only for semantic highlighting: coral red for risks/gaps/problems, muted teal for positive/solution/after-states, dusty lavender for neutral category tags. Total colored pixels must remain under 10% of canvas. Pale gray may back a subtle zone but must never dominate.
## Compatible With
- `ink-notes` (primary, default pairing)
- `minimal` (strict monochrome variation, drops the style's built-in accent)
- `sketch` (pencil + ink hybrid look)
## Not Recommended With
- `sketch-notes` — its "no pure white backgrounds" rule conflicts
- `warm`, `elegant`, `watercolor`, `fantasy-animation` — color-heavy by design, mono-ink strips their identity
## Best For
Professional visual notes, Before/After essays, tech manifestos, framework analogies, whiteboard-presentation explainers
