# Visual Palette

Status: **Stub** — reference art direction workshop output for current guidance.

See `docs/workshops/art-direction-mood-board/` for the established visual identity.

## Key Decisions

- **Camera angle:** 15-20deg from vertical ("the angle"), rendered via orthographic Camera3D at -72.5deg from horizontal (D-019)
- **Entity colors:** Relationship-based per D-033 (green = known/friendly, amber = neutral, red = hostile, etc.)
- **Environmental neutrality:** Spaces don't visually shift with narrative state (D-045)
- **Functional warmth:** Industrial infrastructure that people made livable — not military, not luxury
