Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #eeece5, #9ca3a5, #252729. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Modern Architecture, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Brutalist Architecture: Applying a rough grey surface without designing drips and water paths leaves black streaks within a few years and the building simply reads as damaged.
# - International Style: A white box alone misses the structure, free plan, industrial materials and social program, and ornament stripped without tuned proportion and detail reads as cheapness, leaving openings with no reason for their position.
