# Carbon Design System × Elastic UI — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=carbon-design-system+elastic-ui
# Carbon Design System carries the structure and Elastic UI appears as the accent.
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images that take their structure from Carbon Design System (style, 2015–) and their accent from Elastic UI (style, 2017–).

## What to make

Make the kind of thing Carbon Design System exists for: enterprise software with many states and permissions, or keeping analytics, operations and forms coherent across products. Choose one subject and hold it across all four.

## Structure comes from Carbon Design System

- IBM Plex and strong type hierarchy
- White or deep-gray work surfaces
- Dense tables, filters and side navigation
- Blue reserved for action and focus

Composition: Anchor dense modules to a 2x grid and keep navigation, work and detail zones distinct. Type and lettering: Use IBM Plex with compact labels and a clearly stepped hierarchy.

## Accent comes from Elastic UI, used sparingly

- Fixed header and left navigation
- Persistent query, filter and time controls
- Tables and time-series charts in shared panels
- Bright series colors limited to data

Let one material quality come from it: Layer neutral surfaces, reserve blue for interaction and bright hues for data series.

## Colour and feeling

Build the ground on #F4F4F4, carry the structure in #0F62FE and #161616, and let a single accent come from #00BFB3. These are read off real works, so a direction rather than a fixed palette.
Feeling to carry: technique, trust, calm, exhilaration.

## Where they fight

- Carbon Design System and Elastic UI both belong to Platform Screen Languages, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

## What goes wrong

- Carbon Design System: Plex and blue do not make a product Carbon. Density, states and grid behavior must follow the same system.
- Elastic UI: More charts do not create more insight. Remove any panel or series that does not answer the current question.

## Across the four

Keep the roles fixed in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows what this pairing can do rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period languages described above.
