Color: build on #f0dfb5, #de5d3c, #3d83a6 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. 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
# - Googie and Sign Painting share no intent, so the contrast has to become the subject rather than something to smooth over.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Googie: This is commercial architecture exaggerated for car culture and visibility, not a pile of space-age motifs, and copying the shapes while underlighting the night leaves it loud by day and dark after dark.
# - Sign Painting: Adding wobble afterwards as an effect kills the tension of the single pass, and the sign reads as a stretched handwriting font.
