Orange
CurrentThe Brief accent. Highest energy of the four — but orange reads as down, loss, alert in every trading platform your buyer already uses, and the flooded price band turns that into a warning banner.

Flip Point Trading · Palette study
Four accents for Voltage.
Identical layout, type and copy in all four — only the palette moves, so this is a colour decision and nothing else. Each also exists for 05 Complete.
Every combination clears WCAG AA: body and muted text against the ground, the accent against the ground, and the dark text that sits on the flooded price band.
Brass
RecommendedWarm gold on a warmer near-black. Sits outside the profit-and-loss colour language entirely, inherits the amber-on-black credibility of professional market data without becoming a cockpit, and ties to Gold as the anchor market.

Bone
Most restrainedNo chromatic accent at all. Emphasis comes from the inversion — the price band floods bone and the artifact card carries the only real weight. Nothing on the page can be read as a directional signal, because there is no colour to read.
Ground #0e0e0dAccent #f7f4ec
Violet
Most modernA cool ground with an electric accent. Reads contemporary-software rather than market-data, and carries no directional meaning. The risk is the opposite of orange’s: it can read as a consumer app rather than a paid research product.

Whichever wins replaces the accent in 04 and 05 rather than joining the set as a sixth direction. Orange stays the signature of 01 Decision Brief either way, so the concepts remain visually distinct from one another. The light treatments at voltage-light and voltage-full-light are still on the orange accent — they follow whichever palette you pick.
