Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:30 in the morning
Deliberately mid-morning, while the rooms are full, loud and part-way through something. We do not tour on a quiet afternoon, because a quiet afternoon tells you nothing.

Six palettes
Every palette was measured against both themes before it was offered here. None of them is corrected at runtime to make it pass — a palette that could not pass was not shipped.
The licence block, the ratio tables, the allergy and medication summary and the authorised-pickup notice do not move. Not under any palette, and not in either theme.

Text size
Motion
Your device’s reduce-motion setting is the default. “Still” stops the dust field, the parallax and every scroll-driven animation on the site, not just the decoration.
These controls change the page you are reading. They are not a conformance claim: this demonstration has not been through a WCAG audit, and saying otherwise would be the same kind of unverifiable badge the rest of this site refuses to print.
This site has no analytics, no advertising pixel, no third-party script and no map embed. The only thing it would ever put in your browser is what you choose here — theme, palette and reading settings — under meadow.brand.v1, meadow.reading.v1and meadow.storage.v1. Nothing is written until you answer this.
Both buttons are one click and neither is pre-selected. Escape does the same as “Store nothing”. If you store nothing, your choices still work — they just last until you close the tab.
Studio mode
Colour seeds
A seed lends its hue and its chroma. It never lends lightness, so the site keeps its own tonal structure — and its contrast — whatever you pick.

What will not move
The licence block, the ratio and group-size tables, the allergy and medication summary, the authorised-pickup notice and the demo disclaimer paint from a separate set of properties that this panel refuses, at runtime, to write. Safety and licensing information is not a styling choice.
