Stink Studios. The projector hums, the room is black, only the reel glows.

Stink Studios operates as a cinematic canvas: a near-monochrome world where black absorbs everything except the work, and typography carries every structural decision. The visual language is deliberately austere — no UI chrome, no decorative gradients on controls, no colored buttons pulling attention from the reels. Instead, a film-studio hero (blue-lit, full-bleed) establishes the world, large confident headlines in negative-tracked Helvetica and Times New Roman do the talking, and warmth arrives only through the work itself. The system is built for an AI agent to produce gallery-like pages where large type and full-bleed media do the heavy lifting, and every interactive element recedes into a flat black plane.

Accent2

  • Accent warmth for marquee display moments, logo gradient highlight, and select project card color treatments — borrowed from the work, never applied to UI chrome

  • Deep warm surface for warm-toned project cards and content imagery containers — the shadow side of the coral accent

Neutrals3

  • Neutral form states, badge text, and quiet UI feedback where color should stay understated. Do not promote it to the primary CTA color

  • Subtle tonal break from pure black for nested surfaces and hairline borders that need to feel present without breaking the dark mode

  • Primary text, heading strokes, nav links, icon strokes, badge fills, logo type — the only high-contrast value in the system
