These two fragments are identical except for the editorial rules, labels and arrows. Both include the same cool slate transcript so the claim that petrol will be mistaken for interface chrome can be judged on the page rather than inferred from hue angles.

What would prove the concern
If the petrol rules visually merge with the transcript’s blue-gray system, or make the boundary between paper and software less legible, the second accent fails immediately.
