Palette & spacing overlap
Palette overlap is zero — Dub and Lovable live in completely different chromatic registers, even when their layout grids feel adjacent. Their spacing scales overlap by 83% (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 px shared) — a rhythm any agent can transfer between the two systems with minimal recalibration.
Curator verdict
Pick a side. Mixing Dub's light-first canvas with Lovable's moderate motion vocabulary produces visual whiplash. Adopt one system as your primary, study the other for individual technique transfers (e.g. Dub's spacing, Lovable's shadow).
