Flora vs Realm

Flora runs a both-canvas system while Realm chose light, and they pair different display families (sans-serif vs Inter). Beyond surface, motion levels are both moderate.

Palette & spacing overlap

Palette overlap is zero — Flora and Realm live in completely different chromatic registers, even when their layout grids feel adjacent. Their spacing scales overlap by 75% (4, 8, 10, 12, 16 px shared) — a rhythm any agent can transfer between the two systems with minimal recalibration.

Curator verdict

Pick a side. Mixing Flora's both-first canvas with Realm's moderate motion vocabulary produces visual whiplash. Adopt one system as your primary, study the other for individual technique transfers (e.g. Flora's spacing, Realm's shadow).
