Frame vs TradingView
Frame runs a dark-canvas system while TradingView chose light, and they pair different display families (Times New Roman vs -apple-system). Beyond surface, motion divides them — Frame is expressive, TradingView is subtle.

Palette & spacing overlap
Palette overlap is zero — Frame and TradingView live in completely different chromatic registers, even when their layout grids feel adjacent. Their spacing scales overlap by 75% (4, 6, 8, 12, 16 px shared) — a rhythm any agent can transfer between the two systems with minimal recalibration.
Curator verdict
Pick a side. Mixing Frame's dark-first canvas with TradingView's subtle motion vocabulary produces visual whiplash. Adopt one system as your primary, study the other for individual technique transfers (e.g. Frame's spacing, TradingView's shadow).
