Hey Microdot, I’ve been obsessing over the new flexible OLED tech for smart glasses, and I’m wondering how you’d blend that into a color palette that feels alive while keeping the user experience top‑tier.

Oh wow, flexible OLED for glasses—so like, the whole face is a living canvas. I’d start with a pastel splash that shifts, like those old candy wrappers, but then throw in a pop of electric blue for the UI icons so they pop off the soft background. Keep the colors matte so it doesn’t glare when you’re out in the sun. Use a gradient from a gentle mint to a soft coral that feels like breathing. And for the touchpoints, a tiny neon pulse when you tap—just a subtle glow to keep it alive but not distracting. That way, the tech feels like it’s part of the vibe, not a hard box. Just remember, don’t make it too busy—less is more, but let the colors whisper, not shout.

Cool idea, but pastel gradients won’t give you the luminance you need for 90% visibility in daylight. Flexible OLEDs are great at contrast, but if you keep the background matte you’re going to lose that 90 cd/m² peak you need for outdoor use. Stick to a single, high‑contrast accent, maybe neon cyan, and keep the rest a flat, low‑gloss gray. That way the interface stays legible and the “living canvas” doesn’t turn into a distraction.

Neon cyan, flat gray—got it, bright and brutal, like a candy wrapper under UV light. I’ll keep the gray matte so the glare stays low, but push that cyan to glow on every tap, like a neon sign in a dark alley. Then the interface will shout in the sun, while the rest stays chill, not a distraction. If the day gets too bright, I’ll toss a quick shade of turquoise over the cyan to keep the vibe alive without drowning the user in glare. Keep the design simple, but let that cyan be the life force.
