A colour should take you back somewhere.
Why a palette is more interesting when you can trace it to the piece that stopped you in the street.
Inside the build · concepts and current progressSometimes it’s a combination you remember: a dirty purple next to a cold grey, or a bright fill held together by one quiet outline. A palette card should bring that moment back, not just give you six anonymous squares.
That is why the original artwork belongs behind the collection. The photograph explains where the colours came from. The card gives you a reason to keep looking at it.
A swatch needs a source.
The colour studies on this website use exact RGB pixels from the supplied photographs. Tap a swatch on the game page and you can inspect its location in the uncropped image. That is a traceable website demonstration, not an announcement that automatic in-app palette extraction is finished.
A photograph also includes lighting, camera processing and the screen you view it on. A sampled HEX value is a colour in that digital image. It should not be presented as a verified commercial spray-paint formula or a guaranteed match to a can.
What are you actually collecting?
The direction is a collection of places and effort: captures, photo-linked palettes, relics and the letters missing from your set. Some discoveries should stand alone. Others can move a mission forward. The reward animation celebrates the result; it should never decide whether the submission was valid.
Collectible cards do not need an investment story to mean something. In-game XP and $SPRAY are progression, not a claim that the balance can be withdrawn. Optional digital-ownership ideas remain future discussion, not something visitors need to buy into to understand the game.
A pin is an invitation to look, not permission to paint.
A mural, a paint store and a practice wall need different descriptions. Artists deserve credit, location details need review, and the person who can approve painting may not be the person who uploaded a photograph.
For a concrete example, the City of Gold Coast describes a trial of two freestanding practice walls at Arthur Earle Park in Nerang. Its guidance limits painting to those walls and notes that access can change. Check the council’s current page and on-site conditions before a visit. That reference does not make every pictured surface a legal painting spot.
Notice the work
A photograph records a particular piece at a particular time. Keeping that source alongside the card gives the colours their context.
