evolutionary signal: fading light, reduced activity, seasonal change, introspection
properties
- low arousal, low energy — induces contemplation and withdrawal
- the color of dusk, the transition into darkness
- historically the most expensive dye — extracted from Indigofera plants
in nature
- twilight sky: the signal that activity must cease, predators emerge

in prysm
- inactivity, declining metrics, dormancy, deprecated content
- the quiet signal — something fading, needs gentle attention
