Chromatic Fluxual
Chromatic Fluxual (adj. / n.)
Definition:
An orientation where attraction, tolerance for conversation, and relationship compatibility shift dynamically based on visual aesthetics, ambient colour temperature, and whether someone's outfit clashes with the surroundings.
High-Contrast / Saturated Mode:
You are vibrant, deeply engaged, drawn to boldness, and ready to take on the world alongside someone who possesses clean lines and impeccable palette coordination.
Muted / Low-Key Mode:
A sudden drop in saturation where you become completely visually exhausted. If someone approaches wearing high-vis orange, beige polyester, or uncalibrated patterns, attraction drops to an absolute zero. You require soft lighting, neutral tones, and twenty minutes of silence to reset your baseline.
The Clashing Clause:
Total romantic incompatibility triggered instantly by bad kerning, Comic Sans, or shoes that don't match the belt. It doesn't matter how charming they are; if the composition is off, the connection is broken.

The Flag:
A meticulously calibrated Pantone swatch strip. If anyone prints it in RGB instead of CMYK, they are immediately disqualified from dating you.
Examples:
"Bro, I was totally into her until she wore neon orange in a moody sage-green dining room—I'm completely chromatic fluxual right now."
"I identify as Chromatic Fluxual Aromantic—I simply don't do plaid, darling, and neither should you."
