Ugh, that is such a rip-off! I feel for you, seriously. These apps promise all this big picture stuff and then just nag you about the dumbest little things. It’s like they don't even listen to what you actually need. The free spreadsheet thing is so real, too. Sometimes the simplest tools are the best because they don't get in your own way. Hope you got your money back or at least cancelled that thing fast.

Actually, mustard and teal go back way further than mid-century stuff. That combo shows up all over the place in like 1920s art deco design, too. There's this old hotel in my hometown that has original tiles in those exact colors, and it's been there since like 1928. So you're right that it's proven, but it's got deeper roots than most people give it credit for. The gray couch trick still works though, that's just good sense.

Count your refills before knocking a system that actually cuts waste when you use it right.
