Colours

Love You Bye's colour palette is deliberately restrained. Tender, not loud. Green is a signal colour, not a dominant colour.

Auckland Service Palette Audit

Love You Bye now treats Auckland's kerbside service colours as the source structure for waste streams. Exact digital swatches are only adopted when the official source supports them. Until then, the taxonomy records the service and the provenance without inventing a false spec.

Auckland Rubbish

No official digital swatch gathered yet.

auckland-rubbish

General waste and landfill-aligned categories.

Auckland Council's public guidance describes the rubbish bin as a green bin with a red lid, but no reusable digital swatch is published in the source set gathered so far.

Auckland Recycling

No official digital swatch gathered yet.

auckland-recycling

Paper, cardboard, plastics 1/2/5, glass bottles and jars, metal packaging.

Auckland Council public guidance describes recycling collection using green bins with yellow lids, with some areas still using blue bins with yellow lids. Exact reusable digital swatches are still uncollected.

Auckland Food Scraps

No official digital swatch gathered yet.

auckland-food-scraps

Food scraps and organics-aligned categories.

Auckland Council publishes the food scraps service and imagery, but the current official source set does not expose a digital swatch specification suitable for direct token adoption.

Auckland Reuse and Drop-off

No official digital swatch gathered yet.

auckland-reuse-dropoff

Reuse, specialist drop-off, e-waste, and hazardous streams.

Auckland Council distinguishes these services operationally, but the gathered public sources do not yet provide a stable visual token set equivalent to kerbside bin colours.

Auckland Deposit Return

No official digital swatch gathered yet.

auckland-deposit-return

Deposit-return and separate collection schemes.

This stream is retained in the canonical model because the Norwegian pack treats it as a parallel delivery mode, but an Auckland-specific visual token still needs confirmation.
