Quick Reference — Guard Mode

Python figures:

from paper_palette import apply_theme, get_colormap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.style.use("academic.mplstyle")
theme = apply_theme()  # reads DEFAULT_THEME
plt.plot(x, y, color=theme["primary"])
plt.imshow(data, cmap=get_colormap())

LaTeX tables:

• Ranking: \fst{val} / \snd{val} / \trd{val}
• Heatmap cells: \cellcolor{perf30} through \cellcolor{perf80}
• Emphasis: \textcolor{accent_primary}{text}

Theme switch (guard mode): update \themename in colors.tex + DEFAULT_THEME in paper_palette.py atomically.
