The part of a route that the user does not compose (a mirrored return leg, the return home) drew every hop as the same dark slate chip. Each faded chip now has the colours of its own node at FADE_CHROMA of their chroma, at the same lightness, so it still says which node it is. The PicoCalc has no colour of less chroma: there a faded hop keeps its label colour and drops its fill. Arrows keep faint. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
