PNG Highlands *bilas* is the sing-sing regalia of the Melpa, Chimbu and Jiwaka peoples of Papua New Guinea: faces painted in bright red and yellow stripes from local dyes mixed with oil, charcoal black, and crushed-seashell white, crowned with iridescent bird-of-paradise plumes.

This design system carries that vocabulary to screen — saturated ochre and crimson bands striped over a dark skin-and-face ground, never a light surface, lit up by matte high-chroma color and framed by radiating feather fans.
