Low contrast leaves nothing to hide behind
The problem
A 1 mm variation in a shadow gap that walnut would swallow is plainly visible on white and pale oak.
What ELS does
Tighten the setting-out tolerance before the palette is signed off, not after the doors arrive.
Why it works
Pale, low-contrast schemes carry no visual noise to absorb error. The palette decision is a tolerance decision.
