inLocal inspectors are suddenly strict on foundry smoke output
Check if your warning was about visible smoke or particulate readings. Our issue last year was opacity, not just the color. They measured it with a tool, not just looking. Had to upgrade filters even though the smoke looked light gray.

inRant: Sorting my vinyl records by sleeve art sparked a poster design concept
My copy of 'Kind of Blue' has this faded blue tone that looks great next to brighter albums. I tried a similar color layering for a flyer last year, but it ended up looking like a sad ocean scene. My design skills are about as sharp as a butter knife sometimes. Still, it's neat how everyday stuff like sorting records can spark ideas. I might borrow your method for my next project, though I'll probably just make another mess.
