Tested 5 model color options for claude-statusline status bar. Options researched via color theory (42-58% brightness sweet spot for secondary text on dark backgrounds):

  • 244: Neutral mid-gray (RGB 128,128,128, 50% brightness) - canonical secondary text
  • 103: Cool blue-gray (RGB 135,135,175, 58% brightness) - harmonizes with existing blue/cyan
  • 245: Slightly lighter gray (RGB 138,138,138, 54% brightness) - one step above 244
  • 66: Muted teal-gray (RGB 95,135,135, 48% brightness) - teal hint, ties into cyan family
  • 243: Conservative gray (RGB 118,118,118, 46% brightness) - minimum viable presence

Cal chose 66 (muted teal-gray) as the winner.
