Five 30 August runs that share one linked image and a wet-stroke look target show five different palettes, matching the palette each prompt states.

Five Seedance 2.5 runs of 30 August 2026 (UTC) use the same linked image and the same look target (a wet-stroke hero look), with a different scene and stated palette in each prompt. H01 viewed 12 timestamped frames of each.

Seen in the sampled frames: the palettes are red on black (a drowning stair), violet on black (black coils), white and gold (a reliquary hall), glacier blue and gold (an ice-cutting floor) and brown and deep red (a riverbed). Each follows the prompt's stated palette rather than a single palette. At this size the frames read as glossy renders with few visible brush marks in three of the five.

Caution: five single runs (no seed set); the linked image has an unconfirmed disclosure and rights basis and is not described or reproduced.

Reading: with one reference image, the palette that the prompt states wins over the reference in these runs; this describes these five runs, not a rule.

These are retrospective observations of founder tests, not a benchmark or product validation. Audio was not listened to.
