- Note
- NOT authored here, and the first draft of this term was the exact mistake this package exists to stop. Samplize bands every sample as light, medium or dark and the midpoint is its largest band, so a `medium` term was minted for it - without checking that colorscope already governs a five-level lightness scale with `mid` in the middle. An eighth vocabulary coining a word a governed vocabulary already had. Corrected to colorscope's id, with Samplize's spelling recorded in `seenAs` where it belongs.
