The hero's right half is a working departure board framed in a thin gold deco border: six stops from Paris to Venezia Santa Lucia with real times down a gold route line, and notes that admit what a timetable never would ('04:47 Brig - you will be asleep'). Below, the punctuality section publishes the worst night of the season, storm at Brig included.
Getty: Resources for Visual Art and Cultural Heritage - The decisive reference in the returned pair: warm antique serif floating on a dark, hushed ground. Its register - elegant, institutional, unhurried - became the DM Serif Display on deep navy, with gold doing the work its ochre does.
Brand Appart – Design studio for bold startups - The other returned exemplar. Its stark restraint on an near-empty field argued against decorating the fold; the page keeps one headline, one route board, and air.

Returned a Specimen pick with two exemplars bracketing the register: Getty's warm serif-on-dark and Brand Appart's restraint. The route board as the hero's single specimen object follows directly from that pick.
--navy#0b1626Night-sky navy ground; dark with blue depth rather than neutral black, so the gold reads as lamplight.--gold#c9a35cBrass gold on the CTA, the route line and the deco double border around the departure board. The one metallic note, used the way Getty uses ochre.--gold-2#e3c98fLit gold for the italic headline phrase, times on the board and hover states; the same metal catching light.--cream#f0e9dbWarm cream for the serif display and body, never pure white against the navy.--muted#8fa0b8Blue-grey for stop notes, captions and the punctuality table's second column.--panel#152741Raised navy for the cabin cards, one step off the ground.
