Color system

Dark surfaces use 8 repeated semantic colors; the primary action carries the strongest interactive emphasis.

Canvas

Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 385.
Surface 2

Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 103.
Surface 3

Primary text

Primary text

Observed display foreground with 6.2:1 contrast against the captured canvas.
Secondary text

Secondary text

Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 21.0:1.
Action

Primary action

Fill used by the dominant first-viewport action.
Border

Border and divider

Most repeated inspectable border color.

Typography

The observed type system assigns Inter to heading, body text; DM Mono to label text.

Metric previews use the observed CSS values. Source font files are not bundled, so unavailable families fall back locally.

Imagery, motion & responsive

Imagery

Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

Composition
Multiple visual elements share the first viewport.
Inventory

Motion

7 declared keyframes and 11 active animations were inspectable at capture; observed timing uses 2.2s, 0.2s, 0.3s.

Reproduction guidance

Do

  • Pair the observed #000000 canvas with #8b8b8b primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
  • Preserve the first viewport’s existing display-to-body scale contrast.
  • Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Try open source · no install” within the center-aligned visual-led hero.
  • Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

Don’t

  • Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 9999px is the repeated treatment on pills.
  • Do not reuse the #000000 action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
  • Do not introduce extra type families beyond Inter and DM Mono.
  • Do not copy transition-all declarations; keep only purposeful transform or opacity motion.
