Fill used by the dominant first-viewport action.
Border

Border and divider

Most repeated inspectable border color.

Typography

A single-family system uses Euclid across display and reading roles, differentiated by size and weight.

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.

Reproduction guidance

Do

  • Pair the observed #90ab83 canvas with #11160f primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
  • Use Euclid at 72px/79.2px, weight 700, for the primary display moment.
  • Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “See it on your own site” within the left-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 #11160f action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
  • Do not introduce extra type families beyond Euclid.
  • Do not copy transition-all declarations; keep only purposeful transform or opacity motion.
