Color system

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

Canvas

Page canvas

Dominant rendered page background.
Surface 1

Surface

Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 11.
Surface 2

Surface

Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 1.
Surface 3

Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 1.
Primary text

Primary text

Observed display foreground; its canvas-reference contrast is 1.8:1 and may rely on a local hero surface.
Secondary text

Secondary text

Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 9.5:1.
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 Fraunces to display text; Inter to body, 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.

Reproduction guidance

Do

  • Pair the observed #064f1d canvas with #17190f primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
  • Use Fraunces at 54.4px/55.488px, weight 500, for the primary display moment.
  • Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Join waitlist” 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; 50px is the repeated treatment on pills.
  • Do not reuse the #e8632b action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
  • Do not introduce extra type families beyond Fraunces and Inter.
  • Do not spread the observed shadow treatment across every container; keep elevation selective.
