## Visual thesis

Light, left-aligned split product story with sharp geometry and image-led proof.

Chromie — The AI operating system for government contracting opens with “The AI operating system for government contracting” in a left-aligned split hero. The homepage continues through 11 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into A living map of your firm’s knowledge, Fit-scored opportunities across federal and SLED sources, Visibility into contracts before they reach the market.

## Color

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

| Token | Value | Role | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Canvas | `#f3f0ec` | Page canvas | Dominant rendered page background. |
| Surface 1 | `#ffffff` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 144. |
| Surface 2 | `#f2f0ec` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 100. |
| Surface 3 | `#e7e4de` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 24. |
| Primary text | `#1a1a19` | Primary text | Observed display foreground with 15.3:1 contrast against the captured canvas. |
| Secondary text | `#4a4844` | Secondary text | Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 8.0:1. |
| Action | `#1a1a19` | Primary action | Fill used by the dominant first-viewport action. |
| Border | `#e7e4de` | Border and divider | Most repeated inspectable border color. |

## Typography

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

| Role | Family | Size | Weight | Line height | Tracking | Style | Features | Color |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| display | Inter | 52px | 500 | 56.16px | -1.04px | normal | "cv05", "ss01" | rgb(26, 26, 25) |
| heading | Inter | 40px | 500 | 62px | -0.8px | normal | "cv05", "ss01" | rgb(26, 26, 25) |
| body | Inter | 15px | 400 | 28px | -0.084px | normal | "cv05", "ss01" | rgb(74, 72, 68) |
| body-small | Inter | 13.5px | 400 | 28px | -0.084px | normal | "cv05", "ss01" | rgb(74, 72, 68) |
| label | Inter | 12px | 400 | 18.6px | -0.084px | normal | "cv05", "ss01" | rgb(163, 160, 152) |

- Inventory: 56 images/canvas elements and 0 videos across the analyzed homepage.
- Treatment: contain fitting · square-edged frames

## Motion

12 declared keyframes and 7 active animations were inspectable at capture; observed timing uses 0.15s, 0.3s, 0.2s.

- Libraries: CSS / browser-native or bundled source not identifiable

- Interaction states: disabled, hover, transition-all, focus, active
- Reduced-motion declaration found: yes

## Responsive behavior

Measured at 390 × 844.

- Desktop navigation reduces from 8 visible actions to 2.
- Hero alignment changes from left to center; mobile heading size is 38px.
- 1 multi-column content region remains on mobile.
- Horizontal overflow: not detected

## Do

- Pair the observed #f3f0ec canvas with #1a1a19 primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
- Use Inter at 52px/56.16px, weight 500, for the primary display moment.
- Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Book a demo” within the left-aligned split 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 #1a1a19 action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
- Do not introduce extra type families beyond Inter.
- Do not copy transition-all declarations; keep only purposeful transform or opacity motion.

## Evidence

- Hero: `/captures/chromie/hero.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 0px) — Hero viewport evidence; animated text state captured.

- Closing: `/captures/chromie/closing.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 8701px) — Closing viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Mobile: `/captures/chromie/mobile.webp` (390 × 844, scroll 0px) — Mobile viewport evidence; animated text state captured.

## Confidence notes

- The hero heading was read from semantic heading markup.
- 7 responsive breakpoint declarations were inspectable.
- 6 stylesheets were inspectable; 0 cross-origin stylesheets were unavailable to rule inspection.
