Decoded design system

Ashby's decoded design system: background #FCFCFE, text #717075, accent #1863DC, link #000000, primary #1863DC; type scale h1 72px / h2 44px / body 20px; 8px spacing base; 2px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #FCFCFE — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #FCFCFE — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent are all #1863DC — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #1863DC — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
• link #000000 — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #FCFCFE).
• secondary #473BCE — optional secondary accent — LOW decode confidence; use rarely (a status color or a single decorative moment) or omit it entirely. Prefer one accent unless the reference clearly shows two.

# Ashby — Design System

> light, professional, medium, custom — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FCFCFE` |
| surface | `#F3F3F5` |
| border | `#E7E7E9` |
| text | `#717075` |
| text_muted | `#A5A5A9` |
| primary | `#1863DC` |
| accent | `#1863DC` |
| link | `#000000` |
| secondary | `#473BCE` |
| button_bg | `#FCFCFE` |
| button_text | `#FCFCFE` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#FCFCFE` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `primary`, `accent` are all `#1863DC` — one role, not several.
- **accent** `#1863DC` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **link** `#000000` — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #FCFCFE).
- **secondary** `#473BCE` — optional secondary accent — LOW decode confidence; use rarely (a status color or a single decorative moment) or omit it entirely. Prefer one accent unless the reference clearly shows two.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#FCFCFE` 89.5% · `#756FA1` 5.6% · `#E9E9EC` 4.9%

## Typography

- Heading: **TTNormsPro** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **TTNormsPro** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 72px / 575 · lh 79px · tracking -2.88px |
| h2 | 44px / 575 · lh 48px · tracking -1.1px |
| h3 | 36px / 575 · lh 45px · tracking -0.9px |
| body | 20px / 500 · lh 30px · tracking -0.16px |
| small | 18px / 600 · lh 24px |

- Weight ladder: 400 · 500 · 545 · 575 · 600 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

> **Fonts —** TTNormsPro may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts).

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 48px, 64px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 64px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 2px
- button: 6px
- card: 6px
- pill: 9999px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#FCFCFE` | 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) | 6px | 1px 16px 1px 16px | 545 16px / -0.128px | rgba(20, 20, 21, 0.16) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2) 0px 1px 2px 0px inset |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#473BCE` | none | 6px | 0px 0px 0px 0px | 500 16px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#473BCE`
- primary focus: outline `2px solid rgb(63, 52, 188)`
- transition: `transform 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- subtle: `rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 0px 0px 4.5px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 0px 0px 5.5px`
- card: `rgba(172, 171, 171, 0.3) 0px -1px 10px 0px`
- button: `rgba(20, 20, 21, 0.16) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2) 0px 1px 2px 0px inset`

## Motion
- durations: 120ms (dominant) · 150ms · 200ms
- easings: `ease-out` (dominant) · `ease`
- animated properties: opacity, background-color, filter, transform

Micro-interactions use the dominant duration + easing; nothing on the page animates slower than the longest duration above — don't invent springier motion.

Prefer these names when extending their system — it's the brand's actual vocabulary.

## Layout (measured)

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.c-hyTftA` @0ms
- scroll reveal: 4 elements rest at opacity 0, animate in over 0.5s ease (0 revealed during the drive).
- overlay dialog (auto-opened): panel #FFFFFF · r 6px

Rebuild the timeline, not just the durations — order, delays and staggers above are the choreography.

## Components (measured)
- input: h 44px · r 6px · border 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 220) · bg #FFFFFF · placeholder #9C9CA0
  - focus ring: `rgb(225, 222, 252) 0px 0px 0px 3px` — this exact construction, don't invent your own

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 576px · 640px · 826px · 930px · 960px · 1080px
- mobile (390px): hero 46px · body 12px · nav: inline

## How to apply
Paste the Tailwind `@theme` (or CSS variables) as your base, then build each
section to its spec — verify every color, radius, and font against these tokens.
Hover/focus states, shadows and motion timings above are measured from the live page — match them exactly, don't re-guess them.
