Baseten's design system, decoded live by Mozaika: measured color roles, type scale, buttons with real hover/focus states, motion and the brand's own tokens.

Decoded design system

Baseten's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #000000, accent #19E76E, link #FFFFFF, primary #8999AC; type scale h1 300px / h2 88px / body 16px; 8px spacing base; 4px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #FFFFFF — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#FFFFFF`
surface	`#EFEFEF`
border	`#D8D8D8`
text	`#000000`
text_muted	`#606060`
primary	`#8999AC`
accent	`#19E76E`
link	`#FFFFFF`
secondary	`#425366`
button_bg	`#FFFFFF`
button_text	`#000000`

Using these colors

Action color #FFFFFF — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
link, button_bg are all #FFFFFF — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #19E76E — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
primary #8999AC — a neutral UI color (chips, tags, icon fills, chrome), not the action color (action = #FFFFFF).
secondary #425366 — 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.

# Baseten — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#EFEFEF` |
| border | `#D8D8D8` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#606060` |
| primary | `#8999AC` |
| accent | `#19E76E` |
| link | `#FFFFFF` |
| secondary | `#425366` |
| button_bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| button_text | `#000000` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#FFFFFF` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `link`, `button_bg` are all `#FFFFFF` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#19E76E` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **primary** `#8999AC` — a neutral UI color (chips, tags, icon fills, chrome), not the action color (action = #FFFFFF).
- **secondary** `#425366` — 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): `#FFFFFF` 85.2% · `#19E76E` 4.8% · `#353636` 3.2% · `#7AAC91` 2.7%

## Typography

- Heading: **Chivo Mono** _(free fallback: JetBrains Mono)_
- Body: **Chivo Mono** _(free fallback: JetBrains Mono)_
- Mono: **Chivo Mono**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 300px / 400 · lh 450px |
| h2 | 88px / 600 · lh 80px · tracking -1.76px |
| h3 | 64px / 600 · lh 70px · tracking -1.92px |
| body | 16px / 400 · lh 24px |
| small | 14px / 400 · lh 18px · tracking -0.28px |

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

> **Fonts —** Chivo Mono may be proprietary — safe free fallback: JetBrains Mono (Google Fonts).

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 7px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 28px, 32px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 64px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 4px
- button: 0px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#FFFFFF` / `#000000` | none | 0px | 0px 0px 0px 0px | 400 16px | none |
| secondary | `#000000` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 0px | 0px 0px 0px 0px | 400 16px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: outline `1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0)`
- primary focus: outline `1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0)`
- secondary hover: color `#000000` · outline `1px solid rgb(25, 231, 110)`
- transition: `all 0.236s cubic-bezier(0.5, 0.2, 0.4, 1)`

## Motion
- durations: 236ms (dominant) · 75ms · 500ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.5, 0.2, 0.4, 1)`
- animated properties: color, background-color, border-color, text-decoration-color

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

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1260px · common grid: 12-col
- nav: 38px

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 127 | 500 | 12 | 24 | 0/0 | — |
| 627 | 334 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 960 | 165 | 3 | — | 0/0 | 17/50/33 |
| 1125 | 1424 | — | — | 64/0 | — |
| 2549 | 1620 | 12 | 24 | 0/0 | — |
| 4169 | 1070 | — | — | 0/48 | — |

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `h1.font-neue` @0ms → `svg.animate-pulse` @1ms → `div.lines_grid-line__N9SvZ`×6 @561ms → `div.lines_grid-line__N9SvZ`×6 @569ms → `a.block`×16 @940ms → `a.block`×2 @940ms
- `h1.font-neue` — opacity 0→1 · transform none→translateY(0px) — 800ms ease
- `svg.animate-pulse` — opacity 1→1 — 2000ms cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.6, 1) · loops
- scroll reveal: 9 elements rest at opacity 0, translateY(14px), animate in over 800ms (3 revealed during the drive).

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

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 576px · 640px · 768px · 992px · 1024px · 1199px
- mobile (390px): hero 60px · body 16px · nav: hamburger

## 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.
