Decoded design system

Cash App's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #000000, accent #00E013, link #FFFFFF, primary #00E013; type scale h1 56px / h2 40px / body 18px; 4px spacing base; 20px 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

Using these colors

• Action color #FFFFFF — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent are all #00E013 — one role, not several (the action color).
• link, button_bg are all #FFFFFF — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #00E013 — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
• secondary #F16A2A — 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.

Motion choreography (measured)

Load order: div.three-column-grid-sectio×6 → rect → path → a.link-module-sass-module_ → img.image-module-sass-module×12 → body

Scroll reveal: 4 elements rest at translateY(75px), animate in over 200ms.

# Cash App — Design System

> light, modern, high, custom — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#EFEFEF` |
| border | `#D8D8D8` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#606060` |
| primary | `#00E013` |
| accent | `#00E013` |
| link | `#FFFFFF` |
| secondary | `#F16A2A` |
| 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.
- `primary`, `accent` are all `#00E013` — one role, not several.
- `link`, `button_bg` are all `#FFFFFF` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#00E013` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **secondary** `#F16A2A` — 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): `#00E013` 73.2% · `#FFFFFF` 15.9% · `#0C0704` 7.6% · `#33752D` 2.2%

## Typography

- Heading: **Cash Sans** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Cash Sans** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 56px / 400 · lh 53px · tracking -1.68px |
| h2 | 40px / 400 · lh 44px · tracking -1.2px |
| body | 18px / 400 · lh 25px |
| small | 16px / 400 · lh 19px · tracking -0.48px |

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

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 8px, 12px, 14px, 16px, 18px, 20px, 28px, 32px, 40px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 90px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 20px
- button: 9999px
- card: 100px
- pill: 9999px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#FFFFFF` / `#000000` | none | 9999px | 0px 20px 0px 20px | 500 12px / -0.239999px | none |
| secondary | `transparent` / `#000000` | none | 100px | — | — | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- transition: `all 0.3s ease-in-out`

## Motion
- durations: 600ms (dominant) · 300ms · 400ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant) · `ease-in-out`
- animated properties: color, transform, opacity, fill

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

## Their own tokens (verbatim from :root)

| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| `--page-width-breakpoint` | `1440px` |
| `--one-trust-banner-bottom-mobile` | `80px` |
| `--one-trust-banner-bottom-desktop` | `100px` |

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

## Layout (measured)
- container max 720px · common grid: 12-col
- nav: 46px relative

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 900 | 12 | 20 | 0/0 | — |
| 90 | 720 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 463 | 601 | 12 | 20 | 0/0 | — |
| 900 | 900 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 990 | 720 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 1800 | 900 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 1890 | 720 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 2700 | 900 | — | — | 0/0 | — |

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.three-column-grid-sectio`×6 @0ms → `rect` @137ms → `path` @137ms → `a.link-module-sass-module_` @137ms → `img.image-module-sass-module`×12 @231ms → `body` @532ms
- `img.image-module-sass-module` ×12 — opacity 0→1 — 200ms ease-in (delay 100ms)
- scroll reveal: 4 elements rest at translateY(75px), animate in over 200ms (4 revealed during the drive).

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

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 391px · 426px · 550px · 600px · 760px · 896px
- mobile (390px): hero 42px · body 16px · 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.
