Decoded design system

Daytona's decoded design system: background #0A0A0A, text #ECECEE, accent #0080FF, link #FFFFFF, primary #0000EE; type scale h1 64px / h2 32px / body 16px; 8px spacing base; 0px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #0080FF — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #0080FF — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• accent, button_bg are all #0080FF — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #0080FF — THE accent / action color — interactive & must-notice only (buttons, links, focus, one key highlight); never large fills or backgrounds. Scarcity is what makes it read as designed.
• primary #0000EE — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #0080FF, not this.
• link #FFFFFF — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #0080FF).
• secondary #08213B — 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.

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#0080FF` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `accent`, `button_bg` are all `#0080FF` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#0080FF` — THE accent / action color — interactive & must-notice only (buttons, links, focus, one key highlight); never large fills or backgrounds. Scarcity is what makes it read as designed.
- **primary** `#0000EE` — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #0080FF, not this.
- **link** `#FFFFFF` — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #0080FF).

## Motion choreography (measured)
- stagger: `span` ×4 — 70ms apart
- scroll reveal: 4 elements rest at opacity 0, translateY(40px), animate in over 600ms (2 revealed during the drive).

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

## Components (measured)
- link: #999999 · no underline

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 768px · 809px · 1199px
- mobile (390px): hero 28px · 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.
