Decoded design system

Deepnote's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #334052, accent #146EFE, link #146EFE, primary #606F85; type scale h1 62px / h2 60px / body 16px; 4px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #146EFE — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #146EFE — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• accent, link are all #146EFE — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #146EFE — 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 #606F85 — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #146EFE, not this.
• secondary #DDE4EE — 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.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#F2F3F4` |
| border | `#E0E2E5` |
| text | `#334052` |
| text_muted | `#808893` |
| primary | `#606F85` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#146EFE` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `accent`, `link` are all `#146EFE` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#146EFE` — 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** `#606F85` — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #146EFE, not this.
- **secondary** `#DDE4EE` — 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` 90.2% · `#DBE0EF` 4.6% · `#6181B7` 4.2% · `#E7F1FD` 1%

## Typography

- Weight ladder: 400 · 500 · 600 · 700 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 9px, 10px, 12px, 16px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 128px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 8px
- button: 10px
- card: 8px
- pill: 9999px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.96)` | none | 10px | 6px 12px 6px 12px | 600 14px | rgba(15, 102, 189, 0.2) 0px -1px 0px 0px inset, rgba(161, 204, 247, 0.2) 0px 1px 0px 0px inset, rgba(57, 148, 239, 0.16) 0px 2px 4px 0px, rgba(2, 54, 105, 0.12) 0px 4px 8px 0px |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#334052` | none | 10px | 6px 12px 6px 12px | 500 14px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: box-shadow `none` · outline `3px solid rgb(211, 228, 255)`
- secondary hover: background `#F8FAFC` · color `#0A56D0`
- transition: `filter 0.2s ease`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(170, 187, 202, 0.1) 0px 2px 4px 0px, rgba(170, 187, 202, 0.1) 0px 4px 8px 0px`
- button: `rgba(15, 102, 189, 0.2) 0px -1px 0px 0px inset, rgba(161, 204, 247, 0.2) 0px 1px 0px 0px inset, rgba(57, 148, 239, 0.16) 0px 2px 4px 0px, rgba(2, 54, 105, 0.12) 0px 4px 8px 0px`
- overlay: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6) 0px 24px 60px 0px, rgba(123, 97, 255, 0.18) 0px 0px 0px 1px`

## Motion
- durations: 200ms (dominant) · 180ms · 240ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant) · `ease-out`
- animated properties: color, background-color, transform, box-shadow

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

## 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.
