Decoded design system

Graphite's decoded design system: background #0A0A0A, text #FAFAFA, accent #FF8833, link #0C1823, primary #FF8833; type scale h1 60px / h2 36px / body 16px; 8px spacing base; 12px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #E5E5E5 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #E5E5E5 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent are all #FF8833 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #FF8833 — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
• link #0C1823 — fails contrast on the background (~1.1:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).
• secondary #586069 — 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.

# Graphite — Design System

> dark, modern, medium, tailwind — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#0A0A0A` |
| surface | `#181818` |
| border | `#2E2E2E` |
| text | `#FAFAFA` |
| text_muted | `#9E9E9E` |
| primary | `#FF8833` |
| accent | `#FF8833` |
| link | `#0C1823` |
| secondary | `#586069` |
| button_bg | `#E5E5E5` |
| button_text | `#171717` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#E5E5E5` — 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 `#FF8833` — one role, not several.
- **accent** `#FF8833` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **link** `#0C1823` — fails contrast on the background (~1.1:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).
- **secondary** `#586069` — 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): `#0A0A0A` 72.4% · `#1A1A1B` 14.5% · `#B4B4B4` 6.8% · `#3A3A3C` 6.2%

## Typography

- Heading: **Matter** _(free fallback: Inter)_
- Body: **Matter** _(free fallback: Inter)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 60px / 500 · lh 60px · tracking -1.5px |
| h2 | 36px / 500 · lh 40px |
| h3 | 24px / 600 · lh 28px |
| body | 16px / 400 · lh 24px |
| small | 14px / 500 · lh 20px |

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

> **Fonts —** Matter is proprietary — closest free match: Inter (Google). Load Inter; keep Matter first so licensed users still get it.

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 3px, 8px, 12px, 14px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 48px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 120px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 12px
- button: 8px
- card: 10px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `lab(15.204 0 -0.00000596046)` / `lab(98.26 0 0)` | 1px solid lab(27.036 0 0) | 8px | 0px 32px 0px 32px | 500 14px | rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 3px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 2px -1px |
| secondary | `lab(90.952 0 -0.0000119209)` / `lab(7.78201 -0.0000149012 0)` | none | 8px | 8px 16px 8px 16px | 500 14px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `oklab(0.268999 -0.00000260025 0.00000627339 / 0.8)`
- secondary hover: background `oklab(0.921998 -0.00000908971 0.0000215769 / 0.9)`
- transition: `color 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) 0px 8px 10px 0px`
- button: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 3px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 2px -1px`

## Motion
- durations: 300ms (dominant) · 200ms · 150ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant) · `ease-in-out`
- animated properties: transform, color, opacity, background-color

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.
