Decoded design system

Groq's decoded design system: background #F3F3EE, text #2D2F33, accent #F43E01, link #FFFFFF, primary #F43E01; type scale h1 46px / h2 36px / body 21px; 8px spacing base; 0px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #F43E01 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #F43E01 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent, button_bg are all #F43E01 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #F43E01 — 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.
• link #FFFFFF — 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 #F55036 — 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.

# Groq — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#F3F3EE` |
| surface | `#E7E7E2` |
| border | `#D5D5D1` |
| text | `#2D2F33` |
| text_muted | `#78797A` |
| primary | `#F43E01` |
| accent | `#F43E01` |
| link | `#FFFFFF` |
| secondary | `#F55036` |
| button_bg | `#F43E01` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#F43E01` — 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`, `button_bg` are all `#F43E01` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#F43E01` — 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.
- **link** `#FFFFFF` — 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** `#F55036` — 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): `#F3F3EE` 67.7% · `#47403C` 20% · `#95412B` 8.1% · `#A99D93` 4.1%

## Typography

- Heading: **Space Grotesk**
- Body: **Space Grotesk**
- Mono: **IBM Plex Mono**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 46px / 300 · lh 60px · tracking -0.92px |
| h2 | 36px / 300 · lh 47px · tracking -0.72px |
| h3 | 32px / 300 · lh 42px · tracking -0.64px |
| body | 21px / 400 · lh 29px |
| small | 19px / 400 · lh 25px · tracking -0.38px |
| eyebrow | 12px / 500 · tracking 1.2px |

- Weight ladder: 300 · 400 · 500 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 5px, 10px, 12px, 14px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 48px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 80px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 0px
- button: 9999px
- card: 5px
- pill: 9999px
- sharp: 3px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#F43E01` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 9999px | 10px 16px 10px 16px | 400 15px | none |
| secondary | `#F3F3EE` / `#2D2F33` | none | 0px | — | — | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: outline `3px solid rgb(244, 62, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(1, 1, 63, 0.1) 0px 2px 19px -4px`

## Motion
- durations: 250ms (dominant) · 500ms · 900ms
- easings: `ease-in-out` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.68, -0.55, 0.27, 1.55)`
- animated properties: transform, background-size, opacity, color

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

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `ul.LogoMarquee_logos__U6p7Y`×2 @0ms → `div.Testimonials_testimonial` @0ms → `div.textLockup` @480ms → `div.textLockup` @480ms → `article`×2 @480ms → `article`×2 @480ms
- `div.Testimonials_testimonial` — transform translateX(0px)→translateX(-50%) — 30000ms · loops
- scroll reveal: 9 elements rest at opacity 0, translateY(16px), animate in over 0.5s linear (9 revealed during the drive).

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

## Components (measured)
- link: #2D2F33 · no underline

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 375px · 480px · 600px · 960px · 1080px · 1280px
- mobile (390px): hero 26px · body 14px · 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.
