Decoded design system

Kpmg's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #000000, accent #1E49E2, link #1E49E2, primary #1E49E2; type scale h1 48px / h2 32px / body 16px; 8px spacing base; 32px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #005EB8 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #005EB8 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent, link are all #1E49E2 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #1E49E2 — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
• secondary #0C233C — 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.

# Kpmg — Design System

> light, professional, medium, custom — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#EFEFEF` |
| border | `#D8D8D8` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#606060` |
| primary | `#1E49E2` |
| accent | `#1E49E2` |
| link | `#1E49E2` |
| secondary | `#0C233C` |
| button_bg | `#005EB8` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#005EB8` — 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`, `link` are all `#1E49E2` — one role, not several.
- **accent** `#1E49E2` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **secondary** `#0C233C` — 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` 29% · `#6D7B8A` 26% · `#13327E` 19.2% · `#152857` 16.7%

## Typography

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

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 48px / 700 · lh 56px |
| h2 | 32px / 600 · lh 44px |
| h3 | 24px / 600 · lh 32px |
| body | 16px / 400 · lh 24px · tracking 0.44px |
| small | 14px / 400 · lh 20px · tracking 0.44px |

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

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 8px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 29px, 32px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 32px
- button: 2px
- card: 32px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#005EB8` / `#FFFFFF` | 1px solid rgb(0, 94, 184) | 2px | 12px 10px 12px 10px | 600 13.008px / 0.13008px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#1E49E2` | none | 32px | 12px 0px 12px 0px | 600 16px / 0.44px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: outline `3px solid rgb(12, 35, 60)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 18px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 300ms (dominant) · 500ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant) · `linear`

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 |

_…and 108 more measured on the page._

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

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1270px
- nav: 32px

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1528 | 475 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 2004 | 926 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 2929 | 424 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 3353 | 538 | — | — | 0/0 | — |

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `nav.cmp-main-nav` @0ms → `div.otFlat` @310ms
- overlay dialog (auto-opened): panel #FFFFFF · r 0px

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

## Components (measured)
- link: #1E49E2 · no underline — hover #00338D

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 425px · 550px · 640px · 768px · 896px · 1024px
- mobile (390px): hero 40px · body 16px · 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.
