Decoded design system

Linklowdown's decoded design system: background #FAFCFE, text #1B1E23, accent #1B1E23, link #000000, primary #000000; type scale h1 16px / h2 14px / body 12px; 4px spacing base; 0px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #1B1E23 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #1B1E23 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, link are all #000000 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent, button_bg are all #1B1E23 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #1B1E23 — 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.

# Linklowdown — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FAFCFE` |
| surface | `#ECEEF0` |
| border | `#D8DADD` |
| text | `#1B1E23` |
| text_muted | `#6F7276` |
| primary | `#000000` |
| accent | `#1B1E23` |
| link | `#000000` |
| button_bg | `#1B1E23` |
| button_text | `#FAFCFE` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#1B1E23` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `primary`, `link` are all `#000000` — one role, not several.
- `accent`, `button_bg` are all `#1B1E23` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#1B1E23` — 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.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#FAFCFE` 89.8% · `#D6D9DB` 6.9% · `#9A9C9F` 3.3%

## Typography

- Heading: **Inter**
- Body: **Inter**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| body | 12px / 400 · lh 18px |

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

> **Fonts —** Inter — free, on Google.

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 48px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 0px
- button: 3.35544e+07px
- card: 8px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `lab(11.2311 -0.767566 -3.9738)` / `lab(98.8323 -0.330836 -1.47092)` | none | 3.35544e+07px | 0px 16px 0px 16px | 600 14px | none |
| secondary | `lab(11.2311 -0.767566 -3.9738)` / `lab(98.8323 -0.330836 -1.47092)` | none | 3.35544e+07px | 0px 12px 0px 12px | 600 12px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`
- transition: `opacity 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`

## Motion
- durations: 150ms (dominant) · 420ms · 300ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant) · `ease`
- animated properties: color, background-color, border-color, outline-color

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

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1100px · common grid: 4-col

## Components (measured)
- input: h 40px · r 3.35544e+07px · border 1px solid lab(90.9402 -0.491828 -2.20386) · bg lab(98.8323 -0.330836 -1.47092) · placeholder lab(65.7591 -0.796944 -3.66044)

## 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.
