Decoded design system

N26's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #000000, accent #088177, link #1B1B1B, primary #003B39; type scale h1 80px / h2 58px / body 20px; 8px spacing base; 0px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #003B39 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #003B39 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, button_bg are all #003B39 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #088177 — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
• link #1B1B1B — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #003B39).
• secondary #E3D9CF — 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.

# N26 — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#EFEFEF` |
| border | `#D8D8D8` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#606060` |
| primary | `#003B39` |
| accent | `#088177` |
| link | `#1B1B1B` |
| secondary | `#E3D9CF` |
| button_bg | `#003B39` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#003B39` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `primary`, `button_bg` are all `#003B39` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#088177` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **link** `#1B1B1B` — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #003B39).
- **secondary** `#E3D9CF` — 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): `#088177` 62.6% · `#FFFFFF` 26.6% · `#D1D5D4` 5.3% · `#6AADA6` 3%

## Typography

- Heading: **N26 Extended** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **N26** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 80px / 400 · lh 88px |
| h2 | 58px / 400 · lh 64px |
| body | 20px / 400 · lh 30px · tracking 0.31px |
| small | 19px / 600 · lh 25px |

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

> **Fonts —** N26 Extended may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts). N26 may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts).

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 48px, 56px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 0px
- button: 24px
- card: 24px
- pill: 9999px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#003B39` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 24px | 12px 24px 12px 24px | 500 16px / 0.3px | none |
| secondary | `#FFFFFF` / `#1B1B1B` | none | 24px | — | — | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#045E58`
- transition: `color 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`

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

## Motion
- durations: 150ms (dominant) · 300ms · 600ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0, 0.37, 0.28, 1)`
- 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 1280px
- nav: 73px · border-bottom 1px solid rgb(217, 217, 217) · bg #FAF8F5

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 900 | 831 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 1731 | 831 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 2562 | 831 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 3393 | 831 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 4224 | 831 | — | — | 0/0 | — |

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.animate-slideUp`×2 @0ms → `` @105ms → `div.overflow-hidden` @732ms → `div.otFlat` @732ms → `div.overflow-hidden` @2231ms → `div.overflow-hidden` @2931ms
- `div.overflow-hidden` — opacity 0→1 — 300ms ease-in
- `div.animate-slideUp` ×2 — opacity 0→1 · transform translateY(40%)→translateY(0px) — 600ms cubic-bezier(0, 0.37, 0.28, 1) (delay 100ms)
- `?` — opacity 0→1 · transform translateY(40%)→translateY(0px) — 600ms cubic-bezier(0, 0.37, 0.28, 1) (delay 200ms)
- stagger: `div` ×3 — 100ms apart
- overlay dialog (auto-opened): panel #FAF8F5 · r 16px

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

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 320px · 426px · 475px · 550px · 640px · 768px
- mobile (390px): hero 48px · 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.
