Decoded design system

Netflix Mobile's decoded design system: background #000000, text #FFFFFF, accent #1F0103, link #1F0103, primary #1F0103; type scale h1 100px / h2 56px / body 16px; 4px spacing base; 12px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #E50914 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#000000`
surface	`#0F0F0F`
border	`#262626`
text	`#FFFFFF`
text_muted	`#9E9E9E`
primary	`#1F0103`
accent	`#1F0103`
link	`#1F0103`
button_bg	`#E50914`
button_text	`#FFFFFF`

Using these colors

Action color #E50914 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
primary, accent, link are all #1F0103 — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #1F0103 — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.

# Netflix Mobile — Design System

> dark, consumer, high — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#000000` |
| surface | `#0F0F0F` |
| border | `#262626` |
| text | `#FFFFFF` |
| text_muted | `#9E9E9E` |
| primary | `#1F0103` |
| accent | `#1F0103` |
| link | `#1F0103` |
| button_bg | `#E50914` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#E50914` — 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 `#1F0103` — one role, not several.
- **accent** `#1F0103` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#141716` 41.2% · `#030303` 26.5% · `#EFEFEF` 13.9% · `#3C1E25` 8.3%

## Typography

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

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 100px / 700 · lh 100px |
| h2 | 56px / 700 · lh 70px |
| h3 | 24px / 400 · lh 24px |
| body | 16px / 400 · lh 24px |
| small | 14px / 400 · lh 21px |

- Weight ladder: 400 · 500 · 600 · 700 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 3px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 22px, 24px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 12px
- button: 4px
- card: 8px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#E50914` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 4px | 12px 24px 12px 24px | 500 24px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#C11119`
- primary focus: outline `2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255)`
- transition: `background-color 0.25s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.68, 0.06)`

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

## Motion
- durations: 250ms (dominant) · 200ms · 4000ms
- easings: `ease-in-out` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.68, 0.06)`
- animated properties: transform, background-color, border-radius, border-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 730px
- nav: 88px

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `select` @0ms → `div.default-ltr-iqcdef-cache`×10 @615ms → `input`×2 @764ms → `button.default-ltr-iqcdef-cache` @834ms → `div.default-ltr-iqcdef-cache`×2 @834ms
- `div.default-ltr-iqcdef-cache` ×10 — backgroundColor rgb(35, 35, 35)→rgb(65, 65, 65) — 4000ms · loops
- stagger: `div` ×10 — 400ms apart

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

## Components (measured)
- input: h 56px · r 0px · bg rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) · placeholder #FFFFFF
- link: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7) · underline

## Responsive (measured)
- mobile (390px): hero 32px · body 16px · nav: inline

## 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.
