Decoded design system

Photoroom's decoded design system: background #F5F4F0, text #000000, accent #492FFB, link #1A1A1A, primary #492FFB; type scale h1 72px / h2 42px / body 14px; 8px spacing base; 10px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #492FFB — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #492FFB — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent, button_bg are all #492FFB — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #492FFB — 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 #1A1A1A — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #492FFB).
• secondary #6A7282 — 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.

# Photoroom — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#F5F4F0` |
| surface | `#E6E5E1` |
| border | `#D0CFCC` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#5D5C5B` |
| primary | `#492FFB` |
| accent | `#492FFB` |
| link | `#1A1A1A` |
| secondary | `#6A7282` |
| button_bg | `#492FFB` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#492FFB` — 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 `#492FFB` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#492FFB` — 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** `#1A1A1A` — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #492FFB).
- **secondary** `#6A7282` — 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): `#F5F4F0` 89.1% · `#422BDD` 8.4% · `#9088BD` 2.5%

## Typography

- Heading: **Roboto**
- Body: **Roboto**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 72px / 400 · lh 79px · tracking -1.97px |
| h2 | 42px / 400 · lh 46px · tracking -0.42px |
| h3 | 29px / 500 · lh 38px · tracking -0.06px |
| body | 14px / 500 · lh 21px |
| small | 13px / 500 · lh 20px |

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 6px, 8px, 11px, 12px, 16px, 19px, 24px, 32px, 40px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 112px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 10px
- button: 10px
- card: 10px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#492FFB` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 10px | 0px 0px 0px 0px | 400 16px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#1A1A1A` | 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15) | 10px | 0px 0px 0px 0px | 400 16px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- secondary hover: background `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)`
- transition: `all 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.09) 0px 4px 12.8px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05) 0px 8px 25.6px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.02) 0px 16px 51.2px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 200ms (dominant) · 150ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.2, 1, 0.4, 1)`
- animated properties: color, background-color, opacity, 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.

## Their own tokens (verbatim from :root)

## Motion choreography (measured)
- scroll reveal: 4 elements rest at opacity 0, animate in over 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.2, 1, 0.4, 1) (0 revealed during the drive).

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

## Components (measured)
- card ×3: pad 0px 0px 0px 0px · r 10px · border 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15) · bg rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)
  - hover: font-weight `400` · letter-spacing `normal`
- link: #1A1A1A · no underline

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 640px · 1024px
- mobile (390px): hero 35px · 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.
