Decoded design system

Pika's decoded design system: background #FCFAF7, text #222222, accent #FFD184, link #CFC3FF, primary #FFD184; type scale h1 48px / h2 35px / body 15px; 8px spacing base; 3px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #000000 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #000000 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent are all #FFD184 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #FFD184 — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
• link #CFC3FF — fails contrast on the background (~1.6:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).
• secondary #FFEDD2 — 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.

# Pika — Design System

> light, playful, high, tailwind — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FCFAF7` |
| surface | `#EEEDEA` |
| border | `#DBD9D7` |
| text | `#222222` |
| text_muted | `#747472` |
| primary | `#FFD184` |
| accent | `#FFD184` |
| link | `#CFC3FF` |
| secondary | `#FFEDD2` |
| button_bg | `#000000` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#000000` — 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` are all `#FFD184` — one role, not several.
- **accent** `#FFD184` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **link** `#CFC3FF` — fails contrast on the background (~1.6:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).
- **secondary** `#FFEDD2` — 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): `#FCFAF7` 97% · `#7D7973` 3%

## Typography

- Heading: **TelkaExtended** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Telka** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 48px / 900 · lh 48px |
| h2 | 35px / 500 · lh 29px |
| h3 | 32px / 900 · lh 32px · tracking 0.64px |
| body | 15px / 500 · lh 15px |
| small | 12px / 700 · lh 12px · tracking 0.24px |

- Weight ladder: 300 · 400 · 500 · 700 · 900 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 6px, 8px, 9px, 12px, 14px, 16px, 20px, 32px, 40px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 80px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 3px
- button: 18px
- card: 18px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#000000` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 18px | 8px 12px 8px 12px | 300 14px | none |
| secondary | `#FFD184` / `#222222` | none | 18px | 0px 20px 0px 20px | 500 15px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#222222`
- secondary hover: background `#FFDBA4`
- transition: `transform 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.23, 1, 0.32, 1)`

## Motion
- durations: 150ms (dominant) · 200ms · 500ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.23, 1, 0.32, 1)` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.33, 1, 0.68, 1)`
- animated properties: background-color, border-color, transform, 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)

| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| `--content-light-primary` | `#fff` |
| `--content-light-secondary` | `#fcfaf7d9` |
| `--content-light-tertiary` | `#fcfaf7b3` |
| `--content-light-quaternary` | `#fcfaf780` |

_…and 82 more measured on the page._

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

## Layout (measured)
- container max 720px · common grid: 3-col
- nav: 70px fixed

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 2523 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 742 | 980 | 3 | 42 | 80/80 | — |

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `body.overflow-x-hidden!` @0ms
- scroll reveal: 8 elements rest at opacity 0, translateY(30px), animate in over 500ms (3 revealed during the drive).

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

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 375px · 640px · 768px · 800px · 1024px · 1200px
- mobile (390px): hero 48px · body 14px · 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.
