Decoded design system

Pilot's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #3F3C3D, accent #5931DC, link #DB2BE8, primary #5931DC; type scale h1 56px / h2 40px / body 20px; 4px spacing base; 10px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #5931DC — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #5931DC — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent, button_bg are all #5931DC — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #5931DC — 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 #DB2BE8 — inline text links and link-styled controls.
• secondary #5F2EE5 — 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.

# Pilot — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#F3F3F3` |
| border | `#E2E1E1` |
| text | `#3F3C3D` |
| text_muted | `#878686` |
| primary | `#5931DC` |
| accent | `#5931DC` |
| link | `#DB2BE8` |
| secondary | `#5F2EE5` |
| button_bg | `#5931DC` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#5931DC` — 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 `#5931DC` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#5931DC` — 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** `#DB2BE8` — inline text links and link-styled controls.
- **secondary** `#5F2EE5` — 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): `#281350` 59.6% · `#3B2275` 11.7% · `#BC7DC0` 11.2% · `#F0E3CA` 11%

## Typography

- Heading: **Euclid Circular B** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Euclid Circular B** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Mono: **Spacemono**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 56px / 600 · lh 64px |
| h2 | 40px / 600 · lh 42px |
| h3 | 32px / 500 · lh 34px |
| body | 20px / 400 · lh 30px |
| small | 18px / 400 · lh 18px |
| eyebrow | 12px / 400 · tracking 1.2px |

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

> **Fonts —** Euclid Circular B may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts).

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 6px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 30px, 56px, 80px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 10px
- button: 46px
- card: 50px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)` / `#FFFFFF` | 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255) | 46px | 14px 20px 14px 20px | 400 16px / -0.48px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#FFFFFF` | 6px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) | 46px | 15px 24px 15px 24px | 400 18px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#FFFFFF` · color `#281350`
- primary focus: outline `2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255)`
- transition: `all 0.1s ease`

## Motion
- durations: 100ms (dominant) · 150ms · 200ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant)
- animated properties: opacity, color, background-color

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

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `a.new_btn` @0ms → `a.new_btn` @0ms

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

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 479px · 767px · 991px
- mobile (390px): hero 40px · 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.
