Decoded design system

Pinecone's decoded design system: background #FBFBFC, text #000000, accent #002BFF, link #1C1917, primary #4B5563; type scale h1 44px / h2 32px / body 14px; 4px spacing base; 0px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #002BFF — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #002BFF — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• accent, button_bg are all #002BFF — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #002BFF — 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.
• primary #4B5563 — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #002BFF, not this.
• link #1C1917 — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #002BFF).
• secondary #CBD5E1 — 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.

# Pinecone — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FBFBFC` |
| surface | `#EBEBEC` |
| border | `#D5D5D6` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#5F5F5F` |
| primary | `#4B5563` |
| accent | `#002BFF` |
| link | `#1C1917` |
| secondary | `#CBD5E1` |
| button_bg | `#002BFF` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#002BFF` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `accent`, `button_bg` are all `#002BFF` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#002BFF` — 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.
- **primary** `#4B5563` — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #002BFF, not this.
- **link** `#1C1917` — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #002BFF).
- **secondary** `#CBD5E1` — 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): `#FBFBFC` 91.7% · `#6977E1` 8.3%

## Typography

- Heading: **gtPlanar** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **gtPlanar** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Mono: **JetBrains Mono** _(measured)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 44px / 700 · lh 48px · tracking -0.88px |
| h2 | 32px / 700 · lh 38px |
| h3 | 24px / 700 · lh 32px |
| body | 14px / 400 · lh 18px |
| small | 13px / 400 · lh 18px |
| eyebrow | 11px / 500 · tracking 0.6px |

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

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 14px, 16px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 0px
- button: 0px
- card: 50px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#002BFF` / `#FFFFFF` | 1px solid rgb(0, 43, 255) | 0px | 8px 16px 8px 16px | 400 15px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#1C1917` | 1px solid rgb(231, 229, 228) | 0px | 8px 12px 8px 12px | 400 15px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#222160` · color `#FBFBFC`
- primary focus: outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`
- secondary hover: border `1px solid rgb(0, 43, 255)`
- transition: `color 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- subtle: `rgb(0, 43, 255) 0px 0px 0px 1px`
- overlay: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 8px 32px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06) 0px 2px 8px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 150ms (dominant) · 200ms · 220ms
- easings: `ease-out` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`
- animated properties: color, background-color, border-color, stroke

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

_…and 108 more measured on the page._

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

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `html.gtplanar_cb41191c-module` @0ms → `html.gtplanar_cb41191c-module` @0ms → `span.transition-all`×4 @0ms → `span.absolute`×64 @0ms → `div.spin`×6 @1ms → `span.transition-all` @116ms
- `div.ripple` — opacity 1→0 · transform translate(-50%, -50%) scale(0)→translate(-50%, -50%) scale(2.6) — 420ms ease-out
- `div.spin` ×6 — transform none→rotate(360deg) — 700ms · loops
- scroll reveal: 4 elements rest at opacity 0, translateY(14px), animate in over 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1) (4 revealed during the drive).
- overlay dialog (auto-opened): panel #FFFFFF · r 0px

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

## Components (measured)
- input: h 46px · r 0px · border 1px solid rgb(231, 229, 228) · bg #FBFBFC · placeholder #1C1917
  - focus ring: `2px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` — this exact construction, don't invent your own
- card ×6: pad 16px 16px 16px 16px · r 0px · border 1px solid rgb(226, 232, 240) · bg #FFFFFF
  - hover: font-weight `400` · letter-spacing `normal`
- disabled: bg #002BFF · text #FFFFFF

## Themes (both measured)
- dark counterpart: bg `#171717` · text `#FFFFFF`

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 424px · 512px · 640px · 768px · 1024px · 1060px
- mobile (390px): hero 44px · 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.
