Decoded design system

Prisma's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #1D242F, accent #14B8A6, link #FFFFFF, primary #14B8A6; type scale h1 52px / h2 36px / body 16px; 4px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #14B8A6 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#FFFFFF`
surface	`#F1F1F2`
border	`#DDDEDF`
text	`#1D242F`
text_muted	`#72777E`
primary	`#14B8A6`
accent	`#14B8A6`
link	`#FFFFFF`
secondary	`#6B7280`
button_bg	`#14B8A6`
button_text	`#FFFFFF`

Using these colors

Action color #14B8A6 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
primary, accent, button_bg are all #14B8A6 — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #14B8A6 — 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 #FFFFFF — fails contrast on the background (~1.0:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).
secondary #6B7280 — 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.

# Prisma — Design System

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#F1F1F2` |
| border | `#DDDEDF` |
| text | `#1D242F` |
| text_muted | `#72777E` |
| primary | `#14B8A6` |

| link | `#FFFFFF` |
| secondary | `#6B7280` |
| button_bg | `#14B8A6` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#14B8A6` — 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 `#14B8A6` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#14B8A6` — 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** `#FFFFFF` — fails contrast on the background (~1.0:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).
- **secondary** `#6B7280` — 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): `#FFFFFF` 69.5% · `#D9EEEC` 24.7% · `#8B9EA8` 5.9%

## Typography

- Heading: **Inter**
- Body: **Inter**
- Mono: **monaSansMono** _(measured)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 52px / 900 · lh 58px |
| h2 | 36px / 900 · lh 48px |
| h3 | 30px / 400 · lh 36px |
| body | 16px / 375 · lh 24px |
| small | 14px / 400 · lh 20px |
| eyebrow | 11px / 400 · tracking 0.36px |

- Weight ladder: 375 · 400 · 500 · 600 · 700 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

> **Fonts —** Inter — free, on Google.

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 26px, 32px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 56px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 8px
- button: 6px
- card: 6px
- pill: 9999px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#14B8A6` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 6px | 0px 8px 0px 8px | 500 14px | rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.04) 0px 1px 2px 0px |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#5A67D8` | 2px solid rgb(90, 103, 216) | 2px | 8px 8px 8px 8px | 700 14px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#0D9488`
- primary focus: outline `1px auto oklab(0.644284 -0.110767 -0.00619507 / 0.5)`
- transition: `all 0.05s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(172, 171, 171, 0.3) 0px -1px 10px 0px`
- button: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.04) 0px 1px 2px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 150ms (dominant) · 300ms · 50ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant) · `ease`
- animated properties: border-color, color, background-color, outline-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: `div.flex`×4 @0ms
- scroll reveal: 1 elements rest at opacity 0, animate in over 0.3s ease (0 revealed during the drive).
- overlay dialog (auto-opened): panel #F7FAFC · r 6px

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

## Components (measured)
- input: h 36px · r 6px · border 1px solid rgb(229, 231, 235) · bg #FFFFFF · placeholder #6B7280
  - focus ring: `` — this exact construction, don't invent your own
- card ×3: pad 0px 0px 0px 0px · r 12px · border 1px solid rgb(226, 232, 240) · shadow  · bg rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)
  - hover: font-weight `400` · letter-spacing `normal`
- link: #111827 · underline

## Themes (both measured)
- dark counterpart: bg `#030712` · text `#F7FAFC`
- tokens that flip between modes:
  - `--color-fd-background`: `#fff` → `#131420`
  - `--color-fd-foreground`: `#1d242f` → `#f7fafc`
  - `--color-fd-muted`: `#edf2f7` → `#1d242f`
  - `--color-fd-muted-foreground`: `#718096` → `#a0aec0`
  - `--color-fd-popover`: `#fff` → `#1a202c`
  - `--color-fd-popover-foreground`: `#1d242f` → `#f7fafc`
  - `--color-fd-card`: `#fff` → `#1a202c`
  - `--color-fd-card-foreground`: `#1d242f` → `#f7fafc`

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 352px · 425px · 440px · 576px · 640px · 874px
- mobile (390px): hero 32px · 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.
