Decoded design system

Qonto's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #000000, accent #9880FF, link #FFFFFF, primary #D5C8FF; type scale h1 72px / h2 56px / body 18px; 8px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #1D1D1B — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #1D1D1B — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• accent #9880FF — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
• primary #D5C8FF — a neutral UI color (chips, tags, icon fills, chrome), not the action color (action = #1D1D1B).
• 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 #A585DB — 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.

# Qonto — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#EFEFEF` |
| border | `#D8D8D8` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#606060` |
| primary | `#D5C8FF` |
| accent | `#9880FF` |
| link | `#FFFFFF` |
| secondary | `#A585DB` |
| button_bg | `#1D1D1B` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#1D1D1B` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- **accent** `#9880FF` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **primary** `#D5C8FF` — a neutral UI color (chips, tags, icon fills, chrome), not the action color (action = #1D1D1B).
- **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** `#A585DB` — 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): `#212120` 42.8% · `#0F0F0E` 36.6% · `#FCFCFC` 14.3% · `#5C5C5B` 6.3%

## Typography

- Heading: **QontoSans** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **QontoSans** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 72px / 700 · lh 80px |
| h2 | 56px / 600 · lh 64px |
| h3 | 40px / 600 · lh 48px |
| body | 18px / 400 · lh 28px |
| small | 16px / 400 · lh 20px |

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

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 8px, 11px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 40px, 48px, 56px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 80px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 8px
- button: 4px
- card: 8px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#1D1D1B` / `#FFFFFF` | 1px solid rgba(29, 29, 27, 0.3) | 4px | 2px 25px 2px 25px | 700 16px / 0.16px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#444444` | 1px solid rgb(29, 29, 27) | 4px | 8px 16px 8px 16px | 700 16px / 0.16px | none |

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.08) 0px 0px 20px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 200ms (dominant) · 300ms · 400ms
- easings: `ease-in-out` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`
- animated properties: background-size, transform, opacity, width

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.

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1600px · common grid: 12-col
- nav: 80px fixed

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.col-span-12`×2 @0ms → `nav.transition-all` @549ms → `div.flex` @549ms → `span.wr-swiper-pagination` @807ms
- `span.wr-swiper-pagination` — transform scaleX(0)→scaleX(1) — 4000ms
- overlay dialog (auto-opened): panel #FFFFFF · r 8px · border 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)

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 24px · bg rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)
  - hover: font-weight `400` · letter-spacing `normal`
- link: #050505 · underline

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 480px · 768px · 1024px · 1179px · 1240px · 1440px
- mobile (390px): hero 28px · body 16px · nav: inline

## 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.
