Decoded design system

Railway's decoded design system: background #13111C, text #FFFFFF, accent #553F83, link #A667E4, primary #1F132A; type scale h1 54px / h2 36px / body 16px; 8px spacing base; 6px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #553F83 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #553F83 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• accent, secondary, button_bg are all #553F83 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #553F83 — 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 #1F132A — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #553F83, not this.
• link #A667E4 — inline text links and link-styled controls.

# Railway — Design System

> dark, modern, medium, tailwind — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#13111C` |
| surface | `#211F29` |
| border | `#36343E` |
| text | `#FFFFFF` |
| text_muted | `#A5A4A8` |
| primary | `#1F132A` |
| accent | `#553F83` |
| link | `#A667E4` |
| secondary | `#553F83` |
| button_bg | `#553F83` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#553F83` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `accent`, `secondary`, `button_bg` are all `#553F83` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#553F83` — 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** `#1F132A` — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #553F83, not this.
- **link** `#A667E4` — inline text links and link-styled controls.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#13111C` 60.2% · `#222B3A` 33.2% · `#4E4B61` 6.6%

## Typography

- Heading: **IBM Plex Serif** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Inter**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 54px / 500 · lh 60px · tracking -1.96px |
| h2 | 36px / 400 · lh 48px · tracking -0.72px |
| h3 | 20px / 400 · lh 28px |
| body | 16px / 500 · lh 24px |
| small | 14px / 500 · lh 20px |

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

> **Fonts —** IBM Plex Serif may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts). Inter — free, on Google.

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 6px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 64px, 80px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 96px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 6px
- button: 8px
- card: 4px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#553F83` / `#FFFFFF` | 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.15) | 8px | 12px 24px 12px 24px | 500 20px / -0.2px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#F7F7F8` | none | 6px | 0px 12px 0px 12px | 500 14px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`
- secondary hover: background `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.05)`
- transition: `filter 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`

## Motion
- durations: 150ms (dominant) · 200ms · 3000ms
- easings: `ease-out` (dominant) · `ease-in-out`
- animated properties: transform, opacity, background-color, color

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

## 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.
