Decoded design system

Sanity's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #0B0B0B, accent #FF4100, link #FFFFFF, primary #FF4100; type scale h1 112px / h2 72px / body 12px; 4px spacing base; 5px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #0052EF — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #0052EF — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent are all #FF4100 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #FF4100 — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
• 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 #CCD6DD — 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.

# Sanity — Design System

> light, modern, high, tailwind — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#F0F0F0` |
| border | `#DADADA` |
| text | `#0B0B0B` |
| text_muted | `#676767` |
| primary | `#FF4100` |
| accent | `#FF4100` |
| link | `#FFFFFF` |
| secondary | `#CCD6DD` |
| button_bg | `#0052EF` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#0052EF` — 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` are all `#FF4100` — one role, not several.
- **accent** `#FF4100` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **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** `#CCD6DD` — 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): `#070707` 63.3% · `#FFFFFF` 26.2% · `#BA8A79` 10.5%

## Typography

- Heading: **Waldenburg** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Waldenburg** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Mono: **IBM Plex Mono-eea356736565d76d** _(measured)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 112px / 400 · lh 112px · tracking -4.48px |
| h2 | 72px / 400 · lh 76px · tracking -2.88px |
| h3 | 48px / 400 · lh 52px · tracking -1.68px |
| body | 12px / 400 · lh 18px |
| small | 11px / 500 · lh 11px |

- Weight ladder: 400 · 425 · 500 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 18px, 24px, 32px, 48px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 128px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 5px
- button: 9999px
- card: 5px
- pill: 9999px
- sharp: 3px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#0052EF` / `#FFFFFF` | 1px solid rgb(0, 82, 239) | 9999px | 4px 12px 4px 12px | 400 13px | none |
| secondary | `color(display-p3 1 0.3333 0)` / `#0B0B0B` | 1px solid color(display-p3 1 0.3333 0) | 9999px | 4px 12px 4px 12px | 400 13px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#FFFFFF` · color `#0052EF`
- primary focus: height `35px` · outline `2px dotted rgb(11, 11, 11)`
- secondary hover: border `1px solid rgb(11, 11, 11)` · background `#0B0B0B` · color `color(display-p3 1 0.3333 0)`

## Motion
- durations: 150ms (dominant) · 600ms · 200ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant) · `linear`
- animated properties: color, outline-color, opacity, border-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.marquee-track` @0ms → `header.header` @103ms → `span.block` @103ms → `div.osano-cm-info-dialog__in`×2 @737ms → `p.text-body-lg` @908ms → `p.text-body-lg` @909ms

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

## Components (measured)
- input: h 35px · r 3px · bg rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) · placeholder #797979
  - focus ring: `0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255)` — this exact construction, don't invent your own
- disabled: bg #212121 · text #797979

## Themes (both measured)
- dark counterpart: bg `#0B0B0B` · text `#FFFFFF`

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 376px · 590px · 768px · 980px · 1200px

## 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.
