Decoded design system

Starbucks Mobile's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #000000, accent #016737, link #016737, primary #016737; type scale h1 50px / h2 24px / body 19px; 8px spacing base; 12px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #32462F — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #32462F — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent, link are all #016737 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #016737 — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.

# Starbucks Mobile — Design System

> light, consumer, high — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#EFEFEF` |
| border | `#D8D8D8` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#606060` |
| primary | `#016737` |
| accent | `#016737` |
| link | `#016737` |
| button_bg | `#32462F` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#32462F` — 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`, `link` are all `#016737` — one role, not several.
- **accent** `#016737` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#006242` 29.9% · `#FFFFFF` 22.7% · `#EBE6E1` 18.9% · `#304532` 12.4%

## Typography

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

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 50px / 600 · lh 60px · tracking 2px |
| h2 | 24px / 600 · lh 36px · tracking -0.16px |
| body | 19px / 400 · lh 33px · tracking -0.16px |
| small | 16px / 400 · lh 24px · tracking -0.16px |
| eyebrow | 14px / 700 · tracking 1.4px |

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

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 7px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 34px, 36px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 12px
- button: 50px
- card: 50px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#32462F` / `#FFFFFF` | 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255) | 50px | 2px 12px 2px 12px | 300 19px / -0.16px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#FFFFFF` | 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255) | 50px | 7px 16px 7px 16px | 600 16px / -0.16px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: box-shadow `rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 0px 0px 0.5px, rgb(0, 117, 74) 0px 0px 0px 2px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 0px 0px 4px` · outline `2px solid rgb(0, 117, 74)`
- secondary hover: background `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2)`
- transition: `all 0.3s ease`

## Shadows (elevation)
- subtle: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 3px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06) 0px 2px 2px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.07) 0px 0px 2px 0px`
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 11px 15px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06) 0px 9px 46px 8px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.07) 0px 24px 38px 3px`

## Motion
- durations: 200ms (dominant) · 300ms
- easings: `ease-out` (dominant) · `ease`
- animated properties: transform, opacity

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: `a.sb-button`×5 @0ms → `a.sb-button`×5 @1ms
- overlay dialog (auto-opened): panel rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) · r 0px

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

## Components (measured)
- link: #FFFFFF · no underline

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 375px · 480px · 768px · 1024px · 1280px · 1520px
- mobile (390px): hero 22px · body 14px · 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.
