Decoded design system

Supabase's decoded design system: background #FCFCFC, text #171717, accent #72E3AD, link #50C896, primary #72E3AD; type scale h1 46px / h2 34px / body 14px; 8px spacing base; 0px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #72E3AD — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #72E3AD — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent, button_bg are all #72E3AD — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #72E3AD — 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 #50C896 — fails contrast on the background (~2.0:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).

# Supabase — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FCFCFC` |
| surface | `#EEEEEE` |
| border | `#D9D9D9` |
| text | `#171717` |
| text_muted | `#6E6E6E` |
| primary | `#72E3AD` |
| accent | `#72E3AD` |
| link | `#50C896` |
| button_bg | `#72E3AD` |
| button_text | `#171717` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#72E3AD` — 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 `#72E3AD` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#72E3AD` — 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** `#50C896` — fails contrast on the background (~2.0:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#FDFDFD` 95.1% · `#B3C4BC` 4.9%

## Typography

- Heading: **Manrope**
- Body: **Manrope**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 46px / 500 · lh 46px |
| h2 | 34px / 600 · lh 38px |
| h3 | 22px / 450 · lh 30px |
| body | 14px / 450 · lh 20px |
| small | 13px / 500 · lh 22px |

- Weight ladder: 450 · 500 · 600 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 22px, 24px, 32px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 96px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 0px
- button: 6px
- card: 8px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#72E3AD` / `oklch(0.1 0 34)` | 1px solid oklab(0.685556 -0.144467 0.0578643 / 0.75) | 6px | 4px 10px 4px 10px | 450 12px | none |
| secondary | `oklch(0.995 0 34)` / `oklch(0.1 0 34)` | 1px solid oklch(0.1 0 34 / 0.146418) | 6px | 4px 10px 4px 10px | 450 12px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: border `1px solid rgb(9, 124, 79)` · background `oklab(0.7624 -0.144102 0.0546363 / 0.8)`
- primary focus: outline `4px solid rgb(9, 124, 79)`
- secondary hover: border `1px solid oklch(0.1 0 34 / 0.187863)` · background `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)`
- transition: `all 0.2s cubic-bezier(0, 0, 0.2, 1)`

## Motion
- durations: 400ms (dominant) · 600ms · 150ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`
- animated properties: opacity, color, background-color, 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.relative`×2 @0ms → `div.w-1.5`×3 @0ms → `div.relative`×3 @0ms → `div.flex` @385ms → `div.flex` @1068ms → `li.w-screen!` @1272ms
- `div.flex` — opacity 0→1 — 300ms ease (delay 300ms)
- `div.w-1.5` ×9 — opacity 1→1 — 600ms cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.6, 1) · loops
- `div.relative` ×3 — transform translate(-100%)→translate(0px) — 30000ms · loops
- stagger: `div` ×9 — 200ms apart
- scroll reveal: 5 elements rest at opacity 0, animate in over 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1) (0 revealed during the drive).

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

## 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.
