Decoded design system

tldraw's decoded design system: background #F9FAFB, text #000000, accent #E085F4, link #E085F4, primary #9FA8B2; type scale h1 24px / h2 24px / body 12px; 4px spacing base; 4px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #1C1C1C — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #1C1C1C — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• accent, link are all #E085F4 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #E085F4 — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
• primary #9FA8B2 — a neutral UI color (chips, tags, icon fills, chrome), not the action color (action = #1C1C1C).
• secondary #AE3EC9 — 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.

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#F9FAFB` |
| surface | `#EAEBEB` |
| border | `#D3D4D5` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#5E5F5F` |
| primary | `#9FA8B2` |
| accent | `#E085F4` |
| link | `#E085F4` |
| secondary | `#AE3EC9` |
| button_bg | `#1C1C1C` |
| button_text | `#FCFCFC` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#1C1C1C` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `accent`, `link` are all `#E085F4` — one role, not several.
- **accent** `#E085F4` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **primary** `#9FA8B2` — a neutral UI color (chips, tags, icon fills, chrome), not the action color (action = #1C1C1C).
- **secondary** `#AE3EC9` — 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): `#F9FAFB` 98.5% · `#A1AEC2` 1.5%

## Typography

- Heading: **Inter**
- Body: **Inter**
- h1: 24px
- h2: 24px
- body: 12px

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 64px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 4px
- button: 4px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#1C1C1C` / `#FCFCFC` | none | 4px | 4px 8px 4px 8px | 500 12px | none |

## Motion
- durations: 3000ms (dominant) · 200ms
- easings: `ease-in-out` (dominant) · `ease-out`
- 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.

## Layout (measured)
- nav: 900px

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div._cookieAcceptButtonText_` @0ms → `div._cookieConsent_85tjp_45` @2000ms
- `div._cookieConsent_85tjp_45` — transform translateY(110%)→translate(0px) — 3000ms ease-out (delay 2000ms)
- `div._cookieAcceptButtonText_` — transform translate(100%)→translate(-100%) — 3000ms · loops
- overlay dialog (auto-opened): panel #FCFCFC · r 9px · shadow rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.28) 0px 1px 2px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.14) 0px 2px 6px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset

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

## Components (measured)
- disabled: bg rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) · text #888D91

## Themes (both measured)
- dark counterpart: bg `#101011` · text `#F9FAFB`

## Responsive (measured)
- mobile (390px): hero 24px · body 12px · 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.
