Decoded design system

Turbopuffer's decoded design system: background #F9FAFC, text #0F172A, accent #FDBA74, link #0F172A, primary #FDBA74; type scale h1 30px / h2 18px / body 14px; 8px spacing base; 3px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #FDBA74 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #FDBA74 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent, button_bg are all #FDBA74 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #FDBA74 — 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 #0F172A — inline text links and link-styled controls.
• secondary #CCD5E1 — 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.

# Turbopuffer — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#F9FAFC` |
| surface | `#EAECEF` |
| border | `#D5D7DC` |
| text | `#0F172A` |
| text_muted | `#676D79` |
| primary | `#FDBA74` |
| accent | `#FDBA74` |
| link | `#0F172A` |
| secondary | `#CCD5E1` |
| button_bg | `#FDBA74` |
| button_text | `#431407` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#FDBA74` — 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 `#FDBA74` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#FDBA74` — 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** `#0F172A` — inline text links and link-styled controls.
- **secondary** `#CCD5E1` — 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): `#0F172A` 48.1% · `#FAFBFD` 36.2% · `#B1A09E` 10.4% · `#362533` 5.3%

## Typography

- Heading: **JetBrains Mono**
- Body: **JetBrains Mono**
- Mono: **JetBrains Mono**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 30px / 800 · lh 36px |
| body | 14px / 400 · lh 20px |
| small | 12px / 400 · lh 16px |

- Weight ladder: 300 · 400 · 500 · 600 · 900 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px — snap all gaps/padding to these

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

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#FDBA74` / `#431407` | 1px solid rgb(67, 20, 7) | 3px | 6px 12px 6px 12px | 500 14px | rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4) 1px 1px 0px 0px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) -1px -1px 0px 0px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 2px 2px 0px 0px |
| secondary | `#E2E8F0` / `#0F172A` | 1px solid rgb(2, 6, 23) | 3px | 0px 24px 0px 24px | 500 16px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#FB923C`
- primary focus: outline `2px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)`
- secondary hover: background `#94A3B8`
- transition: `all 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- subtle: `rgb(255, 255, 255) 0px 0px 0px 2px, rgb(15, 23, 42) 0px 0px 0px 4px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px`
- button: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4) 1px 1px 0px 0px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) -1px -1px 0px 0px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 2px 2px 0px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 150ms (dominant) · 300ms · 200ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant) · `ease-in-out`
- animated properties: background-color, color, border-color, text-decoration-color

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

## Their own tokens (verbatim from :root)

| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| `--glow-bg` | `rgba(112,145,171,.3)` |
| `--radius` | `0.5rem` |
| `--dash-nav-h` | `90px` |

Prefer these names when extending their system — it's the brand's actual vocabulary.

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1400px
- nav: 72px sticky · bg #0F172A

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.jsx-bec0fa30cb34c381` @0ms
- overlay palette (auto-opened): panel #FFFFFF · r 0px · border 1px solid rgb(226, 232, 240) · shadow rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 4px 6px -1px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 2px 4px -2px

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

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 640px · 768px
- mobile (390px): hero 30px · body 16px · 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.
