Decoded design system

Turso's decoded design system: background #0D1318, text #FFFFFF, accent #4FF7D1, link #0D1318, primary #162129; type scale h1 72px / h2 48px / body 16px; 8px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #4FF7D1 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #4FF7D1 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• accent, button_bg are all #4FF7D1 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #4FF7D1 — 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.
• primary #162129 — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #4FF7D1, not this.
• link #0D1318 — 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 #D946EF — 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.

# Turso — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#0D1318` |
| surface | `#1B2125` |
| border | `#31363A` |
| text | `#FFFFFF` |
| text_muted | `#A3A5A7` |
| primary | `#162129` |
| accent | `#4FF7D1` |
| link | `#0D1318` |
| secondary | `#D946EF` |
| button_bg | `#4FF7D1` |
| button_text | `#000000` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#4FF7D1` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `accent`, `button_bg` are all `#4FF7D1` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#4FF7D1` — 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.
- **primary** `#162129` — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #4FF7D1, not this.
- **link** `#0D1318` — 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** `#D946EF` — 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): `#0D1318` 86.9% · `#50FAD4` 7.5% · `#263A3B` 3.3% · `#48B7A0` 2.3% — the action color covers ~7.5% of the page; keep it that scarce.

## Typography

- Heading: **Inter**
- Body: **Inter**
- Mono: **SFMono-Regular**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 72px / 800 · lh 72px · tracking -1.8px |
| h2 | 48px / 600 · lh 48px · tracking -1.2px |
| h3 | 36px / 700 · lh 40px |
| body | 16px / 400 · lh 28px |
| small | 14px / 600 · lh 20px |

- Weight ladder: 400 · 500 · 600 · 700 · 800 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 14px, 16px, 24px, 40px, 48px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 8px
- button: 9999px
- card: 12px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#4FF7D1` / `#000000` | none | 9999px | 12px 24px 12px 24px | 600 16px | none |
| secondary | `#D946EF` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 9999px | — | — | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: outline `2px auto rgb(22, 163, 74)`

## Motion
- durations: 150ms (dominant) · 200ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant)
- animated properties: color, background-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 |
|-------|-------|

| `--turso-primary-aqua` | `#4ff8d2` |
| `--turso-blue-4` | `#232e36` |
| `--turso-dark-gray` | `#293945` |

| `--turso-blue-2` | `#121b22` |
| `--turso-lime` | `#a4df95` |

_…and 6 more measured on the page._

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

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1280px
- nav: 92px

## Motion choreography (measured)
- scroll reveal: 8 elements rest at opacity 0, animate in over 0.2s 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.

## Components (measured)
- link: #0D1318 · underline

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 576px · 768px · 1024px · 1200px · 1440px · 1920px
- mobile (390px): 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.
