Decoded design system

Motion's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #000000, accent #2C77E7, link #475467, primary #475467; type scale h1 88px / h2 60px / body 20px; 8px spacing base; 0px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #2C77E7 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #2C77E7 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, link are all #475467 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent, button_bg are all #2C77E7 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #2C77E7 — 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.
• secondary #101828 — 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.

# Motion — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#EFEFEF` |
| border | `#D8D8D8` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#606060` |
| primary | `#475467` |
| accent | `#2C77E7` |
| link | `#475467` |
| secondary | `#101828` |
| button_bg | `#2C77E7` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#2C77E7` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `primary`, `link` are all `#475467` — one role, not several.
- `accent`, `button_bg` are all `#2C77E7` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#2C77E7` — 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.
- **secondary** `#101828` — 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): `#F6FCFC` 85.6% · `#555878` 8% · `#E2E7F7` 6.4%

## Typography

- Heading: **Albert Sans** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Inter**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 88px / 600 · lh 97px · tracking -2.2px |
| h2 | 60px / 600 · lh 75px · tracking -0.3px |
| h3 | 34px / 600 · lh 47px · tracking -0.3px |
| body | 20px / 600 · lh 28px |
| small | 18px / 400 · lh 28px |

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

> **Fonts —** Albert Sans may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts). Inter — free, on Google.

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 3px, 6px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 48px, 80px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 64px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 0px
- button: 8px
- card: 8px
- pill: 9999px
- sharp: 3px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#2C77E7` / `oklch(1 0 0)` | none | 8px | 12px 20px 12px 20px | 600 16px | rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 2px 5px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2) 0px 2px 0px 0px inset |
| secondary | `#FFFFFF` / `#000000` | none | 12px | — | — | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`
- transition: `color 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`

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

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

## 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.
