Decoded design system

Vanta's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #181822, accent #5E05C4, link #484960, primary #260048; type scale h1 72px / h2 64px / body 16px; 8px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #5E05C4 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #5E05C4 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• accent, button_bg are all #5E05C4 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #5E05C4 — 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 #260048 — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #5E05C4, not this.
• link #484960 — inline text links and link-styled controls.
• secondary #DDD6FF — 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.

# Vanta — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#F1F1F1` |
| border | `#DCDCDD` |
| text | `#181822` |
| text_muted | `#6F6F75` |
| primary | `#260048` |
| accent | `#5E05C4` |
| link | `#484960` |
| secondary | `#DDD6FF` |
| button_bg | `#5E05C4` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#5E05C4` — 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 `#5E05C4` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#5E05C4` — 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** `#260048` — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #5E05C4, not this.
- **link** `#484960` — inline text links and link-styled controls.
- **secondary** `#DDD6FF` — 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): `#FFFFFF` 40.8% · `#DDD6FF` 40.4% · `#6A5888` 14.6% · `#D3DBDF` 4.2%

## Typography

- Heading: **Reckless** _(free fallback: Fraunces)_
- Body: **Inter**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 72px / 500 · lh 79px · tracking -1px |
| h2 | 64px / 500 · lh 77px · tracking -0.5px |
| h3 | 56px / 500 · lh 67px · tracking -1px |
| body | 16px / 400 · lh 24px |
| small | 14px / 400 · lh 22px |

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

> **Fonts —** Reckless is proprietary — closest free match: Fraunces (Google). Load Fraunces; keep Reckless first so licensed users still get it. Inter — free, on Google.

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 13px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 48px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 80px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

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

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#5E05C4` / `#FFFFFF` | 1px solid rgb(94, 5, 196) | 9999px | 2.4px 2.4px 2.4px 12px | 500 16px | none |
| secondary | `#FFFFFF` / `#181822` | 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255) | 9999px | 8px 10.4px 8px 12.8px | 500 16px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: border `1px solid rgb(38, 0, 72)` · background `#260048`
- primary focus: outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`
- secondary hover: border `1px solid rgb(195, 196, 211)` · background `#F8F8F8`
- transition: `all 0.2s ease`

## Motion
- durations: 200ms (dominant) · 300ms · 350ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant) · `ease-out`
- animated properties: transform, color, background-color, opacity

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.
