Decoded design system

Weaviate's decoded design system: background #111111, text #B9C8DE, accent #DDEBF2, link #FFFFFF, primary #130C49; type scale h1 68px / h2 56px / body 18px; 4px spacing base; 14px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #6BE38C — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #6BE38C — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• accent #DDEBF2 — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
• primary #130C49 — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #6BE38C, not this.
• link #FFFFFF — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #6BE38C).
• secondary #B9C8DE — 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.

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#6BE38C` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- **accent** `#DDEBF2` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **primary** `#130C49` — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #6BE38C, not this.
- **link** `#FFFFFF` — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #6BE38C).
- **secondary** `#B9C8DE` — 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): `#111111` 51.1% · `#06265B` 20.6% · `#15425A` 14.7% · `#628B7F` 8.8%

## Typography

- Heading: **Plus Jakarta Sans**
- Body: **Inter**
- Mono: **SFMono-Regular** _(measured)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 68px / 600 · lh 85px · tracking -2.04px |

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 8px, 10px, 12px, 14px, 16px, 20px, 22px, 24px, 28px, 32px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 96px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 14px
- button: 8px
- card: 12px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#6BE38C` / `#081012` | none | 8px | 10px 20px 10px 20px | 500 14px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(10, 12, 18, 0.78)` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 10px | 16px 32px 16px 32px | 600 16px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#7CED9D` · color `#63E689`
- primary focus: outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`
- secondary hover: transform `matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, -2)`
- transition: `color 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- subtle: `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.06) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.16) 0px 20px 60px 0px`
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.22) 0px 10px 40px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 300ms (dominant) · 150ms · 200ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.08, 0.52, 0.52, 1)`
- 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.

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.trusted-logos-track` @0ms → `div.tw-marquee-track` @0ms → `div.panel-fade-in` @0ms → `div.sliderHandle_vSzG` @0ms → `a.skipToContent_fXgn` @702ms → `div.tw-flex`×76 @703ms
- scroll reveal: 5 elements rest at opacity 0, translateY(2px), animate in over 0.3s 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)
- card ×4: pad 32px 32px 32px 32px · r 28px · shadow rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.06) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.16) 0px 20px 60px 0px · bg rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 601px · 1280px · 1510px
- mobile (390px): hero 40px · body 16px · 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.
