Decoded design system

Wise's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #454745, accent #9FE870, link #163300, primary #163300; type scale h1 300px / h2 105px / body 18px; 4px spacing base; 3px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #9FE870 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #9FE870 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, link are all #163300 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent, button_bg are all #9FE870 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #9FE870 — 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 #37517E — 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.

# Wise — Design System

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

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#F3F3F3` |
| border | `#E3E3E3` |
| text | `#454745` |
| text_muted | `#8B8C8B` |
| primary | `#163300` |
| accent | `#9FE870` |
| link | `#163300` |
| secondary | `#37517E` |
| button_bg | `#9FE870` |
| button_text | `#163300` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#9FE870` — 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 `#163300` — one role, not several.
- `accent`, `button_bg` are all `#9FE870` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#9FE870` — 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** `#37517E` — 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): `#9E9F9D` 69.3% · `#FFFFFF` 12.8% · `#1A2722` 9% · `#6A9086` 7.8%

## Typography

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

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 300px / 400 · lh 26px |
| h2 | 105px / 900 · lh 90px |
| h3 | 61px / 600 · lh 67px · tracking -1.83px |
| body | 18px / 400 · lh 26px · tracking -0.11px |
| small | 16px / 600 · lh 24px · tracking 0.08px |

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

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 3px, 4px, 8px, 9px, 11px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 28px, 38px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 56px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 3px
- button: 9999px
- card: 19px
- pill: 9999px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#9FE870` / `#163300` | 1px solid rgb(159, 232, 112) | 9999px | 8px 12px 8px 12px | 600 16px / -0.176px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#163300` | none | 18.7693px | 8px 12px 8px 12px | 600 18px / -0.108px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: border `1px solid rgb(128, 225, 66)` · background `#80E142`
- transition: `color 0.35s cubic-bezier(0.8, 0.05, 0.2, 0.95)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- subtle: `rgba(14, 15, 12, 0.12) 0px 0px 0px 1px`
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08) 0px 6px 20px 0px`
- overlay: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15) 0px 10px 32px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.04) 0px 40px 40px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 350ms (dominant) · 150ms · 100ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.8, 0.05, 0.2, 0.95)` (dominant) · `ease`
- animated properties: color, background-color, width, border-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.
