Adyen runs global payments in its own variable face at surgical weights (484, 436 — tuned, not rounded), keeping headings at a banker's 32px while 80px numerals like €1,400,000,000,009 do the actual talking. Deep ink #001222, photography of real commerce, and processed-volume counters as hero art — enterprise payments where the type defers to the number.

# Adyen — Design System

> light, professional, medium, tailwind

Adyen runs global payments in its own variable face at surgical weights (484, 436 — tuned, not rounded), keeping headings at a banker's 32px while 80px numerals like €1,400,000,000,009 do the actual talking. Deep ink #001222, photography of real commerce, and processed-volume counters as hero art — enterprise payments where the type defers to the number.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#EFF0F1` |
| border | `#D8DBDD` |
| text | `#001222` |
| text_muted | `#606C75` |
| primary | `#1B2B3A` |
| accent | `#00D16A` |
| link | `#001222` |
| secondary | `#001122` |
| button_bg | `#00D16A` |
| button_text | `#001222` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#00D16A` — 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 `#00D16A` — one role, not several (your action color).
- `link` `#001222`, `secondary` `#001122` are visually the same color (Δ1) — treat as one role.
- **accent** `#00D16A` — 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** `#1B2B3A` — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #00D16A, not this.

## Typography

- Heading: **Helvetica**
- Body: **Helvetica**

## 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.
