Tokens

Airbnb Mobile's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #000000, accent #BF416C, link #BF416C, primary #BF416C; type scale h1 34px / h2 22px / body 17px; 8px spacing base; 12px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #BF416C — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #BF416C — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent, link, button_bg are all #BF416C — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #BF416C — 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.

# Airbnb Mobile — Design System

> light, consumer, high — deep decode (measured live)

Airbnb Mobile — palette measured from official store listing screenshots (colors only; no font claims). Type scale shown is the platform HIG default.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#EFEFEF` |
| border | `#D8D8D8` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#606060` |
| primary | `#BF416C` |
| accent | `#BF416C` |
| link | `#BF416C` |
| button_bg | `#BF416C` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#BF416C` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `primary`, `accent`, `link`, `button_bg` are all `#BF416C` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#BF416C` — 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.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#FFFFFF` 67% · `#E3E3E1` 8.5% · `#C5B7AA` 6.5% · `#7F705F` 6.1%

## Typography


| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 22px / 500 · lh 26px · tracking -0.44px |
| h2 | 20px / 600 · lh 24px · tracking -0.18px |
| h3 | 18px / 700 · lh 24px |
| body | 13px / 500 · lh 16px |
| small | 12px / 400 · lh 16px |
| eyebrow | 8px / 700 · tracking 0.32px |

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 8px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 3px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 13px, 15px, 16px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 12px
- button: 12px
- card: 20px
- sharp: 3px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#222222` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 8px | 11px 18px 11px 18px | 500 14px | rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8) 0px 0px 0px 2px, rgb(34, 34, 34) 0px 0px 0px 4px |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#000000`
- transition: `box-shadow 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.2, 0, 0, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- subtle: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.02) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.04) 0px 2px 6px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 4px 8px 0px`
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.02) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.16) 0px 2px 4px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 250ms (dominant) · 100ms · 300ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.2, 0, 0, 1)` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0, 0, 1, 1)`
- animated properties: transform, box-shadow, background-color, color

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

## Their own tokens (verbatim from :root)

| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| `--elevation-sharp-edge-background` | `rgba(0,0,0,0.08)` |
| `--palette-black` | `#000000` |
| `--palette-hof` | `#222222` |
| `--palette-foggy` | `#6A6A6A` |
| `--palette-bobo` | `#B0B0B0` |
| `--palette-deco` | `#DDDDDD` |
| `--palette-bebe` | `#EBEBEB` |
| `--palette-faint` | `#F7F7F7` |
| `--palette-white` | `#FFFFFF` |
| `--palette-arches` | `#C13515` |
| `--palette-arches2` | `#B32505` |
| `--palette-arches12` | `#FFF8F6` |

_…and 108 more measured on the page._

Prefer these names when extending their system — it's the brand's actual vocabulary.

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1440px · common grid: 3-col
- nav: 96px

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 201 | 2281 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 616 | 204 | 3 | — | 16/16 | — |

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.spp1z2k` @0ms → `span.u4v6jzs`×3 @1472ms → `button.l1ovpqvx` @1739ms → `div.c5vrlhl` @1739ms
- `div.c5vrlhl` — opacity 1→1 · translate 0% 100%→0% 0% · scale 1→1 — 150ms
- stagger: `span` ×3 — 150ms apart
- overlay dialog (auto-opened): panel #FFFFFF · r 32px · shadow rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.28) 0px 8px 28px 0px
  - enter: transform from translate(0px, 100px) · 400ms linear | opacity from 0 · 75ms linear
  - exit: transform from translate(0px) · 150ms linear | opacity from 1 · 75ms linear

Rebuild the timeline, not just the durations — order, delays and staggers above are the choreography.

## Components (measured)
- link: #222222 · underline
- disabled: bg #F2F2F2 · text #C1C1C1

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 744px
- mobile (390px): hero 28px · body 14px · 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.
