Airtable — Design System

light · modern · medium · custom · confidence 90%

Airtable's AI-era reset runs on Neue Haas Grotesk at a restrained 40-48px in slate #333840, 14-16px working text, and zero-radius text CTAs. Platform diagrams and app-builder UI carry the story in Airtable's primary palette — the no-code darling now presenting itself with database seriousness, type quiet enough for the boardroom.

# Airtable — Design System

> light, modern, medium, custom

Airtable's AI-era reset runs on Neue Haas Grotesk at a restrained 40-48px in slate #333840, 14-16px working text, and zero-radius text CTAs. Platform diagrams and app-builder UI carry the story in Airtable's primary palette — the no-code darling now presenting itself with database seriousness, type quiet enough for the boardroom.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#F1F1F1` |
| border | `#DCDDDE` |
| text | `#181D26` |
| text_muted | `#6F7278` |
| primary | `#525965` |
| accent | `#FCAB79` |
| link | `#F0F6FF` |
| secondary | `#FFEAB6` |
| button_bg | `#181D26` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#181D26` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- **accent** `#FCAB79` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **primary** `#525965` — a neutral UI color (chips, tags, icon fills, chrome), not the action color (action = #181D26).
- **link** `#F0F6FF` — fails contrast on the background (~1.1:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).
- **secondary** `#FFEAB6` — 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.

## Typography

- Heading: **Haas** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
