Tokens

Caraway's decoded design system: background #FCFCF9, text #000000, accent #C12F28, link #C12F28, primary #1F3438; type scale h1 48px / h2 20px / body 14.4px; 4px spacing base; 3px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #1F3438 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

# Caraway — Design System

> light, modern, medium, custom

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FCFCF9` |
| surface | `#ECECEA` |
| border | `#D6D6D3` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#5F5F5E` |
| primary | `#1F3438` |
| accent | `#C12F28` |
| link | `#C12F28` |
| secondary | `#FBF3E0` |
| button_bg | `#1F3438` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#1F3438` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `primary`, `button_bg` are all `#1F3438` — one role, not several (your action color).
- `accent`, `link` are all `#C12F28` — one role, not several.
- **accent** `#C12F28` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **secondary** `#FBF3E0` — 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: **Suisse Works** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
