Census keeps data activation matter-of-fact: Inter at 44px/700 in near-black #222222 on white, 16px body, cobalt #306BEA buttons at a sharp 4px radius. Pipeline diagrams and warehouse logos carry the argument without a single decorative flourish — the design system of a company betting that in data infrastructure, plain speech is the premium look.

Tokens

Census's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #222222, accent #306BEA, link #8CB1FF, primary #306BEA; type scale h1 44px / h2 12px / body 12px; 4px spacing base; 4px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #306BEA — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#FFFFFF`
surface	`#F1F1F1`
border	`#DDDDDD`
text	`#222222`
text_muted	`#757575`
primary	`#306BEA`
accent	`#306BEA`
link	`#8CB1FF`
secondary	`#001525`
button_bg	`#306BEA`
button_text	`#FFFFFF`

Using these colors

Action color #306BEA — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
primary, accent, button_bg are all #306BEA — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #306BEA — 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.
link #8CB1FF — fails contrast on the background (~2.1:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).
secondary #001525 — 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.
