# Convex — Design System

> light, modern, medium, tailwind

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#F6EEDB` |
| surface | `#E8E0CF` |
| border | `#D4CDBD` |
| text | `#141414` |
| text_muted | `#69665F` |
| primary | `#F6EEDB` |
| accent | `#DE5D33` |
| link | `#444435` |
| secondary | `#ECE4D2` |
| button_bg | `#DE5D33` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#DE5D33` — 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 `#DE5D33` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#DE5D33` — 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** `#F6EEDB` — a neutral UI color (chips, tags, icon fills, chrome), not the action color (action = #DE5D33).
- **link** `#444435` — inline text links and link-styled controls.
- **secondary** `#ECE4D2` — 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: **GT America** _(free fallback: Inter)_
- Body: **GT America** _(free fallback: Inter)_
- h1: 42px
- h2: 32px
- body: 18px

> **Fonts —** GT America is proprietary — closest free match: Inter (Google). Load Inter; keep GT America first so licensed users still get it.

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px
- scale: 2px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 32px

## Radius
- base: 0px
- button: 9999px

## Primary button
- bg `#DE5D33` · text `#FFFFFF` · radius 9999px

## 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.

Export: Tailwind v4 (@theme)
