Tokens

Darkmatter UI's decoded design system: background #121113, text #C1C1C1, accent #E78A53, link #E78A53, primary #E78A53; type scale h1 36px / h2 24px / body 14px; 4px spacing base; 12px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #E78A53 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.
