Grafana — Design System

light · professional · medium · tailwind · confidence 92%

Grafana wears geometric Poppins at 60px/600 like a friendly observability mascot — round, open, nothing like a terminal — over a soft #F4F4F6 canvas with Inter at 16px doing the reading. Dashboards supply the color riot (that's the product's job), #1B55F5 buttons at 8px radius supply the action, and the footer signs off with a donut pun. Open-source seriousness with a grin.

# Grafana — Design System

> light, professional, medium, tailwind

Grafana wears geometric Poppins at 60px/600 like a friendly observability mascot — round, open, nothing like a terminal — over a soft #F4F4F6 canvas with Inter at 16px doing the reading. Dashboards supply the color riot (that's the product's job), #1B55F5 buttons at 8px radius supply the action, and the footer signs off with a donut pun. Open-source seriousness with a grin.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#F4F4F6` |
| surface | `#EBEBEE` |
| border | `#DEDEE4` |
| text | `#67677E` |
| text_muted | `#9C9CAB` |
| primary | `#FAD8AC` |
| accent | `#1B55F5` |
| link | `#1B55F5` |
| secondary | `#67677E` |
| button_bg | `#1B55F5` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#1B55F5` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `accent`, `link`, `button_bg` are all `#1B55F5` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#1B55F5` — 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** `#FAD8AC` — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #1B55F5, not this.
- **secondary** `#67677E` — 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.
