LinkedIn Mobile — Design System
LinkedIn Mobile — palette measured from official store listing screenshots (colors only; no font claims). Type scale shown is the platform HIG default.
This is a static, crawlable rendering for search & AI engines. The interactive version — filters, live decode console, copy & export — is at https://mozaika.design/ds/linkedin-mobile.
Tokens
LinkedIn Mobile's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #000000, accent #0A66C2, link #0A66C2, primary #0A66C2; type scale h1 34px / h2 22px / body 17px; 6px spacing base; 12px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #0A66C2 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.
