# Matcha Templates — Design System

> light, organic, calm, react

A cohesive open-source template design system — organic light theme with Playwrite US Trad headings.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#F0F0E0` |
| surface | `#E5E5D4` |
| border | `#D5D6C2` |
| text | `#3E481D` |
| text_muted | `#818767` |
| primary | `#3E481D` |
| accent | `#3E481D` |
| link | `#3E481D` |
| secondary | `#FFFFFF` |
| button_bg | `#3E481D` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#3E481D` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `primary`, `accent`, `link`, `button_bg` are all `#3E481D` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#3E481D` — 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.
- **secondary** `#FFFFFF` — 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: **Playwrite US Trad** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **DM Sans**
- h1: 31px
- h2: 25px
- body: 16px

> **Fonts —** Playwrite US Trad may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts). DM Sans — free, on Google.

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

## Radius
- base: 12px
- button: 12px

## Primary button
- bg `#3E481D` · text `#FFFFFF` · radius 12px

## Motion
- durations: 125ms (dominant) · 300ms

Micro-interactions use the dominant duration + easing; nothing on the page animates slower than the longest duration above — don't invent springier motion.

## 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.
