Monarch gives personal finance an editorial calm: Copernicus serif at 48px on a precise 350 weight — lighter than book, warmer than light — over linen #F6F5F3, with ABC Oracle at 18px in the working text. Sankey flows and budget dashboards supply the color; a single tangerine #FF692D full-pill CTA supplies the push. Money software that reads like a well-designed annual report for your life.

Using these colors

Action color #FF692D — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
primary, accent, button_bg are all #FF692D — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #FF692D — 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.
link #F35B16 — inline text links and link-styled controls.
secondary #9499AD — 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.
