Tokens

n8n's decoded design system: background #0E0918, text #ECECEE, accent #0E0918, link #0E0918, primary #1A1524; type scale h1 16px / h2 48px / body 15px; 4px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #0E0918 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

# n8n — Design System

> dark, modern, medium, tailwind — deep decode (measured live)

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#0E0918` |
| surface | `#1B1624` |
| border | `#2F2B38` |
| text | `#ECECEE` |
| text_muted | `#97959C` |
| primary | `#1A1524` |
| accent | `#0E0918` |
| link | `#0E0918` |
| secondary | `#1B1728` |
| button_bg | `#0E0918` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#0E0918` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `primary` `#1A1524`, `secondary` `#1B1728` are visually the same color (Δ7) — treat as one role.
- `accent`, `link`, `button_bg` are all `#0E0918` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#0E0918` — 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.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#0E0918` 65.1% · `#1C1728` 23.7% · `#735255` 11.2%

## Typography

- Heading: **Geomanist** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Geomanist** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 48px / 400 · lh 48px · tracking -0.96px |
| h2 | 24px / 400 · lh 36px |
| h3 | 20px / 400 · lh 30px |
| body | 16px / 400 · lh 24px |
| small | 15px / 400 · lh 15px |
| eyebrow | 12px / 600 · tracking 1px |

- Weight ladder: 300 · 400 · 500 · 600 · 700 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

> **Fonts —** Geomanist may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts).

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 7px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 18px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 40px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 64px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 8px
- button: 8px
- card: 8px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#EE4F27` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 8px | 0px 17px 0px 17px | 700 12px / 0.4px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#FFFFFF` | none | 8px | 0px 12px 0px 12px | 400 14px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#F05E39`
- primary focus: outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`
- transition: `all 0.1s ease-in-out`

## Motion
- durations: 300ms (dominant) · 200ms · 150ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.46, 0.45, 0.94)`
- animated properties: background-color, transform, border, color

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

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1120px · common grid: 2-col
- nav: 66px fixed

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.c-marquee-track`×2 @0ms → `div.nuxt-loading-indicator`×2 @836ms
- scroll reveal: 12 elements rest at opacity 0, translateY(25px) (9 revealed during the drive).
- overlay dropdown (auto-opened): panel oklab(0.155427 0.014995 -0.0281669 / 0.2) · r 16px
  - enter: opacity from 0 · 300ms ease | transform from translateY(-8px) · 300ms ease-out
  - exit: opacity from 0 · 300ms ease | transform from translateY(-8px) · 300ms ease-out

Rebuild the timeline, not just the durations — order, delays and staggers above are the choreography.

## Components (measured)
- link: #D1CECE · no underline — hover #FFFFFF

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 390px · 440px · 640px · 768px · 1024px · 1280px
- mobile (390px): body 16px · nav: hamburger

## 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.
Hover/focus states, shadows and motion timings above are measured from the live page — match them exactly, don't re-guess them.
