Tokens
Postman's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #212121, accent #140B1E, link #140B1E, primary #0265D2; type scale h1 55px / h2 36px / body 12px; 4px spacing base; 6px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #140B1E — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Using these colors
- Action color
#140B1E— the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills. accent,linkare all#140B1E— one role, not several (the action color).- accent
#140B1E— 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
#0265D2— a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #140B1E, not this. - secondary
#FF6C37— 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.
