# Robinhood — Design System

> dark, modern, high, custom — deep decode (measured live)

Robinhood's 2025 face is editorial: Martina Plantijn serif at 84px/400 ('The World is Flat') over cinematic black, Phonic at 52px for section voices, and Capsule Sans on lime #CCFF00 36px-radius pills. Gold-hued product film and manifesto headlines recast the trading app as a financial magazine cover — retail investing styled with old-money typography and new-money color.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#000000` |
| surface | `#0E0E0E` |
| border | `#232323` |
| text | `#ECECEE` |
| text_muted | `#929293` |
| primary | `#CCFF00` |
| accent | `#CCFF00` |
| link | `#1C180D` |
| secondary | `#0000EE` |
| button_bg | `#CCFF00` |
| button_text | `#110E08` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#CCFF00` — 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`, `button_bg` are all `#CCFF00` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#CCFF00` — 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** `#1C180D` — fails contrast on the background (~1.2:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference).
- **secondary** `#0000EE` — 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.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#21201D` 74.6% · `#FFFFFF` 11.1% · `#899A43` 7.3% · `#DBDBDA` 3.5%

## Typography

## 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.
