Robinhood — Design System
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.

Tokens
Robinhood's decoded design system: background #000000, text #ECECEE, accent #CCFF00, link #1C180D, primary #CCFF00; type scale h1 84px / h2 52px / body 16px; 8px spacing base; 10px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #CCFF00 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Using these colors
- Action color
#CCFF00— the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills. primary,accent,button_bgare all#CCFF00— one role, not several (the 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.

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.

**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.

## 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.
