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; 4px 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.

Color roles

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; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
primary, accent, button_bg are 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.
