Tokens

Spotify Mobile's decoded design system: background #121212, text #FFFFFF, accent #08FF01, link #08FF01, primary #08FF01; type scale h1 34px / h2 22px / body 17px; 4px spacing base; 12px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #08FF01 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #08FF01 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent, link, button_bg are all #08FF01 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #08FF01 — 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.

# Spotify Mobile — Design System

> dark, consumer, high — deep decode (measured live)

Spotify Mobile — palette measured from official store listing screenshots (colors only; no font claims). Type scale shown is the platform HIG default.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#121212` |
| surface | `#202020` |
| border | `#353535` |
| text | `#FFFFFF` |
| text_muted | `#A4A4A4` |
| primary | `#08FF01` |
| accent | `#08FF01` |
| link | `#08FF01` |
| button_bg | `#08FF01` |
| button_text | `#121212` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#08FF01` — 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`, `link`, `button_bg` are all `#08FF01` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#08FF01` — 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): `#141415` 43.7% · `#EEEEEE` 40% · `#ACB0B0` 8.6% · `#403231` 6.1%

## Typography


| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 24px / 700 |
| h2 | 18px / 600 · lh 23px |
| body | 14px / 400 · lh 19px |
| small | 12px / 400 |
| eyebrow | 14px / 600 · tracking 1.4px |

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

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 28px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 40px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 12px
- button: 12px
- card: 6px
- pill: 9999px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#EEEEEE` / `#181818` | none | 500px | 0px 0px 0px 0px | 600 14px / 1.4px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#B3B3B3` | none | 9999px | 4px 16px 4px 36px | 700 14px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: outline `1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0)`
- secondary hover: color `#FFFFFF` · transform `matrix(1.04, 0, 0, 1.04, 0, 0)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) 0px 8px 8px 0px`
- overlay: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 0px 8px 24px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 150ms (dominant) · 200ms · 250ms
- easings: `ease-out` (dominant) · `cubic-bezier(0.3, 0, 0, 1)`
- animated properties: transform, background-color, opacity, color

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

## Their own tokens (verbatim from :root)

| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| `--essential-announcement` | `#1278f2` |
| `--background-base` | `#121212` |
| `--background-elevated-press` | `#191919` |
| `--background-elevated-highlight` | `#2a2a2a` |

| `--text-positive` | `#1ed760` |
| `--background-elevated-base` | `#1f1f1f` |
| `--end-gradient-color` | `#000000` |

_…and 99 more measured on the page._

Prefer these names when extending their system — it's the brand's actual vocabulary.

## Layout (measured)
- common grid: 2-col
- nav: 754px

| Section (y) | Height | Cols | Gap | Pad y | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 64 | 1743 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 443 | 306 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 772 | 348 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 1144 | 304 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 1471 | 304 | — | — | 0/0 | — |
| 1807 | 480 | — | — | 40/0 | — |
| 1936 | 242 | 2 | — | 0/0 | 85/15 |

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.otFlat` @0ms → `circle.qeO5DKKK4gB916pl`×3 @42ms → `div.os-scrollbar-handle` @504ms → `button.e-10451-legacy-button` @641ms → `div.os-scrollbar-handle` @680ms → `p.e-10451-text`×8 @680ms
- `img.obD7rdENNc2n3fC0` ×24 — opacity 0→1 — 250ms ease-out
- scroll reveal: 3 elements rest at opacity 0, animate in over 0.15s ease-out (0 revealed during the drive).
- overlay dialog (auto-opened): panel rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) · r 0px

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

## Components (measured)
- input: h 48px · r 500px · bg #1F1F1F · placeholder #B3B3B3
  - focus ring: `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)` — this exact construction, don't invent your own
- link: #FFFFFF · no underline
- disabled: bg rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) · text #B3B3B3

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 425px · 550px · 600px · 768px · 896px · 1024px
- mobile (390px): hero 16px · body 16px · nav: inline

## 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.
