Trigger.dev — Design System

dark · modern · medium · tailwind · confidence 90%

Trigger.dev builds its page like a terminal session: Satoshi at 60px/600 floats over scrolling log output, Geist handles the 18px body, and buttons are zero-radius ghost outlines that could be TUI widgets. Section headings drop to 20px eyebrow scale because the code samples are the real headlines — background jobs marketed in the medium they run in.

# Trigger.dev — Design System

> dark, modern, medium, tailwind

Trigger.dev builds its page like a terminal session: Satoshi at 60px/600 floats over scrolling log output, Geist handles the 18px body, and buttons are zero-radius ghost outlines that could be TUI widgets. Section headings drop to 20px eyebrow scale because the code samples are the real headlines — background jobs marketed in the medium they run in.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#121317` |
| surface | `#1D1E22` |
| border | `#2F3034` |
| text | `#D7D9DD` |
| text_muted | `#8C8D91` |
| primary | `#878C99` |
| accent | `#16171B` |
| link | `#5F6570` |
| secondary | `#6B7280` |
| button_bg | `#16171B` |
| button_text | `#D7D9DD` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#16171B` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `accent`, `button_bg` are all `#16171B` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#16171B` — 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** `#878C99` — a neutral UI color (chips, tags, icon fills, chrome), not the action color (action = #16171B).
- **link** `#5F6570` — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #16171B).
- **secondary** `#6B7280` — 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.

## Typography
