Tuple — Design System
Tuple keeps pair programming programmer-plain: Inter Variable at 60px/600 for 'the best remote pair programming app', 16-18px body, 4px-radius buttons, and zinc greys throughout. Call UI screenshots and latency claims do the selling to an audience allergic to marketing — a tool by developers whose landing page respects that the reader is one.

Tokens
Tuple's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #27272A, accent #6A5ED9, link #DCFCE7, primary #6A5ED9; type scale h1 60px / h2 20px / body 16px; 4px spacing base; 6px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #6A5ED9 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.
Color roles
| Role | Value |
|---|---|
| bg | #FFFFFF |
| surface | #F2F2F2 |

Using these colors
- Action color
#6A5ED9— the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills. primary,accent,button_bgare all#6A5ED9— one role, not several (the action color).- accent
#6A5ED9— 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
#DCFCE7— fails contrast on the background (~1.1:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference). - secondary
#16A34A— 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.
