Val Town ships apps from a storybook: Sprig Sans at 48px/400 over isometric town illustrations, IBM Plex Sans for the working text and 8px-radius buttons. Code vals render as friendly postcards — a serverless platform drawn like a neighborhood, where deploying is walking down the street.

Tokens

Val Town's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #000000, accent #00BCFF, link #00BCFF, primary #B8E6FE; type scale h1 48px / h2 48px / body 18px; 4px spacing base; 0px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #00BCFF — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#FFFFFF`
surface	`#EFEFEF`
border	`#D8D8D8`
text	`#000000`
text_muted	`#606060`
primary	`#B8E6FE`
accent	`#00BCFF`
link	`#00BCFF`
secondary	`#052F4A`
button_bg	`#00BCFF`
button_text	`#052F4A`

Using these colors

Action color #00BCFF — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
accent, link, button_bg are all #00BCFF — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #00BCFF — 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 #B8E6FE — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #00BCFF, not this.
secondary #052F4A — 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.
