Vintage Paper UI's decoded design system: background #F5F1E6, text #4A3F35, accent #A67C52, link #A67C52, primary #A67C52; type scale h1 36px / h2 24px / body 14px; 4px spacing base; 4px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #A67C52 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Using these colors

• Action color #A67C52 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
• primary, accent, link, button_bg are all #A67C52 — one role, not several (the action color).
• accent #A67C52 — 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.
