Tokens

Vite's decoded design system: background #16171D, text #ECECEE, accent #FFFFFF, link #2C1D22, primary #313641; type scale h1 60px / h2 48px / body 14px; 4px spacing base; 4px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #FFFFFF — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#16171D`
surface	`#222329`
border	`#36363C`
text	`#ECECEE`
text_muted	`#9A9B9E`
primary	`#313641`
accent	`#FFFFFF`
link	`#2C1D22`
secondary	`#FEBDC5`
button_bg	`#FFFFFF`
button_text	`#16171D`

Using these colors

Action color #FFFFFF — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
accent, button_bg are all #FFFFFF — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #FFFFFF — 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 #313641 — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #FFFFFF, not this.
link #2C1D22 — 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 #FEBDC5 — 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.

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#FFFFFF` — 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 `#FFFFFF` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#FFFFFF` — 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** `#313641` — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #FFFFFF, not this.
- **link** `#2C1D22` — 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** `#FEBDC5` — 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

- Heading: **Inter**
