Tokens
Wealthsimple's decoded design system: background #FCFCFC, text #32302F, accent #F5F3EF, link #4B5763, primary #FEF8CA; type scale h1 64px / h2 48px / body 16px; 8px spacing base; 12px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #F5F3EF — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Using these colors
- Action color
#F5F3EF— the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills. accent,button_bgare all#F5F3EF— one role, not several (the action color).- accent
#F5F3EF— 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
#FEF8CA— a neutral UI color (chips, tags, icon fills, chrome), not the action color (action = #F5F3EF). - link
#4B5763— inline text links and link-styled controls. - secondary
#737A61— 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.
