Decoded design system

dbt's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #030711, accent #FE6703, link #FFF7E6, primary #FFAE00; type scale h1 64px / h2 32px / body 18px; 4px spacing base; 0px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #FE6703 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#FFFFFF`
surface	`#EFF0F0`
border	`#D9D9DB`
text	`#030711`
text_muted	`#62656B`
primary	`#FFAE00`
accent	`#FE6703`
link	`#FFF7E6`
secondary	`#FF8C00`
button_bg	`#FE6703`
button_text	`#030711`

Using these colors

Action color #FE6703 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
accent, button_bg are all #FE6703 — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #FE6703 — 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 #FFAE00 — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #FE6703, not this.
link #FFF7E6 — 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 #FF8C00 — 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.
