Descript — design system & UI screens

AI · 1 screen · 11 sections · descript.com

Deep oxblood/maroon hero with a large high-contrast serif headline ("AI-editing for every kind of video") set left-of-center over a floating product-UI composite showing the editor canvas plus an "Underlord" AI chat panel; tiny circular video avatars line the far edges. The page alternates cream and dark-maroon bands, each feature band built from three or four full-bleed photo/screenshot cards with rounded corners, and the signature element is the recurring coral-orange "Get started" pill CTA against the saturated maroon. It closes with a four-column pricing table (Free/Hobbyist/Creator with a "Most Popular" Creator card) above a dark mega-footer.

Decoded design system

Descript's decoded design system: background #FFF7FA, text #1A1A1A, accent #F73B3B, link #651A39, primary #390A1A; type scale h1 88px / h2 40px / body 18px; 8px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #F73B3B — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#FFF7FA`
surface	`#F1E9EC`
border	`#DCD5D8`
text	`#1A1A1A`
text_muted	`#716D6F`
primary	`#390A1A`
accent	`#F73B3B`
link	`#651A39`
secondary	`#3F2A32`
button_bg	`#F73B3B`
button_text	`#FFF7FD`

Using these colors

Action color #F73B3B — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
accent, button_bg are all #F73B3B — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #F73B3B — 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 #390A1A — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #F73B3B, not this.
link #651A39 — inline text links and link-styled controls.
secondary #3F2A32 — 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.
