Decoded design system

Perplexity Mobile's decoded design system: background #1A1A1A, text #929291, accent #BD604C, link #BD604C, primary #BD604C; type scale h1 34px / h2 22px / body 17px; 8px spacing base; 12px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #BD604C — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#1A1A1A`
surface	`#212121`
border	`#2C2C2B`
text	`#929291`
text_muted	`#646463`
primary	`#BD604C`
accent	`#BD604C`
link	`#BD604C`
button_bg	`#BD604C`
button_text	`#1A1A1A`

Using these colors

Action color #BD604C — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
primary, accent, link, button_bg are all #BD604C — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #BD604C — 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.
