Retool — design system & UI screens

Dev Tools · 2 screens · 14 sections · retool.com

Near-black landing page whose hero, "Secure your vibe-coded apps," floats a tilted product dashboard mockup with an inline AI command bar and order-management table over a soft glow, set against thin centered headlines. Below it a dense mosaic of real Retool app screenshots ("Apps that mean business") and a long stack of dark governance panels build the scroll, broken by a grayscale enterprise logo wall (Amazon, Electronic Arts, DoorDash) and metric-led customer case-study cards in mint green. The signature element is the chromatic, iridescent 3D wireframe "2026" sculpture and matching liquid-metal hand renders near the closing "Start today" and blog sections, giving the otherwise utilitarian dark page a high-craft, futuristic accent.

Decoded design system

Retool's decoded design system: background #151515, text #ECECEE, accent #E9EBDF, link #5B67E7, primary #518DD2; type scale h1 72px / h2 48px / body 14px; 4px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #E9EBDF — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#151515`
surface	`#212122`
border	`#353535`
text	`#ECECEE`
text_muted	`#9A9A9B`
primary	`#518DD2`
accent	`#E9EBDF`
link	`#5B67E7`
secondary	`#003366`
button_bg	`#E9EBDF`
button_text	`#151515`

Using these colors

Action color #E9EBDF — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
accent, button_bg are all #E9EBDF — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #E9EBDF — 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 #518DD2 — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #E9EBDF, not this.
link #5B67E7 — inline text links and link-styled controls.
secondary #003366 — 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.
