Decoded design system

SoundCloud Mobile's decoded design system: background #121212, text #FFFFFF, accent #4D230D, link #4D230D, primary #4D230D; type scale h1 34px / h2 22px / body 17px; 8px spacing base; 12px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #4D230D — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#121212`
surface	`#202020`
border	`#353535`
text	`#FFFFFF`
text_muted	`#A4A4A4`
primary	`#4D230D`
accent	`#4D230D`
link	`#4D230D`
button_bg	`#4D230D`
button_text	`#121212`

Using these colors

Action color #4D230D — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
primary, accent, link, button_bg are all #4D230D — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #4D230D — 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.
