What To Compare

Study how these systems document surfaces, accents, text contrast, semantic states, and token naming so color decisions remain durable across implementation.

What To Compare

Pay attention to token structure, contrast strategy, accent restraint, light/dark mode logic, and whether color intent is obvious from the system itself.

Recurring System Signals

  • Primary ( FFFFFF): Display text and the highest-intent CTA fill.
  • Secondary ( 1B1B1B): Quiet dark support action fill and panel tone.
  • Tertiary ( 8E8E93): Support copy, muted navigation, and low-priority labels.
  • Display: Very large, bold, tightly tracked, and tightly leaded.
  • Body: Neutral and readable, with restrained width under the hero.
  • Labels: Slightly heavier than body copy so small navigation items do not disappear on black.

Color Systems FAQ

What should I study on this page?

Study how these systems document surfaces, accents, text contrast, semantic states, and token naming so color decisions remain durable across implementation.

Why browse this as a dedicated DESIGN.md collection?

A focused collection makes it easier to compare how teams describe one system concern consistently across many examples instead of mixing unrelated signals on a single page.
