## Overview

Tailwind CSS - Rapidly build modern websites without ever leaving your HTML.: Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building modern websites without ever leaving your HTML.

Soft, well-rounded controls, layered shadows for depth, large display type at 96px / 400, a single neutral accent on neutrals. The site ships in light mode by default. Measured from 2349 rendered elements at 1440px wide on 2026-09-28.

## Colors

| Token | Value | Use |
| --- | --- | --- |
| background | `#ffffff` | Page background |
| foreground | `#ffffff` | Primary text |
| muted-foreground | `#000000` | Secondary text, captions |
| primary | `#000000` | Accent: primary buttons, links, focus |
| on-primary | `#ffffff` | Text on the accent |

Full painted palette by area (largest first): `#ffffff`, `#000000`.

Gradients in use: `radial-gradient(oklab(0.129999 -0.00404751 -0.027702 / 0.05) 1px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px)`; `repeating-linear-gradient(315deg, oklab(0 0 0 / 0.05) 0px, oklab(0 0 0 / 0.05) 1px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 50%)`; `linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 50%, lab(1.90334 0.278696 -5.48866) 100%)`.

The accent `#000000` is used sparingly: primary buttons, links and focus rings. Everything else stays neutral.

## Typography

- **inter** for h1, h2, h3, body, button, code: Google Fonts (inter).
- **plexMono** for label: self-hosted webfont, not freely available; use **Inter** from Google Fonts as the stand-in.

| headline-md | inter | 36px | 600 | 1.33 | normal |
| body-md | inter | 14px | 400 | 2 | normal |
| label-md | plexMono | 12px | 400 | 2 | normal |
| button | inter | 14px | 400 | 1.71 | normal |

## Dark Mode

Both themes exist; the default render is light and the light theme was reached via data-theme=light. Token pairs, light → dark:

| Token | Light | Dark |
| --- | --- | --- |
| background | `#ffffff` | `#ffffff` |
| foreground | `#ffffff` | `#ffffff` |

Light-theme shadows: `oklab(0.999994 0.0000455678 0.0000200868 / 0.1) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset`; `oklab(0.999994 0.0000455678 0.0000200868 / 0.05) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset`; `oklab(0.999994 0.0000455678 0.0000200868 / 0.2) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset, oklab(0.129999 -0.00404751 -0.027702 / 0.1) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 3px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 2px -1px`; `oklab(0.999994 0.0000455678 0.0000200868 / 0.1) 0px 0px 0px 1px`

## Responsive Behavior

| Viewport | Content width | Gutter | Body | H1 | Header | Hero | Grids | Buttons |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| desktop 1440px | 1360px | 40px | 16px | 96px, 2 lines, start |  | text only | 2→2 col; 4→4 col; 2→2 col | content-width |
| laptop 1024px | 944px | 40px | 16px | 60px, 2 lines, start |  | text only | 2→2 col; 3→3 col; 2→1 col | content-width |
| tablet 768px | 720px | 24px | 16px | 48px, 2 lines, start |  | text only | 2→2 col; 2→1 col; 2→2 col | content-width |
| phone 390px | 358px | 0px | 16px | 36px, 3 lines, start |  | text only | 2→2 col; 2→1 col; 3→1 col | 1 full-width |

- H1 goes 96px → 36px (38%), 2 → 3 lines.
- Card grids: 4 columns → 2 columns on phones (gap 40px → 20px).
- Body text stays 16px at every width.
- Phone side gutter 0px.
- 1 buttons stretch full-width on phones.

## Interaction & Motion

258 elements carry transitions; typical 0.15s with cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1), mostly on opacity, color, background-color. 1 running keyframe animations (ping 1s infinite).

- Hover on button-primary ("Get started"): no visible change; cursor pointer.
- Focus on button-primary: outline 1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16), offset 1px.
- No tooltip could be triggered from the first viewport, but the stylesheet defines tooltip rules (.group-data-\[tooltip-hover\=true\]\:opacity-100:is(:where(.group)[data-tooltip-hover="true"] *)): opacity: 1.
- 1 aria-haspopup triggers exist; none opened on hover (click-to-open menus).
- No scroll-reveal: content is visible without scrolling into view.
- Overlay library detected: headlessui.

Full detail (every overlay, table, form, scroll and text rule measured) is in `BEHAVIOR.md`; raw evidence in `evidence.json`.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use 8px multiples for every padding, margin and gap; the site does not use odd values.
- Do reserve `#000000` for actions and focus; never paint large areas with it.
- Do keep body text at 14px in inter.
- Do match corner radii per element class (buttons 32px, cards 8px); do not pick one radius for everything.
- Do use the measured shadows above; do not invent heavier ones.
- Don't substitute a different accent hue or introduce gradients that are not listed above.
- Don't rebuild from the tokens alone; open the screenshots for composition, density and image treatment.
- Note: The primary action colour is the ink colour (monochrome palette); chromatic colours appear only as small accents.
- Note: Body text contrast is 1.0:1 against the page background (below 4.5:1).
