spectr.irung.me — Design System

1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere

Spectr is a color palette exploration tool, and its own design reflects that mission directly. The interface is clean and light — a near-white background that steps back and lets the subject matter (color) do the talking. The primary accent is a confident indigo-violet, built from a carefully calibrated hue-locked color system where every scale shares the same underlying hue (hsl(239, 69%, ...)) with only lightness varying. The result is a tool-like precision aesthetic with a hint of personality from the violet brand color.

2. Color Palette & Roles

Role Value Usage
Canvas rgb(250,250,250) Page background — barely off-white
White panel rgb(255,255,255) Cards, inputs, links
Border/divider rgb(228,228,231) Subtle gray borders throughout
Primary CTA rgb(113,115,229) Indigo-violet brand color
Lavender soft rgb(233,227,248) Secondary/ghost button bg
Deep purple rgb(36,44,61) Dark variant surface
Blue accent rgb(29,86,165) Alternative interaction color
Focus ring rgb(52,55,218) Keyboard focus indicator

The extended palette swatches (displayed as product content) range from rgb(225,225,249) through rgb(17,18,90) — a full 10-step indigo ramp that is both the app’s output and its visual identity.

3. Typography Rules

System sans-serif throughout — ui-sans-serif, system-ui. This is an intentional choice: the tool itself is about color, so typography recedes into pure utility. No custom typeface loaded.

  • h1: 24px / weight 700 — the only bold heading
  • h3/h4: 14–18px / weight 500 — card labels and section titles
  • body/a/button/input: 16px / weight 400 — consistent and flat
  • p: 14px / weight 400 — supporting text slightly smaller

No letter-spacing, no text-transform. Clean and unadorned.

4. Component Stylings

Buttons come in two clear variants: filled indigo rgb(113,115,229) and lavender-tinted ghost rgb(233,227,248). Border radius ranges from 4px to 24px and pill (3.35544e+07px) — suggesting a mix of sharp-edged data UI and pill-shaped badges. Card shadow system uses a stacked multi-layer approach with border ring rgb(228,228,231) plus diffused drop shadows.

5. Layout Principles

Simple vertical stacking — a single breakpoint at 600px suggests a focused, app-like layout that is primarily two states: compact mobile and wider desktop. No complex grid system. Content likely centered with max-width constraint.

6. Depth & Elevation

A layered shadow system combining:

  • 1px solid rgb(228,228,231) border ring
  • rgba(0,0,0,0.1) subtle drop shadows
  • Indigo-tinted shadow variants for hovered/active color swatches

Cards use 0px 1px 3px 0px drop shadow for basic elevation.

7. Do’s and Don’ts

Do: Use the indigo scale for interactive elements. Keep backgrounds near-white and let the color swatches command attention. Use system fonts — no custom typeface competes with the product’s color content.

Don’t: Add warm accent colors — the entire identity is cool indigo. Don’t use bold weights beyond h1. Don’t add decorative gradients or background patterns.

8. Responsive Behavior

A single breakpoint at 600px — desktop-to-mobile only. The tool likely reflows to a single column below that threshold.

9. Agent Prompt Guide

“Design in the style of spectr.irung.me: near-white canvas with system sans-serif, indigo-violet primary #7173e5, lavender ghost buttons, clean 1px border cards with subtle drop shadows, pill and rectangular radius mix, precise color-tool UI aesthetic.”
