Neutral Modern design system.
Neutral Modern design system — A clean, product-oriented default. Use when the brief doesn't call for a specific mood — good for B2B tools, dashboards, and utility pages.

The same design tokens applied across artifact kinds — a website, an app, a slide, a poster. Original mocks re-skinned with this system, not screenshots.

Neutral Modern
Category: Starter A clean, product-oriented default. Use when the brief doesn’t call for a specific mood — good for B2B tools, dashboards, and utility pages.
Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Calm, functional, quietly confident. No ornament. Content-first, chrome-second.
Color Palette & Roles
- Background:
#FAFAFA - Foreground:
#111111 - Accent:
#2F6FEB(cobalt) — primary CTAs, links, one hero element per screen - Muted:
#6B6B6B— secondary text, captions - Border:
#E5E5E5 - Surface:
#FFFFFF— cards, modals - Success:
#17A34A, Warn:#EAB308, Danger:#DC2626Never pure black; never pure white for backgrounds.
Typography Rules
- Display / headings:
'Inter', -apple-system, system-ui, sans-serif, weight 600 - Body:
'Inter', -apple-system, system-ui, sans-serif, weight 400 - Mono:
ui-monospace, 'JetBrains Mono', monospace - Scale (px): 12 · 14 · 16 · 20 · 24 · 32 · 48 · 64
- Line-height: 1.5 for body, 1.2 for headings
- Letter-spacing: -0.01em on display sizes ≥32px
Component Stylings
- Buttons: 8px radius, 10px padding-block, 16px padding-inline. Primary = cobalt fill, white label. Secondary = 1px border, transparent fill.
- Cards: white, 1px border, 12px radius, 20px internal padding, no shadow by default.
- Inputs: 1px border, 8px radius, 10px vertical padding, cobalt border on focus.
- Links: cobalt, no underline, underline on hover.
Layout Principles
- 12-column grid, 1200px max-width, 24px gutters.
- Hero: 40–60vh. Content top-biased, never centered vertically.
- Sections: 80px top+bottom spacing desktop, 48px tablet, 32px phone.
- Use whitespace as the main separator. Dividers only between unrelated top-level sections.
Depth & Elevation
Two levels only:
- Flat (0): default.
- Raised (1): dropdowns, modals, floating buttons. 2px y-offset, 8px blur, foreground at 8% opacity. No neumorphism, no glassmorphism.
Do’s and Don’ts
- ✅ Let whitespace do the work.
- ✅ One accent element per screen.
- ✅ Sentence-case headings by default; title case only for brand names.
- ❌ No gradients (except the accent → accent-at-80% on a hero, sparingly).
- ❌ No drop shadows on inputs.
- ❌ No more than three type sizes on one screen.
Responsive Behavior
- Desktop ≥ 1024px: 12-col grid.
- Tablet 640–1023px: 8-col grid, 16px gutters.
- Phone < 640px: 4-col grid, 12px gutters; hero drops to 40vh.
Agent Prompt Guide
- When in doubt, subtract. Fewer boxes, less chrome, more space.
- Use the accent color sparingly — at most one hero accent and one CTA accent per screen.
- Do not invent hex values outside this palette. If the request needs one, surface a warning comment in the artifact and use the closest existing token.
