real render · source of truth

upstash.com is built on a mid-dark canvas (oklch(0.97 0 0)). The system uses rgb(0, 188, 125) as the high-saturation accent for primary actions. Sharp 0px corners on CTAs — architectural restraint, engineering precision alongside __Inter_Tight_a3c0d3 as the primary typeface. __Inter_Tight_a3c0d3 is paired with __Inter_Fallback_f367f3 for secondary roles. A layered elevation system (7 distinct shadows) building a clear front-to-back hierarchy. Motion is a first-class concern — 6 keyframe animations plus transition-driven interactions.

Do's & Don'ts

23 enforceable rules pulled verbatim from the spec

Use Off-White (`#f5f5f5`) as the page background — it's intentionally not pure white

Use Text (`#022c22`) for text — not pure black, it's warmer and more readable

Use negative letter-spacing (-3.2px) at display sizes for compressed, editorial headlines

Use the extracted shadow patterns for elevation — they are tuned to match the brand palette

Use full-pill radius (9999px) only for specific elements (avatars, pills, toggles)

Use Primary (`#00bc7d`) as the primary accent — it's the brand's signature interactive color

Use 12px border-radius on buttons — the standard corner rounding for interactive elements

Apply 32px padding inside cards — matches the design system's content breathing room

Use 16px border-radius on cards — consistent with the grid card corners

Maintain nav height at 40px — consistent vertical space for the navigation bar

Respect the 6px–80px spacing range — the design uses a wide scale for visual breathing room

Use a single primary CTA in the hero — the design intentionally avoids choice paralysis

Each card uses an icon (not photo) — the visual language is illustrative, not photographic

Don't

Don't use pure white (`#ffffff`) as a page background — the warm tone is part of the brand identity

Don't use pure black (`#000000`) for text — the near-black adds warmth

Don't increase letter-spacing on headings — the type is designed to run tight at scale

Don't invent new shadow values — use only the extracted shadow levels

Don't apply pill radius on rectangular buttons or cards — it's reserved for specific interactive elements

Don't introduce additional saturated accent colors — the palette is intentionally controlled

Don't collapse or hide the nav on scroll without an explicit scroll-triggered animation — the design uses fixed nav presence

Don't make the nav sticky — this design lets it scroll away to maximize content focus

Don't put a CTA button in the nav — this design uses links only at the top

Don't over-build the footer — this design keeps it minimal (1 cols, 6 links)
