feat: warm palette overhaul — cold zinc/teal to warm stone/amber
Replace the entire color system with a design-driven warm palette: - Surface tokens: cold zinc grays → warm stone (#faf8f5 to #0f0e0d) - Accent tokens: cold teal → warm amber (#fffbeb to #451a03) - All bg-white → bg-surface-50 across templates (warm cream instead of pure white) - Critical CSS: all hardcoded hex values updated to warm palette - Prism code blocks: cold gray backgrounds → warm stone - Pagefind search UI: blue buttons/links → amber interactive colors - Dark mode: warm dark surfaces with amber accents throughout Design system documented in .interface-design/system.md Confab-Link: http://localhost:8080/sessions/bd3f7012-c703-47e9-bfe2-2ad04ce1842d

# Design System — rmendes.net
|
||||
|
||||
## Direction: Workshop Terminal
|
||||
|
||||
**Feel:** A well-configured terminal in a warm room. Structure is precise and technical. Warmth comes from surfaces and content, not decorative color. Color is signal, not decoration.
|
||||
|
||||
**Signature:** Chromatically quiet at rest, vivid in context. The base is warm monochrome. Color enters when content demands it — music pages glow purple, code pages pulse emerald, social feeds carry brand colors. You feel the shift as you navigate between worlds.
|
||||
|
||||
## Intent
|
||||
|
||||
**Who:** Visitors to a DevOps engineer's personal site — peers, recruiters, fellow IndieWeb enthusiasts, RSS subscribers. They're reading, browsing, discovering.
|
||||
|
||||
**What:** Read posts, explore interests, follow feeds, understand who this person is.
|
||||
|
||||
**How it should feel:** Like opening a well-used notebook in a workshop. Technical precision meets personal warmth. Not corporate, not cold, not decorative.
|
||||
|
||||
## Surfaces — Warm Stone
|
||||
|
||||
Warm neutral tones. Not yellow — just not cold. The difference is felt, not seen.
|
||||
|
||||
| Token | Light | Dark | Role |
|
||||
|-------|-------|------|------|
|
||||
| 50 | `#faf8f5` | — | Canvas background |
|
||||
| 100 | `#f4f2ee` | — | Card surfaces |
|
||||
| 200 | `#e8e5df` | — | Borders, dividers |
|
||||
| 300 | `#d5d0c8` | — | Strong borders |
|
||||
| 400 | `#a09a90` | — | Muted/placeholder text |
|
||||
| 500 | `#7a746a` | — | Secondary text |
|
||||
| 600 | `#5c5750` | — | — |
|
||||
| 700 | `#3f3b35` | — | Dark text secondary |
|
||||
| 800 | `#2a2722` | — | Card surfaces (dark) |
|
||||
| 900 | `#1c1b19` | — | Canvas (dark) |
|
||||
| 950 | `#0f0e0d` | — | Deepest dark |
|
||||
|
||||
## Text Hierarchy
|
||||
|
||||
| Level | Light | Dark | Usage |
|
||||
|-------|-------|------|-------|
|
||||
| Primary | surface-900 `#1c1b19` | surface-50 `#faf8f5` | Headlines, body |
|
||||
| Secondary | surface-600 `#5c5750` | surface-400 `#a09a90` | Supporting text |
|
||||
| Muted | surface-400 `#a09a90` | surface-600 `#5c5750` | Metadata, timestamps |
|
||||
| Faint | surface-300 `#d5d0c8` | surface-700 `#3f3b35` | Disabled, decorative |
|
||||
|
||||
## Interactive — Accent (Warm Amber)
|
||||
|
||||
Default interactive color for generic links, CTAs, focus rings. Terminal amber warmth.
|
||||
|
||||
| Weight | Value | Usage |
|
||||
|--------|-------|-------|
|
||||
| 400 | `#fbbf24` | Dark mode links, hover states |
|
||||
| 500 | `#f59e0b` | — |
|
||||
| 600 | `#d97706` | Light mode links, buttons |
|
||||
| 700 | `#b45309` | Light mode hover |
|
||||
|
||||
## Domain Colors
|
||||
|
||||
Each section of the site owns its chromatic identity. These override accent on their respective pages.
|
||||
|
||||
| Domain | Tailwind Color | Pages |
|
||||
|--------|---------------|-------|
|
||||
| Writing/Blog | amber (= accent) | blog, articles, notes, homepage |
|
||||
| Code/GitHub | emerald | github, repo widgets |
|
||||
| Music | violet | funkwhale, listening, last.fm |
|
||||
| Bluesky | `#0085ff` | social-activity bluesky tab |
|
||||
| Mastodon | `#a730b8` | social-activity mastodon tab |
|
||||
| Bookmarks | amber | bookmarks page |
|
||||
| Likes | rose | likes page |
|
||||
| Replies | sky | replies page |
|
||||
| Reposts | emerald | reposts page |
|
||||
| Photos | violet | photos page |
|
||||
| RSS/Podcasts | orange | podroll, subscribe, RSS links |
|
||||
| CV | neutral (no accent) | cv page |
|
||||
|
||||
## Typography
|
||||
|
||||
- **Body:** Inter — clean, technical sans-serif
|
||||
- **Metadata:** `font-mono` for dates, timestamps, stats, version numbers
|
||||
- **Headlines:** Inter bold, tight tracking
|
||||
|
||||
## Depth Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
**Borders only.** No drop shadows. Low-opacity warm borders define surfaces. Hierarchy comes from surface color shifts, not elevation effects.
|
||||
|
||||
## Spacing
|
||||
|
||||
Base: 4px (Tailwind default). No custom scale needed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Dark Mode
|
||||
|
||||
- Surfaces invert (dark warm canvas, lighter warm cards)
|
||||
- Domain colors use their 400-weight for dark mode (lighter/brighter)
|
||||
- Borders use warm low-opacity rgba
|
||||
- No shadows in either mode
