These are the only colors you should reach for without thinking. Obsidian is our ground. Gold is our single warm signal. Nebula carries cool information. Everything else is a derivative.
Extended scales for when you need more than the core seven. Never invent outside these — if a ramp feels short, add a step to the existing scale, don't start a new one. Gold is 9 steps; Nebula and Obsidian are 10.
Four states: success, warning, error, info. We use them sparingly, never for decoration. A pill or a border — rarely a fill. Never place signal colors where they'll compete with Gold for attention.
An 8-point grid with two friendlier low steps (4, 12) and a monument tier (192) for the breathing room between sections. When in doubt, choose the next step up — Luminocity likes air.
Radius is soft but never playful. Elevation is rare — we use glow more often than shadow, because the brand lives in the dark and things should emit light, not cast it.
Four surfaces, stacked from deepest to highest. Borders step in lockstep — deeper surfaces have fainter borders. Never stack more than three levels; if you need more hierarchy, reach for type or glow, not another panel.
