6. Design Notes

Warm neutrals: All grays pull toward brown (#6d6560) not blue or green. Matches the maternal, earthy Instagram aesthetic.

No pure black or white: Charcoal (#1a1917) and Linen (#f7f5f2) reduce harsh contrast while still exceeding AAA. Feels softer.

Accent colors shift between modes: Pastels (Sky #8ea6d1, Blush #fac4a6) are the "real" brand colors and shine on dark. Darkened variants (Sky Dark, Sienna) maintain the same hue for light mode AA compliance.

Ocean green is the anchor: #3c4d49 is their most distinctive, ownable color. It passes AAA on white without modification — rare for a brand color.

No visible card borders: Cards use shadow only. Rounded corners with visible borders read as generic/templated.

Single font family: Apercu Trial for everything. Headings use weight 500 (Medium), body uses 300 (Light). Upload all four OTF files (light, light italic, medium, medium italic) in Webflow Project Settings.
