# Design Brief: Soft & Friendly
Warm low-saturation pastels, generous rounded corners, and approachable illustrations.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #f6f4ef;
--surface: #f3f1ec;
--foreground: #111111;
--muted-foreground: #5e5e5e;
--accent: #8b7cf6;
--radius: 16px;
--font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #F6F4EF (~46%) · Surface #F3F1EC (~28%) · Text #111111 (~14%) · Muted Text #5E5E5E (~8%) · Accent #8B7CF6 (~4%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
