# Design Brief: Gradient Glow (with Editorial)
Luminous radial glows and translucent glass panels, widely used across modern AI products.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #302075;
--surface: #f7f7f8;
--foreground: #ffffff;
--muted-foreground: #c6bedf;
--accent: #7552d8;
--radius: 9999px;
--font-heading: "Georgia", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #302075 (~71%) · Surface #F7F7F8 (~15%) · Text #FFFFFF (~5%) · Muted Text #C6BEDF (~4%) · Accent #7552D8 (~5%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
