# Design Brief: Dark Developer (with Minimal Monochrome)

Deep dark surfaces, monospace typography, terminal/code snippets, and high-precision borders.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #1c141a;
  --surface: #0a0a0a;
  --foreground: #fafafa;
  --muted-foreground: #d4d4d4;
  --accent: #7655ff;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "-apple-system", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "-apple-system", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "SFMono-Regular", ui-monospace, monospace;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #1C141A (~78%) · Surface #0A0A0A (~8%) · Text #FAFAFA (~7%) · Muted Text #D4D4D4 (~4%) · Accent #7655FF (~3%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
