# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome (with Soft & Friendly)

Monochrome palette with a single accent color, hairline dividers, and generous whitespace.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #eff8fc;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #1d303e;
  --muted-foreground: #a7afbb;
  --accent: #192f40;
  --radius: 9999px;
  --font-heading: "Lato", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Lato", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #EFF8FC (~62%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~23%) · Text #1D303E (~7%) · Muted Text #A7AFBB (~5%) · Accent #192F40 (~3%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Split Copy & Visual
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Pill; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Photography / Live Video
- Conversion CTA: Direct Checkout / View Pricing · Trust bar uses Customer / Press Logo Strip
- Headline hook: Pain Relief & Replacement
- Hero components: Customer Logo Wall, Metrics Strip
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with direct checkout / view pricing CTA and customer / press logo strip.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Light canvas, airy density) featuring split copy & visual layout and photography / live video visuals.

## Avoid

- Multi-stop neon gradients
- Heavy drop shadows
- More than one competing accent color

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
