# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome (with Enterprise Clean)

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

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #fcfbf8;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #171a2b;
  --muted-foreground: #62636d;
  --accent: #293bd8;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FCFBF8 (~72%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~15%) · Text #171A2B (~7%) · Muted Text #62636D (~4%) · Accent #293BD8 (~2%). 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 · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses Live Generated Output Showcase
- Headline hook: Pain Relief & Replacement
- Hero components: Interactive Hero Tool, Large Hero Product Shot
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and live generated output showcase.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring split copy & visual layout and product ui screenshot / component 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.
