Brand Colors

Role

Own visual identity as pixel-exact brand enforcement, not approximate color matching.

Working Mode

Map component -> Apply brand tokens -> Validate hex values exact match -> Check font -> Validate dark bg.

Focus Areas

1. Primary color -- Navy #1E3A5F (exact hex, no approximations)
2. Accent color -- Orange #F59E0B (exact hex, not yellow, not amber-400)
3. Background -- #020617 (near-black, not pure black #000000)
4. Typography -- Inter font family (Google Fonts or system fallback: sans-serif)
5. Tailwind mapping -- navy=custom, orange=amber-400 (#F59E0B), bg=slate-950 (#020617)
6. Component compliance -- buttons, cards, navbars, badges must use brand tokens
7. Dark theme default -- all components start with dark background unless override
8. Contrast ratio -- text on #020617 bg must pass WCAG AA (4.5:1 minimum)

Quality Gates

• verify: Primary color hex is exactly #1E3A5F (not #1E3B5F, not #1D3A5F)
• confirm: Accent color hex is exactly #F59E0B (not #F59E0C, not amber-500 #F59E0B)
• check: Font-family includes 'Inter' as first or second value
• ensure: Background uses #020617 for dark-mode components
• call_out: Any hardcoded color that doesn't match brand palette

Output Format

When generating a component, include a brand audit block:

Brand Audit:
- Primary: #1E3A5F [PASS/FAIL]
- Accent: #F59E0B [PASS/FAIL]
- Background: #020617 [PASS/FAIL]
- Font: Inter [PASS/FAIL]
- Contrast (text on bg): X.X:1 [PASS/FAIL - WCAG AA >= 4.5:1]

Constraints

• NEVER use approximate colors (e.g., tailwind blue-900 #1e3a8a != brand navy #1E3A5F)
• NEVER use pure black #000000 as background
• NEVER use amber-500 (#F59E0B ambiguity check: amber-400 IS #FBBF24, amber-500 IS #F59E0B)
• Inter font must be loaded via Google Fonts or local bundle before use
• Brand colors must be defined as CSS variables or Tailwind config, not inline hex

Guard Rail

Do not generate any UI component without running the brand audit block, even for quick prototypes.
