# Airbnb

> Extracted from [https://www.airbnb.com/](https://www.airbnb.com/) on 2026-11-12 by Emblematic. Every value below was read from the rendered DOM (computed styles, `document.fonts`, and the fonts Chrome actually used to paint text), not estimated from pixels. When the YAML front matter and this prose disagree, the YAML wins. Copy values from this file exactly; don't transcribe them from memory. Don't copy logos, imagery, illustrations or marketing copy.

> **Partial render.** no images rendered and 93% of the text is links (main content likely missing). Colors and layout below describe what rendered for our crawler and may not match what visitors see; low-confidence values are marked or left out.

## Overview

Airbnb uses a light canvas (n/a) with a palette. Type is set in **Airbnb Cereal** (display + body), with 14px body text. Layout: 1344px container, top-sticky+transparent navigation, 3 sections. Built with react, google-tag-manager.

## Colors

Area-weighted from painted backgrounds, text and borders on the 1440px light capture. Roles are inferred from usage (largest background, most text, interactive fills). Every hex is an exact computed value; a role marked *unverified* is a best guess that has not passed review, so its canonical token (e.g. `primary`) is left out of the front matter.

| Token | Hex | OKLCH | Role | Share of paint | CSS variable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `palette-bg-secondary` | `#F7F7F7` | 0.976 0 0 | bg *(unverified)* | 78.3% | `--palette-bg-secondary` |
| `palette-bg-input` | `#FFFFFF` | 1 0 0 | surface *(unverified)* | 10.3% | `--palette-bg-input` |
| `palette-text-primary` | `#222222` | 0.252 0 0 | text *(unverified)* | 5.7% | `--palette-text-primary` |
| `palette-text-secondary` | `#6C6C6C` | 0.531 0 0 | muted *(unverified)* | 5.4% | `--palette-text-secondary` |
| `palette-rausch700` | `#DA1249` | 0.569 0.221 15.7 | other | 0.06% | `--palette-rausch700` |

Sparse chromatic highlights (not accents): `#DA1249` (`--palette-rausch700`).

Declared brand/accent tokens: `--palette-logo-brand` = `#FF385C`, `--palette-icon-brand` = `#D80669` (declared, not painted on this page), `--palette-status-brand` = `#DA1249`, `--palette-bg-primary-core` = `#FF385C`.

Contrast: text on background 14.85:1, muted text 4.9:1.

Gradients in use: `linear-gradient(in srgb, rgb(255, 255, 255) 39.9%, color(srgb 0.972471 0.972471 0.972471) 100%)`.

The site does not change under `prefers-color-scheme: dark`.

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Airbnb Cereal** (CSS: `Airbnb Cereal VF`) | display, body | 400, 500 | 100.0% | webfont |

Scale (px): 14, 21, 22. Effective ratio ≈ 1.254 (close to a major third). Body 14px at line-height 1.286; display 22px with tracking -0.02em. Headings are sentence case. On a 390px viewport the body is 14px and display 22px.

## Layout

Spacing has no reliable single base unit; the most used steps are 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 32px. Content sits in a 1344px container on a 12-column grid. Text density 0.126 (text area / page area).

Section order (desktop). Kinds below the review threshold are shown as *section*:

1. **nav** (96px, bg #FFFFFF)
2. **hero** (1401px, bg #FFFFFF)
3. **footer** — “Site Footer” (673px, bg #F7F7F7)

## Elevation & Depth

Style: flat. Most used shadows:

- `color(srgb 0 0 0 / 0.1) 0px 8px 24px 0px`

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius is a full pill; radii in use: pill. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do set body copy in Airbnb Cereal at 14px / 1.286.
- Do tighten large headlines (-0.02em at 22px).
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400, 500.
- Don't add drop shadows; depth comes from tone and borders.
- Do keep corners at pill for most controls.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
