# Are.na

> Extracted from [https://www.are.na/](https://www.are.na/) 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.

## Overview

Are.na uses a light canvas (#FFFFFF) with a palette led by #00075F. Type is set in **Areal** (display + body), with 19px body text. Layout: 648px container, top-fixed+transparent navigation, 2 sections. Built with next.js, contentful, vercel, cloudflare.

## 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `background` | `#FFFFFF` | 1 0 0 | bg | 87.5% | `--colors-background` |
| `primary` | `#00075F` | 0.229 0.146 264.2 | accent | 5.9% | `--colors-brandDark` |
| `on-surface` | `#333333` | 0.321 0 0 | text | 5.1% | `--colors-link` |
| `on-surface-variant` | `#696969` | 0.521 0 0 | muted | 0.52% | `--colors-slate` |
| `outline` | `#EDEDED` | 0.946 0 0 | border | 0.11% | `--colors-gray2` |
| `gray7` | `#000000` | 0 0 0 | other | 0.28% | `--colors-gray7` |
| `gray1` | `#F7F7F7` | 0.976 0 0 | other | 0.26% | `--colors-gray1` |
| `backgroundlight` | `#F7F7F799` (on bg `#FAFAFA`) | 0.976 0 0 | other | 0.25% | `--colors-backgroundLight` |

Contrast: text on background 12.63:1, muted text 5.49:1, accent 17.56:1.

Gradients in use: `linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0), rgb(255, 255, 255) 88%)`; `linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0%, rgba(247, 247, 247, 0.6) 35%, rgba(247, 247, 247, 0.6) 65%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 100%)`.

The site responds to `prefers-color-scheme: dark`; the `-dark` tokens hold the dark-mode roles.

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Areal** (CSS: `areal`) | display, body | 400, 700 | 100.0% | webfont |

Scale (px): 10, 12.5, 14.5, 16, 19.  Body 19px at line-height 1.45; display 19.2px with tracking 0em. Headings are sentence case. On a 390px viewport the body is 19px and display 19.2px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 5px base unit; the most used steps are 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 35, 65px. Content sits in a 648px container on a 12-column grid. Text density 0.084 (text area / page area).

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

1. **nav** (55px, bg #FFFFFF)
2. **footer** — “Support” (900px, bg #FFFFFF)

## Elevation & Depth

Style: elevated. Most used shadows:

- `color(srgb 0 0 0 / 0.05) 0px 0px 34px 0px`

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 3px; radii in use: 3px, pill. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Components

- **button-primary**: backgroundColor `#00075F`, textColor `#FFFFFF`, rounded `3px`, padding `0px 15px`, height `34px`, fontFamily `Areal`, fontSize `14.4px`, fontWeight `700` (e.g. “Sign up”)
- **input**: rounded `3px`, height `54px`, padding `0px 20px`, backgroundColor `#F7F7F799`, border `1px solid #DEDEDE`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do reserve `#00075F` for primary actions and highlights; it covers only 5.9% of the painted page.
- Do set body copy in Areal at 19px / 1.45.
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400, 700.
- Do keep corners at 3px for most controls.
- Do snap spacing to multiples of 5px.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
