# Article

> Extracted from [https://www.article.com/](https://www.article.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.

## Overview

Article uses a light canvas (#FFFFFF) with a palette led by #FF6458. Type is set in **Proxima Nova** (display + body), with 16px body text. Layout: 1360px container, top-fixed+transparent navigation, 7 sections. Built with vue, jquery, google-tag-manager, cloudfront.

## 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 | 63.6% | `--white` |
| `on-surface` | `#2E2E2E` | 0.301 0 0 | text | 31.1% | `--link-hover-color` |
| `primary` | `#FF6458` | 0.7 0.191 27.5 | accent | 0.41% | `--accent-color` |
| `color-4` | `#141414` | 0.191 0 0 | other | 2.0% | — |
| `color-5` | `#160700` | 0.15 0.036 58.6 | other | 1.8% | — |
| `color-6` | `#1E1E1E` | 0.235 0 0 | other | 0.36% | — |
| `color-7` | `#424242` | 0.379 0 0 | other | 0.27% | — |

Contrast: text on background 13.58:1, accent 2.91:1.

Gradients in use: `linear-gradient(170deg, rgb(22, 7, 0) 0%, rgba(255, 87, 51, 0) 60%)`.

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

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Proxima Nova** (CSS: `proxima_nova_bold`) | display, body | 400 | 100.0% | webfont |

Declared in `@font-face` but not used to paint text on this page: Article Font, Webchat Default Font. Don't treat these as the page's fonts.

Scale (px): 14, 16, 20, 32. Effective ratio ≈ 1.414 (close to a augmented fourth). Body 16px at line-height 1.3; display 32px with tracking 0em. Headings are title case. On a 390px viewport the body is 16px and display 32px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 4px base unit; the most used steps are 8, 10.5, 11, 12, 15, 16, 20, 21, 24, 40px. Sections open with about 84px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1360px container on a 6-column grid. Text density 0.045 (text area / page area).

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

1. **nav** (159px, bg #FFFFFF)
2. **hero** (575px, bg #FFFFFF)
3. **section** — “Shop By Room” (888px, bg #FFFFFF)
4. **section** — “For every mood.” (1014px, bg #FFFFFF)
5. **section** — “Ceni 88" Corner Sectional - Hemlock Green” (388px, bg #FFFFFF)
6. **section** — “Great style in the wild.” (748px, bg #FFFFFF)
7. **footer** (600px, bg #2E2E2E)

## Elevation & Depth

Style: flat. Most used shadows:

- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08) 0px 4px 8px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.04) 0px 16px 16px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.02) 0px 32px 20px 0px`

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius is a full pill; radii in use: 4px, pill. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Components

- **input**: rounded `4px`, height `40px`, padding `8px 12px`, backgroundColor `#FFFFFF`, border `1px solid #C2C2C2`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do reserve `#FF6458` for primary actions and highlights; it covers only 0.41% of the painted page.
- Do set body copy in Proxima Nova at 16px / 1.3.
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400.
- Don't add drop shadows; depth comes from tone and borders.
- Do keep corners at pill for most controls.
- Do snap spacing to multiples of 4px.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
