# Cooperhewitt

> Extracted from [https://www.cooperhewitt.org/](https://www.cooperhewitt.org/) 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

Cooperhewitt uses a dark canvas (#000000) with a palette led by #FF5700. Type is set in **Cooper Hewitt Display** (display), **Cooper Hewitt**, with 18px body text. Layout: 1200px container, none-detected navigation, 4 sections. Built with wordpress, jquery, hotwire, google-tag-manager, 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` | `#000000` | 0 0 0 | bg | 56.6% | `--jp-carousel-bg-color` |
| `on-surface` | `#FFFFFF` | 1 0 0 | text | 17.0% | `--jetpack--contact-form--inverted-text-color` |
| `on-surface-variant` | `#797B79` | 0.581 0.004 145.5 | muted | 0.60% | — |
| `primary` | `#FF5700` | 0.678 0.216 39.3 | accent | 0.57% | — |
| `color-5` | `#6122EE` | 0.495 0.267 285.1 | other | 10.2% | — |
| `color-6` | `#006EB6` | 0.525 0.14 247.7 | other | 10.2% | — |
| `color-7` | `#333333` | 0.321 0 0 | other | 4.1% | — |
| `color-8` | `#000000CC` (on bg `#000000`) | 0 0 0 | other | 0.71% | — |

Contrast: text on background 21:1, muted text 4.92:1, accent 6.62:1.

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

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Cooper Hewitt Display** (CSS: `CooperHewittDisplay`) | display | 400, 500 | 88.0% | webfont |
| **Cooper Hewitt** (CSS: `CooperHewitt`) | body | 400 | 12.0% | webfont |

Declared in `@font-face` but not used to paint text on this page: Calluna Sans, Canto Pen. Don't treat these as the page's fonts.

Scale (px): 13, 16, 18, 20, 40, 42. Effective ratio ≈ 1.326 (close to a perfect fourth). Body 18px at line-height 1.3; display 42px with tracking 0em. Headings are upper case. On a 390px viewport the body is 14px and display 26px.

## Layout

Spacing has no reliable single base unit; the most used steps are 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12.5, 15, 16, 20, 25, 30, 32px. Sections open with about 16px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1200px container. Text density 0.056 (text area / page area).

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

1. **section** (200px, bg #000000)
2. **hero** — “Welcome to Cooper Hewitt Plan Your Visit” (605px, bg #FFFFFF)
3. **section** — “Hours Today” (526px, bg #FFFFFF)
4. **footer** — “BECOME A MEMBER” (655px, bg #6122EE)

## Elevation & Depth

Style: subtle. Most used shadows:

- `rgb(255, 255, 255) 5px 0px 0px 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) -5px 0px 0px 0px`

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 0px; radii in use: pill. Borders: regular (2px).

## Components

- **button-secondary**: textColor `#FFFFFF`, rounded `0px`, padding `6px 0px`, height `43px`, fontFamily `Cooper Hewitt Display`, fontSize `20px`, fontWeight `400`, border `2px solid #FFFFFF` (e.g. “VISIT”)
- **input**: rounded `0px`, height `30.2px`, padding `10px 32px`, backgroundColor `#FFFFFF`, border `1px solid #000000`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do reserve `#FF5700` for primary actions and highlights; it covers only 0.57% of the painted page.
- Do set body copy in Cooper Hewitt at 18px / 1.3.
- Do use Cooper Hewitt Display only for display sizes, not for body text.
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400, 500.
- Do keep corners at 0px for most controls.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
