# Designmuseum

> Extracted from [https://designmuseum.org/](https://designmuseum.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

Designmuseum uses a light canvas (#F0F0F0) with a monochrome palette. Type is set in **Din Pro**, **Din Pro Alternate** (display), with 15px body text. Layout: 884px container, top-static+transparent navigation, 2 sections. Built with jquery, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `background` | `#F0F0F0` | 0.955 0 0 | bg | 62.1% | — |
| `on-surface` | `#000000` | 0 0 0 | text | 14.9% | — |
| `color-3` | `#FFFFFF` | 1 0 0 | other | 9.3% | — |
| `color-4` | `#C4C4C4` | 0.82 0 0 | other | 8.4% | — |
| `color-5` | `#E8E316CC` (on bg `#EAE642`) | 0.891 0.189 108 | other | 4.2% | — |
| `color-6` | `#000000CC` (on bg `#303030`) | 0 0 0 | other | 0.76% | — |
| `color-7` | `#1A1918` | 0.214 0.002 67.7 | other | 0.35% | — |

Contrast: text on background 18.43:1.

Gradients in use: `linear-gradient(rgb(196, 196, 196) 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 100%)`; `url("https://designmuseum.org/static/images/grid.png"), linear-gradient(rgb(196, 196, 196) 0px, rgb(255, 255, 255) 100%)`.

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

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Din Pro** (CSS: `din-pro`) | body | 400, 500 | 88.7% | webfont |
| **Din Pro Alternate** (CSS: `din-pro-alternate`) | display | 400 | 11.3% | webfont |

Scale (px): 12, 15, 24, 50. Effective ratio ≈ 1.826. Body 15px at line-height 1.4; display 50px with tracking -0.04em. Headings are sentence case. On a 390px viewport the body is 15px and display 36px.

## Layout

Spacing has no reliable single base unit; the most used steps are 2, 7, 9, 10, 13, 15, 20, 40, 278px. Content sits in a 884px container. Text density 0.23 (text area / page area).

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

1. **nav** (154px, bg #F0F0F0)
2. **footer** — “Welcome to the Design Museum” (900px, bg #FFFFFF)

## Elevation & Depth

Style: subtle. Most used shadows:

- `rgba(232, 227, 22, 0.8) 2px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(232, 227, 22, 0.8) -2px 0px 0px 0px`
- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15) 0px 4px 16px 0px`

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 0px; radii in use: pill. Borders: none.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do keep the palette monochrome; there is no chromatic brand accent on the page.
- Do set body copy in Din Pro at 15px / 1.4.
- Do use Din Pro Alternate only for display sizes, not for body text.
- Do tighten large headlines (-0.04em at 50px).
- 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.
