# Neon

> Extracted from [https://neon.com/](https://neon.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

Neon uses a dark canvas (#000000) with a palette. Type is set in **Inter** (display + body), **Geist Mono** (mono), with 16px body text. Layout: 1376px container, top-sticky navigation, 12 sections. Built with next.js, tailwind, shadcn/ui, vercel.

## 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 | 37.3% | `--error-tooltip-bg` |
| `on-surface` | `#FFFFFF` | 1 0 0 | text | 7.3% | `--shiki-token-embed` |

Sparse chromatic highlights (not accents): `#34D59A` (`--shiki-token-keyword`).

Contrast: text on background 21:1, muted text 5.09:1, accent 21:1.

Gradients in use: `repeating-linear-gradient(rgb(0, 0, 0) 0px, rgb(0, 0, 0) 0.9px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0.9px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 3px)`; `linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0%, rgb(0, 0, 0) 100%)`.

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

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Inter** | display, body | 400, 500 | 86.3% | webfont |
| **Geist Mono** (CSS: `GeistMono`) | mono | 400, 500, 600 | 13.7% | webfont |

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

Scale (px): 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 44, 52, 56, 64, 72. Effective ratio ≈ 1.147 (close to a major second). Body 16px at line-height 1.375; display 56px with tracking -0.04em. Headings are sentence case. On a 390px viewport the body is 16px and display 32px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 4px base unit; the most used steps are 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 28, 32, 40, 48, 64px. Sections open with about 70px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1376px container on a 2-column grid. Text density 0.134 (text area / page area).

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

1. **nav** (64px, bg #000000)
2. **hero** — “The backend for apps and agents, built to scale on Postgres.” (741px, bg #000000)
3. **section** — “Neon is a complete backend platform with Authentication, Object Storage, Functio” (766px, bg #000000)
4. **section** — “Create and branch environments the way you work with PRs, with full access via M” (1129px, bg #000000)
5. **section** — “Startups ship on the same Neon primitives that enterprise teams run in productio” (1328px, bg #000000)
6. **section** — “PLATFORMS DEPLOY WHERE AGENT” (185px, bg #000000)
7. **section** (2463px, bg #000000)
8. **section** — “The way we build software is changing, but the fundamentals remain the same: and” (962px, bg #E4F1EB)
9. **section** — “Optimized cost-performance, without capacity planning.” (883px, bg #18191B)
10. **section** — “First founded by Postgres hackers with decades of expertise, Neon is now part of” (1790px, bg #18191B)
11. **section** — “The world's most advanced backend platform.” (708px, bg #151617)
12. **footer** (430px, bg #000000)

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 0px; radii in use: 10px, pill. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Components

- **button-primary**: backgroundColor `#FFFFFF`, textColor `#000000`, rounded `9999px`, padding `0px 18px`, height `36px`, fontFamily `Inter`, fontSize `14px`, fontWeight `500` (e.g. “Sign up”)
- **button-secondary**: textColor `#FFFFFF`, rounded `9999px`, padding `0px 28px`, height `44px`, fontFamily `Inter`, fontSize `16px`, fontWeight `400`, border `1px solid #61646B` (e.g. “Read the docs”)

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do set body copy in Inter at 16px / 1.375.
- Do tighten large headlines (-0.04em at 56px).
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400, 500, 600.
- Don't add drop shadows; depth comes from tone and borders.
- Do keep corners at 0px 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.
