# PlanetScale

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

PlanetScale uses a light canvas (#FAFAFA) with a palette led by #0B6EC5. Type is set in **Menlo** (mono), with 16px body text. Layout: 1280px container, top-static navigation, 8 sections. Built with tailwind, 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` | `#FAFAFA` | 0.985 0 0 | bg | 84.4% | `--bg-primary` |
| `on-surface` | `#414141` | 0.375 0 0 | text | 10.5% | `--text-primary` |
| `primary` | `#0B6EC5` | 0.536 0.158 252.4 | accent | 1.6% | `--blue-600` |
| `on-surface-variant` | `#737373` | 0.556 0 0 | muted | 0.50% | `--text-secondary` |
| `black` | `#000000` | 0 0 0 | other | 2.3% | `--black` |
| `neki` | `#FBCA00` | 0.857 0.175 91 | other | 0.43% | `--color-neki` |
| `gray-900` | `#111111` | 0.178 0 0 | other | 0.23% | `--gray-900` |
| `orange-500` | `#F35815` | 0.661 0.202 39.4 | other | 0.04% | `--orange-500` |

Sparse chromatic highlights (not accents): `#F35815` (`--orange-500`).

Contrast: text on background 9.78:1, muted text 4.54:1, accent 4.97:1.

Gradients in use: `repeating-linear-gradient(0deg, rgb(65, 65, 65), rgb(65, 65, 65) 12px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 12px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 16px), repeating-linear-gradi`.

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

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Menlo** (CSS: `ui-monospace`) | mono | 400, 500, 600, 700 | 100.0% | system (stack `ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, "SF Mono", Menlo, Consolas, "L`, resolved on macos) |

Scale (px): 16.  Body 16px at line-height 1.5; display 16px with tracking 0em. Headings are sentence case. On a 390px viewport the body is 16px and display 16px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 8px base unit; the most used steps are 4, 8, 9.5, 12, 16, 24, 40, 48, 56, 80px. Sections open with about 50px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1280px container on a 5-column grid. Text density 0.166 (text area / page area).

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

1. **nav** (32px, bg #FAFAFA)
2. **hero** (3323px, bg #FAFAFA)
3. **testimonials** — “Performance” (809px, bg #FAFAFA)
4. **section** — “Uptime” (632px, bg #FAFAFA)
5. **section** — “Cost” (448px, bg #FAFAFA)
6. **section** — “Security” (1664px, bg #FAFAFA)
7. **section** (528px, bg #FAFAFA)
8. **footer** — “Open source” (568px, bg #FAFAFA)

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 0px; radii in use: none. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Components

- **button-primary**: backgroundColor `#111111`, textColor `#FAFAFA`, rounded `0px`, padding `16px 0px`, height `56px`, fontFamily `Menlo`, fontSize `16px`, fontWeight `600`, border `1px solid #414141` (e.g. “Vitess”)
- **button-secondary**: backgroundColor `#F35815`, textColor `#FFFFFF`, rounded `0px`, padding `0px 8px`, height `32px`, fontFamily `Menlo`, fontSize `16px`, fontWeight `600` (e.g. “Get in touch”)

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do reserve `#0B6EC5` for primary actions and highlights; it covers only 1.6% of the painted page.
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400, 500, 600, 700.
- 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 8px.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
