# sweetgreen

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

sweetgreen uses a light canvas (#F4F3E7) with a palette led by #E6FF55. Type is set in **Sweet Sans** (display), **Sweet Sans Text**, **Grenette** (ui), with 18px body text. Layout: 1360px container, top-sticky navigation, 6 sections. Built with contentful, 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` | `#F4F3E7` | 0.962 0.016 102.8 | bg | 36.3% | `--color-body` |
| `surface` | `#D8E5D6` | 0.908 0.024 141.5 | surface | 30.4% | `--em-color` |
| `on-surface` | `#0E150E` | 0.186 0.018 144.8 | text | 17.0% | `--color-text` |
| `primary` | `#E6FF55` | 0.952 0.19 117.4 | accent | 0.28% | — |
| `color-5` | `#E8DCC6` | 0.898 0.032 82.8 | other | 15.4% | — |
| `color-6` | `#8C8C82` | 0.637 0.015 106.8 | other | 0.39% | — |
| `color-7` | `#00473C` | 0.356 0.066 178 | other | 0.18% | — |

Contrast: text on background 16.62:1, accent 1:1.

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

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Sweet Sans** (CSS: `SweetSans`) | display | 400 | 47.7% | webfont |
| **Sweet Sans Text** (CSS: `SweetSansText`) | body | 400, 700 | 46.3% | webfont |
| **Grenette** | ui | 200 | 6.0% | webfont |

Declared in `@font-face` but not used to paint text on this page: Noto Sans JP, Noto Sans KR, Inter Variable, AS Circular, AS Circular BlackItalic, AS Circular BoldItalic. Don't treat these as the page's fonts.

Scale (px): 12, 16, 18, 24, 40, 48, 70, 80. Effective ratio ≈ 1.348 (close to a perfect fourth). Body 18px at line-height 1.25; display 80px with tracking 0em. Headings are upper case. On a 390px viewport the body is 16px and display 40px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 4px base unit; the most used steps are 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 35, 40, 43, 60px. Sections open with about 86px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1360px container on a 2-column grid. Text density 0.127 (text area / page area).

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

1. **nav** (72px, bg #F4F3E7)
2. **hero** (828px, bg #F4F3E7)
3. **section** — “Kale Caesar” (901px, bg #F4F3E7)
4. **section** — “All the ways we keep your workplace working” (851px, bg #D8E5D6)
5. **section** — “Step inside the sweetgreen kitchen” (871px, bg #E8DCC6)
6. **footer** — “Legal” (545px, bg #F4F3E7)

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius is a full pill; radii in use: 4px, 10px, pill. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Components

- **button-primary**: backgroundColor `#00473C`, textColor `#E6FF55`, rounded `9999px`, padding `7px 16px`, height `30px`, fontFamily `Sweet Sans Text`, fontSize `16px`, fontWeight `400` (e.g. “Order”)
- **button-secondary**: backgroundColor `#E6FF55`, textColor `#00473C`, rounded `9999px`, padding `15px 60px`, height `46px`, fontFamily `Sweet Sans Text`, fontSize `16px`, fontWeight `400` (e.g. “Order now”)
- **input**: rounded `10px`, height `50px`, padding `12px 50px`, border `1px solid #0E150E`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do reserve `#E6FF55` for primary actions and highlights; it covers only 0.28% of the painted page.
- Do set body copy in Sweet Sans Text at 18px / 1.25.
- Do use Sweet Sans only for display sizes, not for body text.
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 200, 400, 700.
- Don't add drop shadows; depth comes from tone and borders.
- Do keep corners at pill for most controls, and use the larger radii only for cards and media.
- 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.
