# Wearecollins

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

Wearecollins uses a dark canvas (#140700) with a monochrome palette led by #F8F8F7. Type is set in **COLLINS Portrait Text** (display), **COLLINS Graphik**, with 16px body text. Layout: 1244px container, top-fixed+transparent navigation, 6 sections. Built with nuxt, sanity, netlify.

## 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` | `#140700` | 0.147 0.033 62.9 | bg | 73.3% | `--color-background` |
| `on-surface-variant` | `#D0D0C8` | 0.855 0.011 106.6 | muted | 12.9% | `--color-mid` |
| `primary` | `#F8F8F7` | 0.979 0.001 106.4 | accent | 2.9% | `--color-off-white` |
| `on-surface` | `#FFFFFF` | 1 0 0 | text | 1.5% | `--color-button-foreground` |
| `outline` | `#F8F8F733` (on bg `#423731`) | 0.979 0.001 106.4 | border | 0.07% | — |
| `color-6` | `#FF4500` | 0.66 0.229 35.4 | other | 9.1% | — |
| `color-7` | `#FFFFFF66` (on bg `#726A66`) | 1 0 39 | other | 0.13% | — |

Contrast: text on background 19.81:1, muted text 12.33:1, accent 18.64:1.

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

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **COLLINS Portrait Text** (CSS: `COLLINS Portrait Text Web`) | display | 400 | 70.5% | webfont |
| **COLLINS Graphik** (CSS: `COLLINS Graphik Web`) | body | 400 | 29.5% | webfont |

Scale (px): 12, 14, 16, 28, 36, 40, 72. Effective ratio ≈ 1.456. Body 16px at line-height 1.3; display 72px with tracking -0.02em. Headings are title case. On a 390px viewport the body is 16px and display 36.8px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 4px base unit; the most used steps are 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 16, 24, 29, 32, 56, 64, 80, 96, 98px. Sections open with about 333px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1244px container on a 3-column grid. Text density 0.033 (text area / page area).

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

1. **nav** (74px, bg #140700)
2. **hero** — “Rewrite your worth.” (1440px, bg #140700)
3. **logos** — “Programs” (1092px, bg #140700)
4. **section** — “Case Studies” (943px, bg #140700)
5. **section** — “Arts & Culture” (1028px, bg #FF4500)
6. **footer** (900px, bg #140700)

## Shapes

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

## Components

- **button-primary**: backgroundColor `#F8F8F7`, textColor `#140700`, rounded `9999px`, padding `0px 24px`, height `45px`, fontFamily `COLLINS Graphik`, fontSize `14px`, fontWeight `400` (e.g. “Explore Programs”)

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do reserve `#F8F8F7` for primary actions and highlights; it covers only 2.9% of the painted page.
- Do keep the palette monochrome; there is no chromatic brand accent on the page.
- Do set body copy in COLLINS Graphik at 16px / 1.3.
- Do use COLLINS Portrait Text only for display sizes, not for body text.
- Do tighten large headlines (-0.02em at 72px).
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400.
- Don't add drop shadows; depth comes from tone and borders.
- Do keep corners at pill 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.
