# Whimsical

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

Whimsical uses a light canvas (#F7F7F8) with a palette led by #250835. Type is set in **Agrandir-0cfc125464d8d15e** (display), **Manrope-a5ef729a754bc228**, with 16px body text. Layout: 680px container, top-fixed+transparent navigation, 9 sections. Built with astro, 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` | `#F7F7F8` | 0.976 0.001 286.4 | bg | 60.5% | `--base-10` |

Sparse chromatic highlights (not accents): `#AB2FED` (`--purple-500`).

Contrast: text on background 10.76:1, muted text 5.82:1, accent 16.8:1.

Gradients in use: `url("https://whimsical.com/_next_public/grain/15percent@1x.png"), linear-gradient(142deg, rgb(186, 89, 255) 0%, rgb(186, 89, 255) 30%, rgb(2`; `linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0%, color(display-p3 0.941176 0.933333 0.94902) 100%)`.

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

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Agrandir-0cfc125464d8d15e** | display | 700 | 58.7% | webfont |
| **Manrope-a5ef729a754bc228** | body | 500, 600, 700 | 41.3% | webfont |

Scale (px): 9, 10, 13, 14, 16, 24, 48, 64, 96. Effective ratio ≈ 1.565. Body 16px at line-height 1.4; display 64px with tracking -0.01em. Headings are sentence case. On a 390px viewport the body is 16px and display 48px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 4px base unit; the most used steps are 2, 4, 8, 11, 12, 16, 18, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64px. Sections open with about 205px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 680px container on a 3-column grid. Text density 0.111 (text area / page area).

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

1. **nav** (84px, bg #F7F7F8)
2. **hero** — “The whiteboard for product builders” (1125px, bg #E9BDED)
3. **logos** (752px, bg #E9BDED)
4. **section** — “Diagrams” (720px, bg #F7F7F8)
5. **section** — “Wireframes” (2343px, bg #F7F7F8)
6. **section** — “An infinite canvas to capture all your ideas” (1274px, bg #F7F7F8)
7. **faq** — “Frequently asked questions” (514px, bg #F7F7F8)
8. **section** — “It’s time to work differently.” (640px, bg #BBCFE4)
9. **footer** (676px, bg #FEFEFE)

- `rgba(37, 8, 53, 0.2) 0px 12px 16px -4px`
- `rgba(37, 8, 53, 0.04) 0px 8px 16px -4px`

## Components

- **button-primary**: backgroundColor `#250835`, textColor `#FFFFFF`, rounded `12px`, padding `4px 0px`, height `40px`, fontFamily `Manrope-a5ef729a754bc228`, fontSize `13px`, fontWeight `700`
- **card**: rounded `16px`, padding `24px`, backgroundColor `#FFFFFF`, shadow `rgba(37, 8, 53, 0.06) 0px 16px 32px -4px`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do reserve `#250835` for primary actions and highlights; it covers only 3.9% of the painted page.
- Do set body copy in Manrope-a5ef729a754bc228 at 16px / 1.4.
- Do use Agrandir-0cfc125464d8d15e only for display sizes, not for body text.
- Do tighten large headlines (-0.01em at 64px).
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 500, 600, 700.
- Do keep corners at 8px 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.
