Core behavioral guidelines to preserve the design language's integrity when scaling templates.

01
Accessibility first

Maintain contrast above 7:1 for all primary text elements to ensure absolute legibility.

02
Deuteranopia safe

Avoid red/green pairings; rely on blue/yellow contrast to distinguish actions and highlights.

03
Geometric precision

Bold Outfit headers establish a clear visual hierarchy immediately.
