Design System (Enterprise Healthcare Palette)
- Paper:
#ffffff(Background) - Ink:
#1e293b(Primary text/strokes) - Accent:
#025893(Navy — Primary focal points) - Secondary:
#00968F(Teal — Supporting elements) - Muted:
#e2e8f0(Connectors/Secondary borders)
Rules of the Grid
- Hierarchy: Every node must earn its place. Reserve the Accent color for the 1–2 most important elements.
- The 4px Grid: All coordinates, widths, and gaps must be divisible by 4.
- Typography:
- Titles:
Inter, Bold, 54px. - Node Labels:
Inter, Semibold, 24-32px. - Sublabels/Technical:
monospace(Geist Mono equivalent), 18-22px.
- Titles:
- No Shadows: Use 1px hairlines and solid fills. Max border-radius: 10px.
- Connectors: Use flat paths with simple 2D arrowheads. No gradients.
Checklist
- Does every node have a clear purpose?
- Is the focal point clear (Accent color)?
- Are all dimensions on the 4px grid?
- Is contrast WCAG AA compliant?
