  The Category Is — Color

Daylight palette — email · pdf · print


The designer's colors, on the cream ground they were made for. Flat — no glow (neon rasterises to boxes in print). Readable small text is indigo; the bright magenta/cyan are for headlines, the ✕, and bar fills only. Constants live in apps/api/src/email/templates/ — the digest AND both transactional emails (Verify, Welcome) now share this system: masthead (indigo eyebrow + magenta ✕ → magenta wordmark → billing → indigo rule), content, then a white “World Premiere” facts panel with a tickets button.

No gold. The deck uses none; the old gold accent was dropped — the headline rule, ✕ and country bars now use the brand magenta/indigo. Dark-site counterparts: magenta is shared (#fa23d8); cyan brightens to #2ecbff and indigo lifts to violet #a766ff for legibility on black. The full dark palette + glow system is in the site legend (linked from the design-system index).
