# Databricks Design System

## Overview

Databricks describes itself as: “Databricks offers a unified platform for data, analytics and AI. Build better AI with a data-centric approach. Simplify ETL, data warehousing, governance and AI on the Data + AI Platform.” The interface is dark, built on **Deep Cyan (#0B2026)** with **White (#FFFFFF)** text, and **Vivid Red (#EB1600)** as the main accent.

Type is set in **DM Sans**, with **DM Mono** for code. Headlines run large; body text is 14px. Depth comes from soft drop shadows. Corners are mostly 20px.

Measured from [databricks.com](https://www.databricks.com/) on November 4, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 413 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 4px grid: 95% of measured gaps and paddings are multiples of 4px.

- **Scale:** xs 4px, sm 8px, md 16px, lg 24px, xl 40px.
- **Sections:** 80px vertical padding between major sections.
- **Gaps:** 12px is the most common gap in flex and grid layouts.
- **Breakpoints:** 360px, 480px, 481px, 767px, 768px, 991px, 1100px, 1280px, 1336px, 1366px, 1536px.

## Elevation & Depth

Raised elements use soft drop shadows. The most used recipes:

- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(27, 49, 57, 0.07) 0px 72px 104px 0px, rgba(27, 49, 57, 0.05) 0px 32px 40px 0px, rgba(27, 49, 57, 0.04) 0px 16px 24px 0px, rgba(27, 49, 57, 0.035) 0px 9px 13px 0px, rgba(27, 49, 57, 0.04) 0px 4px 8px 0px, rgba(27, 49, 57, 0.02) 0px 2px 3px 0px`

## Shapes

Most elements use 20px corners. Measured radii, most used first:

- **md (20px):** 28 elements.
- **sm (2px):** 20 elements.

## Components

Measured from the rendered page. Token values reference the tokens above.

- **button-primary (“Try Databricks”):** #EB1600 fill, #FFFFFF text, 16px/500, padding 12px.
- **button-primary-hover:** background #1B3139, text #FFFFFF on hover.
- **button-outline (“See demo”):** #1B3139 fill, #FFFFFF text, 16px/500, padding 8px 24px.
- **button-secondary (“Platform”):** #FFFFFF fill, #1B3139 text, 16px/700, 20px radius, padding 12px 16px.
- **button-ghost (“Why Databricks”):** transparent fill, #1B3139 text, 16px/400, padding 24px 12px 20px 12px.
- **card:** #FFFFFF fill, #1B3139 text, 16px/400, padding 0px, shadow `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(27, 49, 57, 0.07) 0px 72px 104px 0px, rgba(27, 49, 57, 0.05) 0px 32px 40px 0px, rgba(27, 49, 57, 0.04) 0px 16px 24px 0px, rgba(27, 49, 57, 0.035) 0px 9px 13px 0px, rgba(27, 49, 57, 0.04) 0px 4px 8px 0px, rgba(27, 49, 57, 0.02) 0px 2px 3px 0px`.
- **link:** transparent fill, #90A5B1 text, padding 0px.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use #0B2026 for the page and lift surfaces in small steps: #1B3139.
- Do keep text in 4 levels: #FFFFFF, #C4CCD6, #90A5B1, #5A6F77.
- Do reserve #EB1600 for primary actions and key highlights.
- Do keep spacing on the 4px grid.
- Do use 20px corners on most elements; larger surfaces also use 2px.
- Don't use #5A6F77 for body text; it reaches 3.18:1 on #0B2026. Keep it for large text or metadata.
- Don't introduce new font families beyond DM Sans and DM Mono.
- Don't use #EB1600 for large backgrounds or body text.
- Don't make interface transitions slower than 0.5s.

## Motion

Interface transitions are quick: 0.3s, 0.15s, 0.2s, 0.075s.

- **Easing:** `ease`, `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`, `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 1, 1)`.
- **Reduced motion:** the page responds to `prefers-reduced-motion`.
