Do’s and don’ts
Rules written from the measurements, so a coding agent stays on style.
- Use #FFFFFF for the page and lift surfaces in small steps: #F8F9FA.
- Keep text in 3 levels: #16171A, #1F1F1F, #3C4043.
- Reserve #0B57D0 for primary actions and key highlights.
- Reuse the measured spacing steps (8px, 15px).
- Make buttons and chips fully rounded (9999px); most other elements use 8px corners.
- Add drop shadows for depth; use tonal surfaces.
- Introduce new font families beyond sans-serif and arial.
- Use #0B57D0 for large backgrounds or body text.

# Google Design System
## Overview
The interface is light, built on **White (#FFFFFF)** with **Charcoal (#16171A)** text, and **Vivid Blue (#0B57D0)** as the main accent.
Type is set in **sans-serif** and **arial**. Headlines run large; body text is 14px. The surface language is flat. Controls are pill-shaped.
Measured from [google.com](https://www.google.com/) on October 22, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 40 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.
## Colors
The palette has 12 roles.
- **White (#FFFFFF):** Page background, seen 1 time. Token `background`.
- **Charcoal (#16171A):** Primary text and headings, seen 7 times. Token `on-surface`.
- **Charcoal (#1F1F1F):** Secondary text, seen 2 times. Token `on-surface-variant`.
- **Cool Graphite (#3C4043):** Muted text and metadata, seen 2 times. Token `on-surface-muted`.
- **Snow (#F8F9FA):** Raised areas one step from the page, seen 2 times. Token `surface-container-low`.
- **Snow (#F8F9FA):** Borders and dividers, seen 2 times. Token `outline`.
- **Vivid Blue (#0B57D0):** Primary buttons and calls to action, seen 1 time. Token `primary`.
- **White (#FFFFFF):** Text and icons on primary. Token `on-primary`.
- **Dark Indigo (#1A0DAB):** Most used accent color, seen 3 times. Token `secondary`.
- **Vivid Red (#FC413D):** Errors and destructive states, seen 2 times. Token `error`.
- **Vivid Amber (#FFBE00):** Warnings and highlights, seen 1 time. Token `warning`.
- **Dark Green (#00AF57):** Success and positive states, seen 1 time. Token `success`.
## Typography
**sans-serif** and **arial** share the interface. Fallback stack: `sans-serif`.
- **body-md:** sans-serif 14px at weight 400. Body text.
- **body-sm:** arial 13px at weight 400, line height 1.85. Secondary and small text.
## Layout
Spacing does not follow a strict grid: 36% of measured values are multiples of 4px, so match the measured steps rather than rounding to a grid.
- **Scale:** xs 4px, sm 8px, md 15px.
- **Breakpoints:** 360px, 569px, 640px, 756px, 1200px.
## Elevation & Depth
The design is flat: no shadows were measured. Hierarchy comes from tonal surface steps (#F8F9FA) and #F8F9FA borders.
## Shapes
Interactive controls are pill-shaped. Measured radii, most used first:
- **sm (8px):** 8 elements.
- **md (100px):** 4 elements.
- **full (9999px):** 4 elements.
## Components
Measured from the rendered page. Token values reference the tokens above.
- **button-primary (“Login”):** #0B57D0 fill, #FFFFFF text, 14px/500, 100px radius, padding 10px 12px.
- **button-outline (“Penelusuran Google”):** #F8F9FA fill, #3C4043 text, 14px/400, 8px radius, padding 0px 16px, border 1px solid #F8F9FA.
- **button-outline-hover:** background #F8F9FA, text #202124 on hover.
- **button-secondary (“Aplikasi Google”):** #444746 fill, #1A0DAB text, 14px/400, 100px radius, padding 8px.
- **button-ghost (“Setelan”):** transparent fill, #16171A text, 14px/400, padding 0px.
- **input-field (“Cari”):** transparent fill, #16171A text, 16px/400, padding 14px 0px 0px 0px.
## Do's and Don'ts
- Do use #FFFFFF for the page and lift surfaces in small steps: #F8F9FA.
- Do keep text in 3 levels: #16171A, #1F1F1F, #3C4043.
- Do reserve #0B57D0 for primary actions and key highlights.

What you can build with it
Landing pages, pricing tables, dashboards: your AI coding agent builds them in this style, with these colors, fonts, spacing and buttons instead of its defaults.
Download DESIGN.md, put it in your project’s root folder, then ask your agent for a page.
Build a landing page for my product. Follow for every color, font, spacing value, corner and button.
Need more than one page?
Design MD in the Sitepeel tools for Chrome measures pages behind a login, combines several pages into one file and works on any site you open.

Questions
What can I build with the Google DESIGN.md?
Any page or component in this style: a landing page, pricing table, dashboard or sign-up form. Your AI coding agent uses the measured colors, sans-serif type, spacing, corners and buttons instead of its own defaults.
How do I use it with Claude Code or Cursor?
Download the file and put it in your project’s root folder, then ask your agent to follow DESIGN.md. Step-by-step guides: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot.
Is this Google’s official design system?
No. Sitepeel measured it from google.com’s public page on October 22, 2026. It is an independent analysis, not made or approved by Google.
Can I use Google’s style in my own product?
Use it to learn, prototype and compare. For a real product, make the style your own, and never copy Google’s logo, name, pictures or text.
How accurate are the values?
Each value was measured on the rendered page after it fully loaded, on desktop and mobile: colors where they appear, type with tracking, spacing, corners, shadows and hover states. Sites change, so check the date at the top.
