### What is the Nuxt DESIGN.md?

A plain-text file with Nuxt’s measured colors, type, spacing, corners and components as tokens, plus short rules, in the DESIGN.md format Google published with Stitch. Your AI coding agent reads it and builds in this style. More about DESIGN.md.

### 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.

No. Sitepeel measured it from nuxt.com’s public page on November 4, 2026. It is an independent analysis, not made or approved by Nuxt.

### Can I use Nuxt’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 Nuxt’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.

# Nuxt Design System

## Overview

Nuxt describes itself as: “Build fast, production-ready web apps with Vue. File-based routing, auto-imports, and server-side rendering — all configured out of the box.” The interface is dark, built on **Near Black (#0A0A0A)** with **Mist (#E5E5E5)** text, and **Vivid Teal (#00DC82)** as the main accent.

Type is set in **Outfit** and **Inter**. Headlines run large with tight negative tracking; body text is 14px. Depth comes from hairline borders and inset highlights rather than drop shadows. Corners are mostly 6px.

Measured from [nuxt.com](https://nuxt.com/) on November 4, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 328 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.

## Colors

The palette has 14 roles.

- **Near Black (#0A0A0A):** Page background, seen 16 times. Token `background`.
- **Mist (#E5E5E5):** Primary text and headings, seen 12 times. Token `on-surface`.
- **White (#FFFFFF):** Headings and emphasis, seen 11 times. Token `on-surface-strong`, CSS `--color-white`.
- **Light Indigo (#BABED8):** Secondary text, seen 2 times. Token `on-surface-variant`.
- **Gray (#A1A1A1):** Muted text and metadata, seen 12 times. Token `on-surface-muted`.
- **Charcoal (#171717):** Raised areas one step from the page, seen 2 times. Token `surface-container-low`.
- **Graphite (#262626):** Cards and panels, seen 8 times. Token `surface-container`.
- **Vivid Teal 10% (#00DC821A):** Translucent fill for cards and controls, seen 2 times. Token `overlay`.
- **Near Black 75% (#0A0A0ABF):** Stronger translucent fill, seen 1 time. Token `overlay-strong`.
- **Graphite (#262626):** Borders and dividers, seen 10 times. Token `outline`.
- **Vivid Teal (#00DC82):** Primary buttons and calls to action, seen 8 times. Token `primary`, CSS `--ui-color-success-400`.
- **Charcoal (#171717):** Text and icons on primary. Token `on-primary`.
- **Light Cyan (#89DDFF):** Accent in text, fills and borders, seen 20 times. Token `secondary`.
- **Red (#F07178):** Accent in text, fills and borders, seen 10 times. Token `tertiary`.

## Typography

**Outfit** and **Inter** share the interface. Fallback stack: `Outfit, Outfit Fallback: BlinkMacSystemFont, Outfit Fallback: Segoe UI, Outfit Fallback: Helvetica Neue`.

- **headline-display:** Outfit 72px at weight 500, line height 1, tracking -0.025em (48px on mobile). Page title (h1).
- **headline-lg:** Outfit 48px at weight 500, line height 1, tracking -0.025em (30px on mobile). Section headings (h2).
- **body-md:** Inter 14px at weight 400, line height 1.43. Body text.
- **label-lg:** Inter 16px at weight 400, line height 1.5. Large buttons and tabs.
- **label-md:** Inter 14px at weight 500, line height 1.43. Buttons, navigation and labels.
- **label-sm:** Inter 12px at weight 500, line height 1.33. Small labels and badges.

## Layout

Spacing is mostly on a 4px grid (79% of measured values), with some off-grid steps. Match the measured scale rather than rounding everything.

- **Scale:** xs 4px, sm 6px, md 16px, lg 24px, xl 64px.
- **Gaps:** 32px is the most common gap in flex and grid layouts.

## Elevation & Depth

The design avoids drop shadows. Layers are separated by tonal surface steps (#171717 → #262626) and hairline rings:

- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, oklch(0.371 0 none) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px`
- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, oklab(0.786145 -0.174855 0.0792278 / 0.25) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px`

## Shapes

Most elements use 6px corners. Measured radii, most used first:

- **md (6px):** 144 elements.

## Components

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

- **button-primary (“Get started”):** #00DC82 fill, #171717 text, 16px/500, 6px radius, padding 8px 12px.
- **button-outline (“Nuxt in 100 seconds”):** #171717 fill, #E5E5E5 text, 16px/500, 6px radius, padding 8px 12px, shadow `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, oklch(0.371 0 none) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px`.
- **button-ghost (“app.vue”):** #171717 fill, #FFFFFF text, 14px/400, 6px radius, padding 6px 10px.
- **input-field:** transparent fill, #FFFFFF text, 16px/400, 6px radius, padding 8px 44px, shadow `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, oklch(0.371 0 none) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px`.
- **link:** transparent fill, #A1A1A1 text, padding 0px.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use #0A0A0A for the page and lift surfaces in small steps: #171717, #262626.
- Do keep text in 4 levels: #E5E5E5, #FFFFFF, #BABED8, #A1A1A1.
- Do reserve #00DC82 for primary actions and key highlights.
- Do set headlines in Outfit with tight tracking (-0.025em).
- Do reuse the measured spacing steps (6px, 16px, 24px).
- Do use 6px corners on most elements.
- Don't add drop shadows for depth; use hairline rings and tonal surfaces.
- Don't introduce new font families beyond Outfit and Inter.
- Don't use #00DC82 for large backgrounds or body text.
- Don't make interface transitions slower than 0.4s.

## Motion

Interface transitions are quick: 0.15s, 0.2s, 0.4s. Longer ambient animations run 0.9s.

- **Easing:** `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`, `cubic-bezier(0.25, 1, 0.5, 1)`, `cubic-bezier(0, 0, 0.2, 1)`.
- **Reduced motion:** the page responds to `prefers-reduced-motion`.
