starbucks.com is built on a pure-white canvas (rgb(255, 255, 255)).
The system uses rgb(0, 117, 74) as the accent for primary actions and brand signals.
Sharp 0px corners on CTAs — architectural restraint, engineering precision alongside SoDoSans as the primary typeface.
A layered elevation system (6 distinct shadows) building a clear front-to-back hierarchy.
Motion is a first-class concern — 23 keyframe animations plus transition-driven interactions.

Do's & Don'ts
16 enforceable rules pulled verbatim from the spec
Do
Use SoDoSans as the primary typeface — it defines the brand personality
Use negative letter-spacing (-0.16px) at display sizes for compressed, editorial headlines
Use the extracted shadow patterns for elevation — they are tuned to match the brand palette
Use #00754a (`#00754a`) as the primary accent — it's the brand's signature interactive color
Use 50px border-radius on primary buttons — the brand uses generously-rounded CTAs
Maintain nav height at 99px — consistent vertical space for the navigation bar
Respect the 6px–64px spacing range — the design uses a wide scale for visual breathing room
Each card uses an icon (not photo) — the visual language is illustrative, not photographic
Use a 8-column grid on desktop — density matters for this content type
Don't
Don't substitute with generic sans-serif or serif — the custom font carries the brand
Don't increase letter-spacing on headings — the type is designed to run tight at scale
Don't invent new shadow values — use only the extracted shadow levels
Don't introduce additional saturated accent colors — the palette is intentionally controlled
Don't use sharp-cornered or pill buttons — 50px is the CTA border-radius standard
Don't collapse or hide the nav on scroll without an explicit scroll-triggered animation — the design uses fixed nav presence
Don't make the nav sticky — this design lets it scroll away to maximize content focus
