switchcollective.com is built on a warm, off-white canvas (rgb(255, 246, 240)).
The system uses rgb(250, 182, 141) as the accent for primary actions and brand signals.
Sharp 0px corners on CTAs — architectural restraint, engineering precision alongside Canela as the primary typeface.
A restrained elevation system (2 distinct shadows) — shadows reserved for the few elements that must lift off the page.
Interactions are smoothed by transitions across many elements, with little or no keyframe animation.

No distinct @media breakpoints captured at the desktop/mobile pass — this layout is fluid, adapting by ratio rather than hard stops.
09
Do's & Don'ts
19 enforceable rules pulled verbatim from the spec
Do
Use Warm Cream (`#fff6f0`) as the page background — it's intentionally not pure white
Use Satoshi as the primary typeface — it defines the brand personality
Use negative letter-spacing (-2px) at display sizes for compressed, editorial headlines
Use the extracted shadow patterns for elevation — they are tuned to match the brand palette
Use #fab68d (`#fab68d`) as the primary accent — it's the brand's signature interactive color
Use 40px border-radius on cards — consistent with the grid card corners
Style form inputs with a `1px solid rgb(255, 246, 240)` border — use border-based inputs, not floating labels or underline-only
Maintain nav height at 40px — consistent vertical space for the navigation bar
Respect the 6px–72px spacing range — the design uses a wide scale for visual breathing room
Use a 5-column grid on desktop — density matters for this content type
Don't
Don't use pure white (`#ffffff`) as a page background — the warm tone is part of the brand identity
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 remove the input border — the border is the primary affordance indicator for form fields
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
Don't put a CTA button in the nav — this design uses links only at the top
