Clarity over novelty
The interface should make decisions and next steps obvious before it tries to feel distinctive.
Guidance / 01
Decision rules for building interfaces that stay useful under real product constraints.
The interface should make decisions and next steps obvious before it tries to feel distinctive.
Product patterns reflect observed workflows, accessible interaction models, and measurable outcomes.
Monochrome surfaces establish calm; lime is reserved for interaction, focus, and state.
New experiences should emerge from shared primitives rather than one-off visual treatments.
Keyboard, screen reader, contrast, touch target, and motion needs are part of the definition of done.
Do
Use the lime accent to show keyboard focus, selected state, or a primary action.
Don't
Use lime as a large decorative surface or repeat it until everything appears equally important.
