Colaberry Design System · v1.0

One system. Every Colaberry experience.

The single source of truth for the School of Data and AI — tokens, components, templates and rules that let a marketer, a developer, or an AI ship on-brand work in minutes.

245 tokens · 20 components · 26 templates · WCAG 2.2 AA

01What this is

Everything the brand
knows, in one place.

A design system is a brand's shared language — colors, type, components, motion and voice, packed into code that people and AI can read. This is Colaberry's. Everything below is live — go ahead and touch it.

Color

Three hues, one voice.

Click any swatch to copy its hex.

Type

Roboto carries every word; Roboto Mono carries the numbers. Quicksand is reserved for the logotype.

Tokens · 245

Every decision, named.

Components never hard-code a value — change a token, every surface follows.

--brand-accent --radius-pill ms--dur-base · 220ms

Theme

Dark mode, free.

Every token flips with data-theme — the cherry stays constant.

Try it — the whole page flips

Motion

Quick, gentle, purposeful.

140–360ms, ease-out in, spring only to confirm. Never showy.

Social posts, decks, certificates, resumes, event pages, newsletters — pre-wired to the tokens. Pick one, swap the words, ship it.

AI-readable

Plain English is the API.

Claude reads the brand guide, tokens and components, then does the busywork — describe the artifact, download finished HTML.

Copy "Using the Colaberry design system, create a [social post / flyer / slide] at [size] for [topic]. Headline: [your words] — give me 3 options."

Accessibility

AA is the floor.

Every pair audited — focus always visible.

02How it works

From token
to artifact.

Scroll — one cherry-red decision travels from a variable, through components and templates, into a finished, shippable file.

Stop 01 · token

A decision gets a name.

/* tokens/color.css */
--brand-accent: #FB2832;

245 named decisions cover color, type, space and motion — the single source of truth.

Stop 02 · component

Twenty components inherit it.

background: var(--brand-accent)

Nothing hard-codes a value — edit one line and the whole kit restyles itself.

Stop 03 · template

Templates assemble them.

03In practice

One system,
every medium.

Decks, posts, product, print — all drawn from the same tokens. Nothing custom, nothing off-brand. Drag through.

04Principles

Five beliefs
that break ties.

When a design decision is ambiguous, these settle it — in order.

01

Inclusive by default

Accessibility, plain language and generous touch targets are requirements, not extras. If everyone can't use it, it isn't done.

44px targets · AA contrast · plain words
02

Warm, not loud

Soft shapes, gentle motion, friendly copy — confidence without hype.

soft radii · 140–360ms motion · no shouting
03

Clarity over decoration

We teach data, so content and numbers lead. Ornament earns its place.

numbers first · ornament earns its place
04

One system, many makers

Semantic tokens and reusable components let a marketer, a developer and an AI produce the same brand.

245 tokens · 20 components · one voice
05

Consistent & constant

The cherry accent never changes; foreground inverts with the background. Trust is built by repetition.
