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

01What this is
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
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
Components never hard-code a value — change a token, every surface follows.
--brand-accent

ms--dur-base · 220ms
Theme
Every token flips with data-theme — the cherry stays constant.
Motion
140–360ms, ease-out in, spring only to confirm. Never showy.
Components · 20
Templates · 26
Social posts, decks, certificates, resumes, event pages, newsletters — pre-wired to the tokens. Pick one, swap the words, ship it.
See the template kitAI-readable
Claude reads the brand guide, tokens and components, then does the busywork — describe the artifact, download finished HTML.
"Using the Colaberry design system, create a [social post / flyer / slide] at [size] for [topic]. Headline: [your words] — give me 3 options."
Accessibility
Every pair audited — focus always visible.
02How it works
Scroll — one cherry-red decision travels from a variable, through components and templates, into a finished, shippable file.

04Principles
When a design decision is ambiguous, these settle it — in order.
Accessibility, plain language and generous touch targets are requirements, not extras. If everyone can't use it, it isn't done.
Soft shapes, gentle motion, friendly copy — confidence without hype.
We teach data, so content and numbers lead. Ornament earns its place.
Semantic tokens and reusable components let a marketer, a developer and an AI produce the same brand.
The cherry accent never changes; foreground inverts with the background. Trust is built by repetition.
