Conic Design System
Conic is a warm, soft startup template. The top of the page is washed in seashell pink (#F8EDEB), the one colour is a dusty dark salmon (#E29578), and everything else is black type on white. Headlines are heavy Work Sans (700, with 800 on the brand name), and even paragraphs are semibold, so the text feels solid against the pale palette. Corners are square almost everywhere; structure comes from thin pink-beige rules and 2px salmon outlines.
The live preview's home page is a showcase: a hero over a faded collage of the template's pages, a four-column feature row, then sections of outlined preview frames (Landing Pages, Inner Pages, Account Pages), each under an outlined badge.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- Outlined salmon badges. Small uppercase labels (12px/600, 1px tracking) in salmon inside a 2px salmon-31% box, square: MEET CONIC, SELECT YOURS, HOME 1, ABOUT.
- The ruled nav. Each nav item is a cell with 1px #E4D7D5 borders on the left and right, 32px 30px padding, on seashell. The active item (Welcome) is salmon.
- Square salmon buttons. #E29578 with white 16px/600 text, 0px radius, 60px tall: Purchase, View on Webflow.
- The faded collage hero. The hero sits on a collage of tilted template screenshots under a seashell gradient wash (30% → 100% → 10%), so the pages show through like a watermark.
Conic is a light design with a warm grey (#6D696A) footer.

Do’s and don’ts
- Keep text black #000000 at weight 600 or more, on white or #F8EDEB.
- Use #E29578 for the one button style (square, 60px tall, 20px 28px padding) and for badge text.
- Open each section with an outlined badge (2px salmon at 31%, 12px uppercase) and a 44px/700 title.
- Separate content with 1px #EDEDED or #E4D7D5 rules and 2px salmon-31% frames, not shadows.
- Put the brand word in a headline at weight 800.
- End the page with the #6D696A footer and white text.
- Round buttons, badges or frames; only inputs get 5px.
- Use salmon for long text or small light text: #E29578 is about 2.4:1 on white and 2.1:1 on #F8EDEB. Keep it for 12px+ bold uppercase badges, the 17px/700 active nav item and icons.
- Put thin or small white text on the salmon button; it is about 2.4:1 (1.9:1 on the #E7AF9A hover). Keep button labels 16px semibold, short. The 82% white footer-link hover (4.3:1 on #6D696A) is likewise for 16px links only.
- Use grey body text or light weights; Conic's paragraphs are black at 600.
- Add a second colour, gradients on UI, or drop shadows.
- Use the unused CSS colours (#F64D52, #2E856E).

Best for
Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor and v0, or any other AI tool that builds pages or code.
How to use it
- Put
DESIGN.mdin your project and mention it in your request, or save it as.cursor/rules/conic.mdc - For the rule file, start it with a front-matter block that sets
alwaysApply: true, so every chat uses it - Ask: “Build a pricing page using DESIGN.md.” Cursor follows the colors, fonts, spacing and rules
- Put
DESIGN.mdin the project root - Add one line to
CLAUDE.md: “Follow DESIGN.md for all UI.” - Ask for any page or component; Claude reads the file first
- Attach
DESIGN.mdto the chat (or paste it in) - Ask: “Build a landing page in this design system.”
- Keep the file in the chat or project knowledge, so follow-up pages stay on style
What it is

Best for
Figma (Tokens Studio), Style Dictionary and other design-token tools, and build scripts.
How to use it
- In Figma, open Tokens Studio, choose Import, and pick
tokens.json - Or point Style Dictionary’s

What it is
A Tailwind CSS v4 theme: every color, font, type style, radius and spacing value becomes a Tailwind utility, like bg-canvas, text-headline-lg or rounded-md.
Best for
Tailwind v4 projects, and AI builders that write Tailwind (v0, Lovable, Bolt).

Any website: plain CSS, Webflow custom code, Framer, WordPress.
How to use it
- Add it to your stylesheet, or in Webflow paste it into Site settings → Custom code inside a
<style>tag - Use the variables anywhere:
