Galaxy Design System
Galaxy is a dark, cinematic agency template. The page is pure black with white Inter Tight in weight 600, and all the colour comes from one neon light-streak hero (magenta, violet and electric blue) and saturated project photography. Everything else is black, white and greys, with sharp-cornered images and small radii on the UI.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- The neon hero. A full-screen photo of curved magenta-to-blue light streaks on black, with a centred logo-wordmark ("Galaxy" next to a striped wave globe), a two-line centred lead and one frosted white button. A white mouse outline sits at the bottom as a scroll hint.
- The circular "Menu" ring. Top right, the word "Menu" repeats four times around a thin white + cross. Next to it, Cart [0] and a 1px divider; social icons sit on the left and a small logo appears in the centre once you scroll.
- Two-tone sentences. Leads and service texts start in white and fade to 50% grey halfway: "Starlight shines as a pioneer in Webflow template design, focusing on user-friendly interfaces."
- Chrome 3D icons. Service columns open with a glossy monochrome 3D object (stacked plates, a disc, a hexagon), then 01 in grey before the title.
Galaxy is a dark-only design. The only light surfaces are the inverted testimonial cards and the white buttons.

Do’s and don’ts
- Keep the canvas pure black #000000 and alternate with #121212 (surface-1) bands.
- Set section headings in Inter Tight 600 white with no letter spacing (the footer call to action is 500); paragraphs 17px / 500 at 70%.
- Write leads as two-tone sentences, finishing at 50% white (ink-subtle).
- Use the frosted button-primary (#FFFFFF at 80%, blur 20px, 5px radius, 62px) for the main action, centred under its section.
- Keep project and blog images sharp-cornered and 1:1 in the work grid.
- Let one neon photo carry the hero and fade it into black with scrim.
- Add a brand colour to buttons or headings; violet #6F00FF is only a hover underline.
- Round images, or use radii outside 3 / 5 / 6 / 8px for UI and 30 / 50px pills.
- Add drop shadows or glows to cards.
- Use #777777 (ink-faint) for paragraphs; it is for placeholders and hover fills. White on the #777777 hover is 4.48:1, so keep that button label at 19px / 600 or larger.
- Put white text on the inverted testimonial cards; they are #EDEDED with black text.
- Run animations longer than about 1.25s or use bouncy easing.

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/galaxy.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
Every token as data, in the W3C Design Tokens format: colors with their roles, type styles, radius, spacing, and component tokens that point at them.
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).
How to use it
- Save
theme.cssnext to your main CSS file - Import it after Tailwind:
@import "tailwindcss"; @import "./theme.css"; - Use the classes:
bg-canvas text-ink rounded-md p-lg

The same tokens as plain CSS variables on :root. Component values point at the color variables, so changing one color updates everything that uses it.
Best for
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:
color: var(--color-ink) - Change a token once and every place that uses it follows
