Protection X Design System
Protection X is a calm, approachable insurance site. Deep navy bands frame the top and bottom of the page, the middle is white with soft lavender-grey cards, and one bright azure blue (#007FFF) marks every action. Type is Inter at weight 600 almost everywhere, so even paragraphs feel firm and friendly. The photography is people: smiling portraits on pastel backdrops and warm, everyday scenes.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- The square-bullet eyebrow. Most sections open with an 8px blue square followed by blue 17px semibold text: ■ Welcome to Protection X, ■ Personalize your insurance.
- The tilted portrait collage. The hero shows four portraits on pastel backgrounds (pink, green, teal, lilac), each with a rounded corner of about 30px and each turned a few degrees, overlapping like snapshots.
- Two-tone headings. A heading starts in navy and finishes in grey: A list of quick points in ink, to inform the viewer in ink-muted. The hero lead does the same on navy, white then grey.
- Photo cards with a white icon disc. Insurance products are photo cards with a dark overlay, a white circle of about 100px holding a blue line icon, a white title and an underlined Get started link.

Do’s and don’ts
- Open most sections with the 8px blue square bullet and a blue eyebrow line.
- Use primary #007FFF for every action and primary-hover #4AA2FA on hover.
- Set body copy in ink-muted #63666D at weight 600, and headings in ink #0F1029.
- Split headings into two tones, navy then grey.
- Frame the page with navy #0F1029 bands at the top (hero) and near the bottom (CTA).
- Use smiling portraits on pastel backgrounds with 25–30px rounded corners.
- Add a second accent colour, gradients on buttons, or heavy shadows (only the dropdown has one).
- Put white text on #007FFF below 18px semibold; the pair is about 3.8:1, so keep button labels at button size or larger. The #4AA2FA hover is about 2.7:1, so it must stay a brief hover state, never a resting button colour.
- Set blue eyebrow or link text on white below 17px semibold, for the same contrast reason.
- Use uppercase, letter spacing or weights above 600.
- Use sharp-cornered photos or round bullets; the bullet is a square, the photos are rounded.
- Use the loaded Newsreader serif.
