Why

The site was two brands: green revamp-it chrome everywhere + a lime /vision island — different logo, colour, and font. That's the opposite of SSOT. This collapses everything onto one design-token source of truth that looks dope in both light and dark.

What

  • One mark — the refined eternal-loop from brand.ts, following the theme (green Möbius gone). /vision renders the same SSOT geometry; the .theme-vision island is deleted.
  • One accent, contrast-correct per mode — accent is a structure, not just a hue: deep lime #4d7c0f = readable text/links/logo on white; electric #B6F531 = dark accent + a new --color-action-strong CTA fill (electric + ink text) that pops on both white and obsidian. ~1000 text-action consumers keep working.
  • Fonts — Space Grotesk (display) + Inter (body) + IBM Plex Mono via next/font, CJK/Cyrillic fallbacks. (App was silently on system fonts — --font-inter was never defined.)
  • Dark-mode contrast — flipped 46 bg-action text-whitetext-action-text (ink on lime).
  • No green left behind — favicons, OG card, email + invoice-PDF templates, ui-colors.ts brand greens, DB default → lime. Kept the success/status green and chart "positive" green (UX conventions, not brand).

Verified

typecheck ✓ · lint (0 errors) ✓ · test:i18n (16/16) ✓ · zero arbitrary hex. Rendered in-browser: home, /vision, marketplace — light and dark; favicon + OG image eyeballed.

…, light + dark

The site had two brands: green revamp-it chrome + a lime /vision island.
This collapses them into ONE token SSOT that looks dope in both themes.

- Palette: green -> Ion Lime, preserving the light/dark CONTRAST structure so
  ~1000 token consumers keep working. Deep lime (#4d7c0f) = readable text/links/
  logo in light; electric lime (#B6F531) = dark accent + the new 'strong' CTA
  fill (electric + ink text) in both modes. Dark surfaces -> obsidian.
- Mark: one refined eternal-loop geometry in brand.ts (was two divergent marks);
  Logo strokes the action token (follows theme); /vision renders the same SSOT.
- Fonts: Space Grotesk (display) + Inter (body) + IBM Plex Mono via next/font,
  with CJK/Cyrillic fallbacks; hero titles + eyebrows now use them. (The app was
  silently on system fonts — --font-inter was never defined.)
- Killed the .theme-vision token island; /vision now inherits global tokens.
- Contrast: flipped 46 'bg-action text-white' -> text-action-text (ink on lime)
  so dark-mode fills are readable; added --color-action-strong token for CTAs.

Verified: typecheck, lint (0 errors), test:i18n (16/16); 0 arbitrary hex.
Rendered home + /vision + marketplace in BOTH light and dark.

Still to finish (no-green-left-behind follow-up): favicons/OG card + email/PDF
templates + a few secondary buttons + ui-colors.ts still bake the old green.

…n Lime

Finish the rebrand across every non-CSS surface:
- Regenerated favicons (icon.png / apple-icon.png / favicon.ico) with the lime
  eternal-loop on an obsidian tile; refreshed the referenced public favicon.
- OG share card accent → electric lime (ui-colors OG_IMAGE_COLORS.accent).
- ui-colors brand greens (feedback page, global-error primary, newsletter
  success) → lime. Data-viz greens (chart 'positive'/category) kept — green=
  positive is a UX convention, not brand.
- Email templates + invoice PDF: every green hex → lime (deep lime on fills so
  white text stays readable).
- DB default content color → deep lime for new rows.
- rich-editor selected-cell highlight fallback → --color-action.

Verified: typecheck, lint (0 errors), test:i18n (16/16). OG image + favicon
rendered and eyeballed.
