rules
Build around one dominant product artifact: a curatorial color-study board with a left catalog index, a central selected swatch plane, and a right annotation stack that can collapse responsively.
Moderate-to-airy density with tight control clusters, 4px notation spacing, and 64-96px gallery breathing gaps around the main color plane.
Large empty white margins and typographic contrast establish order first; vivid color fields are promoted only when they represent selection, evidence, chart values, or required actions.
layout
1440 desktop three-zone board; 768 tablet stacks index above study plane with side annotations; 375 mobile becomes a single-column curator queue with horizontal swatch strips.
Desktop uses a 12-column gallery grid with 88px side margins, a dominant 6-column study plane, and one intentional broken-grid annotation overlap.
Whitespace is the luxury material: unrelated groups separate by 48-96px while related chip groups compress to 4-12px.
guidance
- Use vivid color only for swatches, selected planes, chart marks, semantic review states, or interaction focus.
- Let neutral typography, spacing, and hairlines carry most of the interface so color interventions feel authored and premium.
- Keep one primary action visibly dominant and tie its color to the active study rather than adding competing CTAs.
- Style every form control with squared museum geometry and explicit focus rings.
- Do not use rainbow confetti, startup blobs, neon cyberpunk glow, or arbitrary decorative color sprinkles.
- Do not add decorative side rails, left stripes, square-grid wallpaper, or template dashboard card rows.
- Do not use color merely as a tiny garnish; remove it unless it changes hierarchy, semantics, space, or product meaning.
- Do not create nested cards or equal three-card rows without a dominant study artifact.

# Chromatic Study Gallery Console ## Philosophy A museum-white product interface for a fictional collection color-lab where vivid color appears only as authored study material: swatches, selection planes, annotated chips, and measured chart marks that organize real product decisions. ### Values - gallery-white restraint - color as product evidence - precise typographic cataloging - large intentional absence - structural interaction states ### Anti-Values - rainbow garnish and arbitrary confetti - generic SaaS dashboard wrappers - decorative side rails on cards or buttons - textbook worksheet styling ### Visual Character - Use a warm museum-white canvas with hairline neutral dividers, no enclosing dashboard chrome, and large asymmetric fields of empty space around the main work surface. - Place vivid rectangular color-study planes inside the product hierarchy as selected objects, status evidence, and chart regions rather than as small decorative accents. - Pair an editorial serif display voice with a crisp grotesk UI voice and a compact mono notation layer for catalog IDs, pigment values, and keyboard-like controls. - Keep component geometry mostly squared with a committed 14px radius on large planes and 8px on controls, using inset hairlines instead of generic drop-shadow cards. - Make focus and hover states reveal calibrated color overlays, contrast rings, and annotation chips so interaction feels like curating a swatch table. ## Tokens ### Borders - **Accent Width**: 2px - **Character**: neutral stone lines define structure;

# Chromatic Study Gallery Console
## Overview
A museum-white product interface for a fictional collection color-lab where vivid color appears only as authored study material: swatches, selection planes, annotated chips, and measured chart marks that organize real product decisions.
### Values
- gallery-white restraint
- color as product evidence
- precise typographic cataloging
- large intentional absence
- structural interaction states
### Anti-Values
- rainbow garnish and arbitrary confetti
- generic SaaS dashboard wrappers
- decorative side rails on cards or buttons
- textbook worksheet styling
### Visual Character
- Use a warm museum-white canvas with hairline neutral dividers, no enclosing dashboard chrome, and large asymmetric fields of empty space around the main work surface.
- Place vivid rectangular color-study planes inside the product hierarchy as selected objects, status evidence, and chart regions rather than as small decorative accents.
- Pair an editorial serif display voice with a crisp grotesk UI voice and a compact mono notation layer for catalog IDs, pigment values, and keyboard-like controls.
- Keep component geometry mostly squared with a committed 14px radius on large planes and 8px on controls, using inset hairlines instead of generic drop-shadow cards.
- Make focus and hover states reveal calibrated color overlays, contrast rings, and annotation chips so interaction feels like curating a swatch table.
## Colors
Use the YAML color tokens as the normative palette. The prose below names the roles agents should preserve when generating UI.
| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| accent | `#F4C400` |
| background | `#FBFAF6` |
| border | `#D9D4C8` |
| error | `#C82F24` |
| info | `#008C9A` |
| muted | `#77746C` |
| primary | `#1457FF` |
| secondary | `#F04A2A` |
| success | `#1E8F58` |
| surface | `#FFFFFF` |
| text | `#171713` |
| warning | `#B87900` |
## Typography
- **Headline-Lg**: Instrument Serif, 2.097rem, weight 700, line-height 1.1.
- **Headline-Md**: Instrument Serif, 1.638rem, weight 600, line-height 1.15.
- **Body-Md**: Hanken Grotesk, 16px, weight 400, line-height 1.48.
- **Label-Md**: Fragment Mono, 0.75rem, weight 600, line-height 1.
## Layout
### Spacing Tokens
- **Base**: `8px`
- **Xs**: `4px`
- **Sm**: `8px`
- **Md**: `12px`
- **Lg**: `16px`
- **Xl**: `24px`
- **2xl**: `32px`
- **3xl**: `48px`
- **4xl**: `64px`
- **Step-8**: `96px`
### Breakpoints
1440 desktop three-zone board; 768 tablet stacks index above study plane with side annotations; 375 mobile becomes a single-column curator queue with horizontal swatch strips.
### Grid
Desktop uses a 12-column gallery grid with 88px side margins, a dominant 6-column study plane, and one intentional broken-grid annotation overlap.
### Whitespace
Whitespace is the luxury material: unrelated groups separate by 48-96px while related chip groups compress to 4-12px.
## Elevation & Depth
### Shadows
- **Lg**: 0 28px 90px rgba(20,87,255,0.10)
- **Md**: 0 14px 40px rgba(23,23,19,0.08)
- **Sm**: 0 1px 0 rgba(23,23,19,0.06)
## Shapes
### Rounded
- **Full**: `9999px`
- **Lg**: `14px`
- **Md**: `10px`
- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `8px`
### Surfaces
- **Bg Pattern**: bare museum-white field with an optional ultra-quiet non-boxy point-grid at 18px spacing under workbench areas only
- **Card Style**: mostly unshadowed squared white slabs with 14px radius, internal dividers, generous padding, and one dominant color field when selected
- **Treatment**: warm matte white surfaces with inset 1px stone hairlines and occasional full color planes for active study states
### Borders
- **Accent Width**: 2px
- **Character**: neutral stone lines define structure; vivid borders appear only on active selections, chart marks, and semantic color objects
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid inset hairline with color-specific focus rings
## Components
### Composition
Build around one dominant product artifact: a curatorial color-study board with a left catalog index, a central selected swatch plane, and a right annotation stack that can collapse responsively.
### Density
Moderate-to-airy density with tight control clusters, 4px notation spacing, and 64-96px gallery breathing gaps around the main color plane.
### Hierarchy
Large empty white margins and typographic contrast establish order first; vivid color fields are promoted only when they represent selection, evidence, chart values, or required actions.
### Signature Patterns
- The selected object becomes a large painted color field with embedded near-white labels and a dark notation strip, proving color as content rather than decoration.
- Annotation chips attach to edges of swatches and charts with small offset rectangles that carry catalog IDs, contrast ratios, and review states.
- Complementary and tetradic pairings appear as measured bars and quadrants in product charts, each labeled and tied to concrete collection decisions.
- Buttons and tabs use neutral museum styling until active, then become filled study planes or outlined color-calibration rings tied to the current swatch.
## shadcn/ui Usage
When the target app uses shadcn/ui, copy DESIGN.md with shadcn instead of the plain DESIGN.md. It contains the same Katagami design-language source plus the shadcn/ui primitives, imports, theme variables, component recipes, and preview-shot guidance.
DESIGN.md with shadcn: `/language/en-019e45e4-9508-7511-9a5f-73878e0d0be3/DESIGN.with-shadcn.md`.
The shadcn page also exposes optional machine-readable files for automation, but the human-facing handoff is DESIGN.md with shadcn.
Install recommended primitives with `npx shadcn@latest add button card input textarea select dialog sheet tabs badge separator checkbox switch slider tooltip dropdown-menu table`.
Use these primitives in shadcn apps:
- button
- card
- input
- textarea
- select
- dialog
- sheet
- tabs
- badge
- separator
- checkbox
- switch
- slider
- tooltip
- dropdown-menu
- table
Implementation rule for agents: import shadcn primitives from `@/components/ui/*`, apply the generated CSS variables first, then compose the language-specific recipes from the companion MD. Katagami remains the source of truth; shadcn names are the implementation surface.
## Do's and Don'ts
- Do Use vivid color only for swatches, selected planes, chart marks, semantic review states, or interaction focus.
- Do Let neutral typography, spacing, and hairlines carry most of the interface so color interventions feel authored and premium.
- Do Keep one primary action visibly dominant and tie its color to the active study rather than adding competing CTAs.
- Do Style every form control with squared museum geometry and explicit focus rings.
- Don't Do not use rainbow confetti, startup blobs, neon cyberpunk glow, or arbitrary decorative color sprinkles.
- Don't Do not add decorative side rails, left stripes, square-grid wallpaper, or template dashboard card rows.
- Don't Do not use color merely as a tiny garnish; remove it unless it changes hierarchy, semantics, space, or product meaning.
- Don't Do not create nested cards or equal three-card rows without a dominant study artifact.

# Chromatic Study Gallery Console shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019e45e4-9508-7511-9a5f-73878e0d0be3`
Slug: `chromatic-study-gallery-console`
## Intent
A museum-white product interface for a fictional collection color-lab where vivid color appears only as authored study material: swatches, selection planes, annotated chips, and measured chart marks that organize real product decisions.
## Required primitives
- button
- card
- input
- textarea
- select
- dialog
- sheet
- tabs
- badge
- separator
- checkbox
- switch
- slider
- tooltip
- dropdown-menu
- table
Install with `npx shadcn@latest add button card input textarea select dialog sheet tabs badge separator checkbox switch slider tooltip dropdown-menu table`.
## Token cues
Colors:
{
"accent": "#F4C400",
"background": "#FBFAF6",
"border": "#D9D4C8",
"error": "#C82F24",
"info": "#008C9A",
"muted": "#77746C",
"primary": "#1457FF",
"secondary": "#F04A2A",
"success": "#1E8F58",
"surface": "#FFFFFF",
"text": "#171713",
"warning": "#B87900"
}
Typography:
{
"base_size": "16px",
"body_font": "Hanken Grotesk",
"google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Fragment+Mono:ital@0;1&family=Hanken+Grotesk:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Instrument+Serif:ital@0;1&display=swap",
"heading_font": "Instrument Serif",
"letter_spacing": "-0.02em",
"line_height": 1.48,
"mono_font": "Fragment Mono",
"scale_ratio": 1.28
}
## Visual character to preserve
- Use a warm museum-white canvas with hairline neutral dividers, no enclosing dashboard chrome, and large asymmetric fields of empty space around the main work surface.
- Place vivid rectangular color-study planes inside the product hierarchy as selected objects, status evidence, and chart regions rather than as small decorative accents.
- Pair an editorial serif display voice with a crisp grotesk UI voice and a compact mono notation layer for catalog IDs, pigment values, and keyboard-like controls.
- Keep component geometry mostly squared with a committed 14px radius on large planes and 8px on controls, using inset hairlines instead of generic drop-shadow cards.
- Make focus and hover states reveal calibrated color overlays, contrast rings, and annotation chips so interaction feels like curating a swatch table.

}
## Signature component recipes
### Button
Use `Button` for primary, secondary, outline, and ghost actions. Primary actions must expose the language's strongest contrast pair, while secondary and ghost actions should preserve the surface treatment instead of falling back to default neutral SaaS styling.
### Card
Use `Card`, `CardHeader`, `CardContent`, `CardFooter`, and `CardAction` as the main composition frame. Cards should demonstrate the language's surface, border, hierarchy, and density rules rather than appearing as generic rounded rectangles.
### Input and Textarea
Use `Input` and `Textarea` with visible focus rings, field labels, validation states, and the language's rhythm. Forms should show real product content, not placeholder-only controls.
### Select, Tabs, and Table
Use `Select`, `Tabs`, and `Table` to prove navigation, filtering, and dense data states. The table should show row rhythm, separators, hover/focus states, and an empty or status state when the language calls for it.
### Dialog and Sheet
Use `Dialog` for centered decisions and `Sheet` for contextual editing. Both should inherit the language's spacing, border, overlay, and motion rules.
## Preview shots
- `application-shell`: dashboard or workspace shell with navigation, cards, forms, and state badges.
- `detail-editor`: focused editing flow using input, textarea, select, switch/checkbox, dialog or sheet, and action buttons.
- `data-operations`: table-heavy operational view with tabs, dropdown menu affordances, badges, and destructive/empty states.
- Each preview shot must include a renderable `scene` payload with concrete headline, description, actions, and rows/fields/stats for the UI preview.
## Implementation contract
- Start from local `ui/src/components/ui` shadcn-style primitives; do not create a second component system.
- Apply `/katagami/shadcn/chromatic-study-gallery-console/registry-theme.json` variables, then use these recipes for composition and state design.
- Preserve Katagami token names as source metadata; shadcn semantic names are only the export surface.
- Do: Use vivid color only for swatches, selected planes, chart marks, semantic review states, or interaction focus.; Let neutral typography, spacing, and hairlines carry most of the interface so color interventions feel authored and premium.; Keep one primary action visibly dominant and tie its color to the active study rather than adding competing CTAs.; Style every form control with squared museum geometry and explicit focus rings.
- Do not: Do not use rainbow confetti, startup blobs, neon cyberpunk glow, or arbitrary decorative color sprinkles.; Do not add decorative side rails, left stripes, square-grid wallpaper, or template dashboard card rows.; Do not use color merely as a tiny garnish; remove it unless it changes hierarchy, semantics, space, or product meaning.; Do not create nested cards or equal three-card rows without a dominant study artifact.
## Copy-paste component example
This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.
