An asymmetric, channel-driven layout on a deep wet-paper indigo ground: a vertical pigment-channel rail beside offset content on the landing; an open masthead sidebar plus a single canvas on the dashboard — not a three-column workspace. Cards carry a bleed-front from one edge; ink linework and mono metadata stay reserved and crisp.
Archivo Expanded uppercase carries display; Archivo carries body; JetBrains Mono carries every numeric reading and label. Priority is signalled by where the bleed-front advances and how dense the granulation is, not by many colours.
Medium editorial density with generous breathing room; the pigment fronts need space, so avoid edge-to-edge packed cards. Every group keeps at least 24px internal padding.
Every state is a bleed front — a masked feathered pigment frontier rising from an edge at 0.08–0.22 opacity. Values are granulation wells (grain density settling to a base); emphasis is one madder charged-drop; selection is the wet front advancing across a control, never a dashed stroke or an edge-stripe.
Desktop caps contained content at ~1280px with 32px gutters. The landing runs a 96px vertical pigment-channel rail beside offset content; the dashboard is a 248px open masthead sidebar plus a single fluid canvas. Tablet collapses the rail to a horizontal bar and stacks panels.
Whitespace is the dry, unpigmented ground: content is framed by open dark margins while bleed-fronts sit behind content as masked zones rather than filled blocks.
Medium editorial density: spacious presentation areas with compact, legible mono operational data.
Every artifact renders well from ~390px mobile to 2560px+ ultra-wide; minmax(0,1fr) columns and min-width:0 children keep grids from blowing out. Only the full-bleed hero spans 100vw; contained content caps and centres.
lavis
Subjects rendered in layered transparent watercolor glazing on a deep wet ground: translucent granulated mineral-pigment washes bleeding and blooming upward as a feathered capillary front, crisp dry-brush edges and fine black ink contour lines, with one restrained gold splatter cluster. Indigo, prussian-blue and teal carry the field; a single madder streak marks emphasis.
Full-bleed luminous hero with the colour bleeding up from a deeper lower edge so low-anchored copy stays legible; feature and avatar shots are single centred subjects filling the frame. No text, letters, or logos in the image.

# Indigo
## Philosophy
Indigo is a wet-pigment material system: colour is treated as a material in motion on saturated dark paper. Every interface state is a bleed front advancing from an edge, and every value is grain settling into a well. Where most watercolor systems lay calm washes over bright white, Indigo takes the opposite moment — the instant a charged brush meets damp paper and the pigment travels — so colour glows out of a deep wet-paper ground rather than sitting on top of white. It is built for colour-batch and pigment-QA tools, dye-floor consoles, and creative-workflow products that need to catch a problem while the dye is still moving.
### Values
- {"name":"Pigment in motion","explanation":"State is a bleed front advancing across a surface, not a box that recolours — colour reads as wet pigment travelling, the way it does on damp paper."}
- {"name":"Saturated ground","explanation":"The page is deep wet-paper indigo, not white; pigment is luminous against the dark, which is the language's primary identity lever."}
- {"name":"Grain as data","explanation":"Values are encoded as the density of granulated pigment settled toward a base, so a glance weighs a batch before any number is read."}
- {"name":"One charge per surface","explanation":"Emphasis is a single deliberate madder drop — a charged event, never scattered splatter across a panel."}
- {"name":"Reserved ink","explanation":"Fine linework and mono metadata stay crisp; pigment is masked away from text it must not obscure, so the dark ground never costs legibility."}
### Anti-Values
- No white-paper watercolor or pastel washes; Indigo's ground is saturated dark and the pigment is the highlight.
- No accent edge-stripes on cards and no nested cards; structure is built with space, surface, and the bleed-front.
- No scattered splatter; more than one charge per surface reads as messy.
- No serif display, no default browser controls, no symbol glyphs in copy.
### Visual Character
- Deep wet-paper indigo ground (#0C1020) with a faint fibre grain across every surface, pigment glowing out of the dark.
- Masked, feathered bleed-fronts rise from one edge of cards, nav items, alerts, and selected table rows to signal state.
- Granulation wells encode values as pigment-grain density settling toward a base under a mono number.
- A single madder charged-drop marks the primary action; one restrained gold splatter cluster marks a charge confirmation.
- Wide Archivo Expanded uppercase mastheads over Archivo body and JetBrains Mono numerics — no serif, no italic.

## Rules
### Composition
An asymmetric, channel-driven layout on a deep wet-paper indigo ground: a vertical pigment-channel rail beside offset content on the landing; an open masthead sidebar plus a single canvas on the dashboard — not a three-column workspace. Cards carry a bleed-front from one edge; ink linework and mono metadata stay reserved and crisp.
### Hierarchy
Archivo Expanded uppercase carries display; Archivo carries body; JetBrains Mono carries every numeric reading and label. Priority is signalled by where the bleed-front advances and how dense the granulation is, not by many colours.
### Density
Medium editorial density with generous breathing room; the pigment fronts need space, so avoid edge-to-edge packed cards. Every group keeps at least 24px internal padding.
### Signature
Every state is a bleed front — a masked feathered pigment frontier rising from an edge at 0.08–0.22 opacity. Values are granulation wells (grain density settling to a base); emphasis is one madder charged-drop; selection is the wet front advancing across a control, never a dashed stroke or an edge-stripe.
## Layout
### Grid
Desktop caps contained content at ~1280px with 32px gutters. The landing runs a 96px vertical pigment-channel rail beside offset content; the dashboard is a 248px open masthead sidebar plus a single fluid canvas. Tablet collapses the rail to a horizontal bar and stacks panels.
### Whitespace
Whitespace is the dry, unpigmented ground: content is framed by open dark margins while bleed-fronts sit behind content as masked zones rather than filled blocks.
### Density
Medium editorial density: spacious presentation areas with compact, legible mono operational data.
### Responsive
Every artifact renders well from ~390px mobile to 2560px+ ultra-wide; minmax(0,1fr) columns and min-width:0 children keep grids from blowing out. Only the full-bleed hero spans 100vw; contained content caps and centres.
### Breakpoints
- **Mobile**: 390px
- **Phone**: 560px
- **Tablet**: 760px
- **Tablet Lg**: 1024px
- **Desktop**: 1280px
- **Ultrawide**: 2560px
## Guidance
### Do
- Build colour from masked, feathered bleed-fronts at 0.08–0.22 opacity rising from one edge of a surface.
- Encode values as granulation density in a well and let the eye weigh them under a JetBrains Mono number.
- Reserve exactly one charged madder drop per surface for emphasis.
- Keep ink linework and mono metadata crisp; mask pigment away from text for AA contrast on the dark ground.
- Style every form control explicitly; keep radii on the 16/24/9999 scale and the masthead open.
- Render the settled state with no JavaScript; layer reveal motion on top behind a class the script removes.
### Don't
- Do not lay the system on white paper or use pastel washes; the ground is saturated dark.
- Do not give a card an accent or highlight edge-stripe, and do not nest cards.
- Do not scatter splatter; more than one charge per surface reads as messy.
- Do not box the nav in a floating pill bar; let the masthead sit open across the header.
- Do not use serif display, default select/checkbox/radio/button styling, or symbol glyphs in copy.
### Accessibility
Maintain WCAG AA by keeping text on the dark ground or near-white ink, never on dense pigment. Focus states use a teal ring plus a soft teal wash halo. Touch targets are at least 44px; disabled states reduce opacity while preserving labels; motion is short with no parallax or flashing and respects prefers-reduced-motion.

## Components
### Composition
An asymmetric, channel-driven layout on a deep wet-paper indigo ground: a vertical pigment-channel rail beside offset content on the landing; an open masthead sidebar plus a single canvas on the dashboard — not a three-column workspace. Cards carry a bleed-front from one edge; ink linework and mono metadata stay reserved and crisp.
### Hierarchy
Archivo Expanded uppercase carries display; Archivo carries body; JetBrains Mono carries every numeric reading and label. Priority is signalled by where the bleed-front advances and how dense the granulation is, not by many colours.
### Density
Medium editorial density with generous breathing room; the pigment fronts need space, so avoid edge-to-edge packed cards. Every group keeps at least 24px internal padding.
### Signature
Every state is a bleed front — a masked feathered pigment frontier rising from an edge at 0.08–0.22 opacity. Values are granulation wells (grain density settling to a base); emphasis is one madder charged-drop; selection is the wet front advancing across a control, never a dashed stroke or an edge-stripe.
## 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-019ef897-271a-7750-a228-ff027784b0dd/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 Build colour from masked, feathered bleed-fronts at 0.08–0.22 opacity rising from one edge of a surface.
- Do Encode values as granulation density in a well and let the eye weigh them under a JetBrains Mono number.
- Do Reserve exactly one charged madder drop per surface for emphasis.
- Do Keep ink linework and mono metadata crisp; mask pigment away from text for AA contrast on the dark ground.
- Do Style every form control explicitly; keep radii on the 16/24/9999 scale and the masthead open.
- Do Render the settled state with no JavaScript; layer reveal motion on top behind a class the script removes.
- Don't Do not lay the system on white paper or use pastel washes; the ground is saturated dark.
- Don't Do not give a card an accent or highlight edge-stripe, and do not nest cards.
- Don't Do not scatter splatter; more than one charge per surface reads as messy.
- Don't Do not box the nav in a floating pill bar; let the masthead sit open across the header.
- Don't Do not use serif display, default select/checkbox/radio/button styling, or symbol glyphs in copy.
### Accessibility
Maintain WCAG AA by keeping text on the dark ground or near-white ink, never on dense pigment. Focus states use a teal ring plus a soft teal wash halo. Touch targets are at least 44px; disabled states reduce opacity while preserving labels; motion is short with no parallax or flashing and respects prefers-reduced-motion.
## Imagery Direction
### Pairs With
lavis
### Summary
Subjects rendered in layered transparent watercolor glazing on a deep wet ground: translucent granulated mineral-pigment washes bleeding and blooming upward as a feathered capillary front, crisp dry-brush edges and fine black ink contour lines, with one restrained gold splatter cluster. Indigo, prussian-blue and teal carry the field; a single madder streak marks emphasis.
### Subjects
- koi and carp in dark water
- ink-and-wash river currents
- charged pigment drops hitting wet paper
- night estuaries and tidal blooms
- brand pigment plates
### Usage
Full-bleed luminous hero with the colour bleeding up from a deeper lower edge so low-anchored copy stays legible; feature and avatar shots are single centred subjects filling the frame. No text, letters, or logos in the image.

# Indigo shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019ef897-271a-7750-a228-ff027784b0dd`
Slug: `indigo`
## Intent
Indigo is a wet-pigment material system: colour is treated as a material in motion on saturated dark paper. Every interface state is a bleed front advancing from an edge, and every value is grain settling into a well. Where most watercolor systems lay calm washes over bright white, Indigo takes the opposite moment — the instant a charged brush meets damp paper and the pigment travels — so colour glows out of a deep wet-paper ground rather than sitting on top of white. It is built for colour-batch and pigment-QA tools, dye-floor consoles, and creative-workflow products that need to catch a problem while the dye is still moving.
## 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`.

## Visual character to preserve
- Deep wet-paper indigo ground (#0C1020) with a faint fibre grain across every surface, pigment glowing out of the dark.
- Masked, feathered bleed-fronts rise from one edge of cards, nav items, alerts, and selected table rows to signal state.
- Granulation wells encode values as pigment-grain density settling toward a base under a mono number.
- A single madder charged-drop marks the primary action; one restrained gold splatter cluster marks a charge confirmation.
- Wide Archivo Expanded uppercase mastheads over Archivo body and JetBrains Mono numerics — no serif, no italic.

}
## 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/indigo/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: Build colour from masked, feathered bleed-fronts at 0.08–0.22 opacity rising from one edge of a surface.; Encode values as granulation density in a well and let the eye weigh them under a JetBrains Mono number.; Reserve exactly one charged madder drop per surface for emphasis.; Keep ink linework and mono metadata crisp; mask pigment away from text for AA contrast on the dark ground.; Style every form control explicitly; keep radii on the 16/24/9999 scale and the masthead open.; Render the settled state with no JavaScript; layer reveal motion on top behind a class the script removes.
- Do not: Do not lay the system on white paper or use pastel washes; the ground is saturated dark.; Do not give a card an accent or highlight edge-stripe, and do not nest cards.; Do not scatter splatter; more than one charge per surface reads as messy.; Do not box the nav in a floating pill bar; let the masthead sit open across the header.; Do not use serif display, default select/checkbox/radio/button styling, or symbol glyphs in copy.
