    Spectrum 2 takes the professional Spectrum foundation and makes it approachable for a much wider audience. The default is light, corners grow (8px fields, 16px cards, 24px feature blocks), buttons become filled pills — primary blue #3B63FB for the main action, near-black #292929 secondary and soft grey #E9E9E9 for tertiary actions — and headlines go heavy and large. Colour is more expressive: fuchsia, indigo, seafoam and orange tints fill feature cards and icon tiles, and a fuchsia-to-blue gradient marks the hero moments, while the interface chrome stays clean white and grey.

    Best for

    • Creative apps aimed at beginners and casual makers
    • Template, social-content and quick-design tools
    • Education and learning platforms for creatives
    • Marketing sites for creative SaaS

    Avoid for

    • Dense pro tools that need maximum canvas space
    • Serious finance or legal products
    • Brands that need strict monochrome restraint

    ✓ Do

    • Use filled pills: primary blue #3B63FB for the main action, near-black #292929 secondary, grey #E9E9E9 for tertiary
    • Give feature cards 16–24px corners and a pastel tint with a saturated icon tile
    • Set headlines heavy (800) and large; keep body at a comfortable 16px

    ✕ Don't

    • Don’t default to dark charcoal panels or outlined buttons — that is classic Spectrum
    • Don’t use the gradient on more than one or two hero elements per view
    • Don’t mix more than four tint families on one screen (the gradient is not a tint family)

    Not to be confused with

    On mobile

    Spectrum 2 is mobile-friendly by design: 44–48px filled pill buttons, 16px cards, pastel icon tiles in lists, a gradient featured card and a floating white pill tab bar whose active item is a near-black circle. Keep body text at 16px and corners consistent.
