Brand System & Design Handoff

Turn founder beliefs into guidelines, DESIGN.md and visual tokens that survive a real handoff. We kept AI context separate so code reviewers can see what drifted.

Audience

Founders, designers, product teams, and developer-minded marketers who need strategy to survive in product.

Outcome

One brand system for copy, UI, tokens, and AI coding handoffs.

Stage 3

Build visual tokens

Bridge palettes, accessibility, typography, tokens, dark-mode choices, motion, and depth.

Brand Color Accessibility Checker

A palette that looks fine in slides can break at body size. Check a single pair, then sweep up to 8 colors, see the WCAG grade and AA pass rate, and pick the text background combos that stay readable.

Color Blindness CVD Simulator

I once picked a red green combo that looked clear to me and invisible to someone else. Paste up to 8 palette colors, see them through protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia and achromatopsia, and catch which WCAG pairs break.

Screenshot Palette Extractor + Token Bridge

Saw a palette in a screenshot and want it as tokens? Drop the image, it extracts dominant colors in your browser, ranks contrast pairs, then bridges them to CSS variables and token JSON without uploading anything.

Design Token Starter Generator

Picking colors and fonts is the easy part, keeping them consistent is not. Set brand name, three core colors, heading and body stacks, spacing and radius, then get JSON and CSS variables your UI can share from day one.

Typography Scale & Pairing Generator

Fonts are not a system until sizes and roles are set. Describe the brand feel, set heading and body fonts with base size and ratio, then get clamp values, CSS variables, pairing notes and usage rules.

Dark Mode Token Checker

Test light and dark surface tokens, evaluate accent and semantic color roles, catch contrast gaps early, and export CSS you can trust.

Easing Curve & Motion Studio

Good motion is hard to describe until you see it move. Drag the easing curve handles, watch the dot run your timing live, then copy cubic bezier values, CSS variables, keyframes or motion tokens.

Drop-Shadow Filter Generator

Box shadow hugs a rectangle. This one hugs the shape itself. Build css filter drop shadow for logos, icons and transparent PNGs, test it on stars and cutout blobs, then copy the filter line when the depth looks right.

Grid System Visualizer

Most grids feel fine until you try to place real content. Set columns, gutters, max width and breakpoints, watch the overlay sit on actual blocks, then copy CSS Grid or Tailwind config that matches what you saw.
