# Cohere — Design Reference (measured)

Measured design tokens extracted from `https://cohere.com/` by designskill-extract/3.2.0.
Every value below was observed in the live page (×N = observation count). Values not listed were **not observed** — do not invent them.
This document is `reference_only`: an analysis of a third-party site, not a license to its brand assets.

## Overview

- Extraction mode: **full-render** (viewports 390/768/1440px × light/dark), 1 page(s), 573 observation records.
- Primary action color observed as `#ff7759` (basis: cross-validated, confidence 0.6).
- Dominant font family: **Unica77 Cohere Web** (×909; secondary CohereMono ×52).
- Type scale observed at 8 sizes from 12px to 32px.
- Corner radius values in use: 22px, 12px, 8px, 4px….
- Not observed in this extraction: badges.

| `#75758a` | `#ffffff` | 4.5 | pass | muted_on_background |

2 measured pair(s) fail AA — if you reuse those pairs, adjust lightness until the ratio reaches 4.5:1.

## Usage Rules

### Do
- Use `{color.primary}` (`#ff7759`) for primary actions only — that is where it was observed.
- Default text pairing: `{color.ink}` (`#17171c`) on `{color.background}` (`#ffffff`).
- Set all text in `Unica77 Cohere Web` (fallbacks only for glyph coverage).
- Pick corner radii from the measured set (22px, 12px, 8px, 4px) — no intermediate values were observed.
- Cite this file's token names (`{color.*}`, `{type.*}`) when generating UI so output stays traceable to observations.

### Don't
- Don't invent colors, sizes, shadows, or spacing not listed above — absence means *not observed*, and this document records observations only.
- Don't assume the missing blocks (badges) don't exist on the site — they were simply not captured in this run.
- Don't copy brand assets (logo, wordmark, imagery, copy) — `reference_only` covers measured style values, not brand identity.
