# Datadog — Design Reference (measured)

Measured design tokens extracted from `https://www.datadoghq.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), 357 observation records.
- Primary action color observed as `#632ca6` (basis: declared, confidence 0.92).
- Dominant font family: **NationalWeb** (×696).
- Type scale observed at 8 sizes from 14px to 38px.
- Corner radius values in use: 4px, 1px, 6px, 5px….
- Not observed in this extraction: cards, badges.

## Colors

### Role Tokens

Semantic roles inferred from observed usage. `basis` tells how the role was established (declared CSS var > cross-validated > inferred).

| Token | Value | Basis | Confidence | Observed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `{color.primary}` | `#632ca6` | declared | 0.92 | ×36 — --bs-primary |
| `{color.background}` | `#ffffff` | cross-validated | 0.95 | ×761 |
| `{color.ink}` | `#d63384` | declared | 0.92 | ×0 — --bs-pink |
| `{color.surface}` | `#eeeeee` | inferred | 0.7 | ×2 |
| `{color.accent}` | `#0060ff` | inferred | 0.57 | ×2 |

## Typography

### Font Families

| Family | Observed |
|---|---|
| `NationalWeb` | ×696 |

Use **NationalWeb** as the default family — it accounts for the overwhelming majority of observed text nodes.

## Accessibility (WCAG Contrast)

|---|---|---|---|---|
| `#ffffff` | `#110617` | 19.77 | pass | observed ×172 |
| `#ffffff` | `#000000` | 21 | pass | observed ×84 |
| `#ffffff` | `#ffffff` | 1 | fail | observed ×26 |
| `#555555` | `#ffffff` | 7.46 | pass | observed ×25 |
| `#212529` | `#ffffff` | 15.43 | pass | observed ×17 |
| `#212529` | `#f6f6f6` | 14.27 | pass | observed ×9 |
| `#632ca6` | `#ffffff` | 8.6 | pass | observed ×7 |
| `#ffffff` | `#632ca6` | 8.6 | pass | observed ×3 |
| `#632ca6` | `#f6f6f6` | 7.96 | pass | observed ×3 |
| `#000000` | `#ffffff` | 21 | pass | observed ×2 |
| `#d63384` | `#ffffff` | 4.5 | pass | ink_on_background |
| `#ffffff` | `#632ca6` | 8.6 | pass | white_on_primary |

1 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}` (`#632ca6`) for primary actions only — that is where it was observed.
- Default text pairing: `{color.ink}` (`#d63384`) on `{color.background}` (`#ffffff`).
- Set all text in `NationalWeb` (fallbacks only for glyph coverage).
- Pick corner radii from the measured set (4px, 1px, 6px, 5px) — 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 (cards, 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.
- Treat `{color.accent}` with caution — confidence below 0.6.
