# Kia — Design Reference (measured)

Measured design tokens extracted from `https://www.kia.com/kr` 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), 499 observation records.
- Primary action color observed as `#05141f` (basis: cross-validated, confidence 0.97).
- Dominant font family: **Kia Signature Bold** (×1187; secondary Kia Signature Regular ×820).
- Type scale observed at 8 sizes from 12px to 28px.
- Corner radius values in use: 15px, 8px, 3px, 4px….
- Not observed in this extraction: nav, forms, badges.

## Colors

### Role Tokens

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

| `{color.background}` | `#ffffff` | cross-validated | 0.95 | ×1257 |
| `{color.ink}` | `#697278` | cross-validated | 0.95 | ×904 |
| `{color.muted}` | `#828a8f` | inferred | 0.59 | ×14 |
| `{color.surface}` | `#dadbdc` | inferred | 0.7 | ×435 |
| `{color.accent}` | `#0000ee` | inferred | 0.65 | ×18 |

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}` (`#05141f`) for primary actions only — that is where it was observed.
- Default text pairing: `{color.ink}` (`#697278`) on `{color.background}` (`#ffffff`).
- Set all text in `Kia Signature Bold` (fallbacks only for glyph coverage).
- Pick corner radii from the measured set (15px, 8px, 3px, 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 (nav, forms, 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.muted}` with caution — confidence below 0.6.
