N8n

n8n is a dark workflow canvas that feels like staring into a running machine at night — deep purple-black surfaces lit from within by orange fire and electric blue current. The #0e0918 base is nearly black but carries a violet undertone that makes the darkness feel technological rather than neutral. The signature visual move is the orange-to-red gradient CTA against this void: rgb(253,137,37) → rgb(255,12,0) at 30deg creates an ember glow that reads as kinetic energy. Typography runs entirely in geomanist at weights 300 and 400 — the light weight at 54px headline sizes feels deliberately restrained, letting the lightning bolt hero illustration do the shouting. Cards are not floating objects but embedded panels, using inset white-10% borders and faint orange inset bottom-glows (rgba(255,142,93,0.3)) that suggest backlit hardware. Use #0e0918 as the only page background — never substitute with pure #000000 or neutral dark gray; the violet undertone is load-bearing for the palette Apply the Ember gradient (linear-gradient(30deg, rgb(253,137,37), rgb(255,12,0))) exclusively to primary CTA buttons — using it for decorative elements dilutes its focal pull Set geomanist 300 at line-height 0.88 for 48–54px display headlines with letter-spacing -0.018em to -0.020em; the tight stack is intentional Use inset box-shadows (rgba(255,255,255,0.1) 1px inset + rgba(255,142,93,0.3) bottom inset) instead of border properties on transparent-background cards Maintain card surfaces at rgb(26,22,36) or rgb(27,23,40) — exactly one visible step above the base void; three distinct surface levels exist: page → card → elevated panel Use 8px border-radius for buttons and inputs, 16px for standard cards, 24px for large feature panels — apply the correct tier per component scale Apply Electric Current gradient (linear-gradient(141deg, #077ac7, #6b21ef)) only for link underlines, focus rings, and canvas connection lines — it signals interactivity and data flow Never use a warm or neutral dark gray (#1a1a1a, #222, #333) as a surface — all surfaces must carry the violet undertone that differentiates n8n's dark from generic dark mode Never use geomanist 700 or 800 weight — the type system is intentionally limited to 300 and 400; heavy weight breaks the restrained visual register Never place body text in #ffffff at normal reading sizes — use #d1cece or #e5e7eb; pure white at 15–16px creates harshness against the violet-black background Never use drop-shadows (outset box-shadows) for card elevation — elevation is expressed through background color stepping, not shadow lifting Never use the Ember gradient as a background fill for sections or banners — it appears only on interactive CTA buttons Never apply 9999px radius to cards or section containers — pill radius (9999px) is reserved for tags, status indicators, and circular icon wrappers only Never show partner/customer logos in their brand colors — all logos in the social proof row must be monochrome #d1cece to avoid palette pollution
