Color palette
TL;DR
Forge.laravel relies heavily on a stark, high-contrast monochrome palette. The primary canvas is pure white (`#ffffff`) or deep olive-black (`#151715`), with text primarily rendered in `#141e12` or `#6b716a`. The system uses InstrumentSans for crisp, geometric headings and body copy, occasionally introducing Merriweather or IBM Plex Mono for editorial or technical contrast. Accents are extremely restrained, utilizing deep greens (`#002700`) and vibrant teals (`#18b69b`) strictly for interactive states or subtle borders. Components favor sharp edges (`0px`) or tight curves (`6px`), with elevation handled by delicate borders rather than heavy shadows.
