Honeycomb

Colors

The Honeycomb brand palette — every color available for design and development. For the narrative version with usage ratios, contrast pairings, and do/don't guidance, see the brand guide .

No Tailwind defaults. The framework's built-in palettes (red, orange, indigo, etc.) are not part of this design system. If you reach for a color, it must be one of the seven families below or one of the semantic tokens at the bottom.

Primary families

The four anchor palettes — Honey (primary), Lavender (secondary), Stone (warm neutrals), Grey (cool neutrals).

Brand Primary / Honey

Brand Secondary / Lavender

Stone Neutrals / Stone

Grey Neutrals / Grey

Secondary families

Supporting palettes for accent, illustration, and data visualization.

Grass

Sky

Sea

Semantic tokens

Role-based names that resolve to brand colors. Reach for these first in product code — the theme can be re-skinned without renaming every reference. Each maps to a CSS variable inapp/globals.css and a Tailwind utility like bg-primary or text-foreground.
