Overview

Graphite Elevate: Design System for Evidence

The foundations of the Evidence brand - color, type, space, shape, and the components built from them. Use the switches above to compare today's brand against the Elevate direction, one aspect at a time; each switch's info icon explains exactly what it changes.

Color palette

One accent on a neutral foundation

A single accent color carries every primary action and highlight. A neutral ramp does the structural work - text, surfaces, lines - and a small semantic set signals success, warning, and error. Nothing decorative competes with the content.

Contrast pairings

Every bright has its dark

Each bright surface has one named dark companion. These are the colour rules; the cards below demonstrate them.

  • Only used in pairs. A bright is never used alone or as text, and a dark is never used without its bright. Content on a bright surface takes its dark companion; bright content sits on the dark companion. Never Slate or translucent on a pairing surface.
  • Dark lime on bright green. Titles and text on a bright-green surface use Dark lime #002E11 - the signature pairing.
  • Slate 900 everywhere else. All other text is Slate 900 #0F172A by default; never light grey unless the author intends it.

Typography

Hierarchy through scale and weight

A display treatment carries headlines and big numbers; a workhorse face handles body, labels, and data. Size and weight set the hierarchy, and tabular figures keep numbers aligned.

Buttons

Three levels of action

One clear primary action per view, a quieter secondary, and a minimal tertiary. Buttons are interactive controls - they never carry status.

Badges and tags

Badges label state, they don't act

Badges and tags mark state - active, healthy, warning, critical. They are not interactive and are never styled as buttons. Different purpose, different shape.

Active Healthy Warning Critical
Cards & containers

Surfaces that group content

Cards gather related content onto their own surface, set apart from the page by a border or a fill. The container frames; the content leads.

Proof, not noise

Every finding ships with evidence of real-world financial impact - not a CVSS guess.

Insurer-grade

Detections derive from actuarial loss data. If it never caused a payout, it's not a FIRE.

Fix what's real

Less than 1% of vulnerabilities actually matter. We find the ones that do.

Inputs & forms

Fields that read as fields

Form inputs are clearly bounded and comfortably sized, paired with a verb-first action and a visible focus state.

Spacing

Built for breathing room

A small, fixed set of spacing tokens creates rhythm and breathing room. Reusing the same steps everywhere keeps every gap deliberate.

Shapes

One radius scale

Corners follow a single radius scale, applied consistently from small chrome up to cards and full pills.

Icons

A simple, familiar icon language

Lucide icons - one geometric style at a consistent stroke. Two sizes: 24px for standard UI, 16px for dense layouts.

24 × 24
16 × 16
Icon chip - the lime signature
The same chip, all five pairings

The signature move: a generous, bold glyph in a soft chip - 32px chip, 28px icon at a heavy stroke (2.6), 12px radius. Lime green / Dark lime is the default; the identical chip works in all five secondary pairings (soft surface + dark-companion glyph) to carry categorical meaning. On a coloured surface it flips to translucent white; on dark, a lime glyph.

Signature components

A signature moment

An inverted band - the accent on the darkest neutral - reserved for the loudest moments. Used sparingly, it carries weight.

A content band that inverts the palette: Evidence green on near-black ink, used sparingly for the biggest moments.
