What makes Spline look like Spline

Almost entirely neutral: 99% of the page is painted in #000000 and #191A1D.

#0062FF is an accent: 0.1% of the page, as small fills such as buttons and badges. Keep it to small areas.

#CE9178 is an accent: under 0.1% of the page, used for text only. Don't fill large areas with it.

The largest type (40px Spline Sans) is medium weight, not bold (500).

Spline DESIGN.md for Claude Code, Cursor and Lovable

A DESIGN.md is the brief an AI coding tool reads before it writes UI. This one carries everything on this page as rules a model follows: the allowed colours and what each is for, the fonts with free stand-ins, the type scale, spacing, corners, and the things Spline’s design never does.

Put it in your project root and ask your tool to follow it: “Read DESIGN.md and build [your product] in this design language.” It describes a style, not Spline’s product, so use your own name, words and images.

How this was measured

PikSpec’s scanner read the spline.design home page in Chrome at 1440px wide on 15 October 2026: the computed styles of its elements, the fonts that rendered and how much of the page each colour covers. Websites change; capture the page yourself with PikSpec for today’s values, any page, and exports in five formats.
