DESIGN.md — Neon

Overview

Neon's design system channels its name — a glowing green accent on pitch-dark surfaces creates a cyberpunk-tinged developer aesthetic. The design is sleek and minimal, designed to feel fast and futuristic while staying highly legible for database management workflows.

Do's and Don'ts

Do

  • Use the neon green sparingly — it's powerful at small doses
  • Keep dark surfaces consistent across all interfaces
  • Use monospace for everything database-related

Don't

  • Don't use green for error states — it's the brand color
  • Don't place neon green text on light backgrounds
  • Don't use gradients — the brand is about flat, glowing accents
