Daylit. A modern ledger rewritten for the AI era.

  • Finance
  • Light theme
  • 17 colors
  • 3 typefaces

Daylit operates in a warm, candlelit fintech vernacular — a parchment-ivory canvas (#fbf9f6) replaces the cold white norm, and a single deep burgundy (#4d1520) does all the heavy lifting as text, borders, and the primary action fill. Pale lemon (#faffa7) acts as a secondary highlight accent that appears in decorative illustration blocks, testimonial card borders, and badge fills, keeping the palette to roughly two chromatic anchors. Type is large, confident, and tightly tracked — display sizes push to 76–85px with aggressive negative letter-spacing, giving headlines a sculptural, almost editorial quality. Components are flat and low-elevation: hairline warm borders, a 6px default radius, and a single brand-tinted shadow reserved for hero-scale elevation. The overall rhythm is spacious and unhurried, with generous section padding and a centered max-width reading column that feels like a well-typeset annual report rather than a dense SaaS dashboard.

  • Softened brand fill for secondary surfaces and SVG illustration shading

  • Rare saturated accent for micro-detail and decorative strokes

  • Muted body text and subtle borders when full brand ink would be too loud

  • Lowest-contrast neutral for decorative borders and inactive link text

  • Soft card border accent for warm-toned testimonial and content cards

  • Muted borders and secondary divider lines on cards and links
