Framer. Cinematic black gallery.

  • Design tools
  • Dark theme
  • 13 colors

Framer operates in absolute darkness: a pure black canvas (#000000) where white typography and one electric blue (#0099ff) do all the talking. The design language is cinematic and confident — oversized condensed display type (GT Walsheim at 85–110px) anchors every section, while the rest of the interface dissolves into near-black surface layers. The signature rhythm is alternating maximalist hero typography against minimal, gridded screenshots of customer sites, all bordered by hairline dividers and powered by compact 10px spacing. The blue accent never fills buttons; it traces edges, outlines cards, and fires on micro-interactions like text selection and link hover — restrained, never decorative. Components are weightless: pill-shaped controls, thin borders, and barely-there elevation that lets the photography and editorial typography carry the weight.

Framer

Brand1

  • Deep blue-black for box-shadows and subtle tinted surface washes — carries the brand's cool undertone into elevation

Accent1

  • Brand accent: link underlines, active nav state, focus rings, outlined button borders, decorative card borders, and text selection — appears only on edges and micro-states, never as a fill

Neutrals11

  • Page background, primary canvas — the void that everything else sits on. Also used for filled primary buttons, nav background, card borders, and the vast majority of interface borders

  • Card surface layer, elevated panels, secondary background — barely lifted from the void to suggest depth without leaving the dark family

  • Higher elevation cards and modal surfaces — the second step up from the page

  • Top-tier surface for popovers, tooltips, and deeply nested panels

  • Mid-tone fills, hover states, subtle panel backgrounds

  • Button hover, pressed states, and darker UI fills

  • Muted text, secondary labels, disabled states, subtle borders

  • Helper text, tertiary metadata, thin dividers

  • Secondary text, body copy at lower emphasis, border dividers

  • Light borders, subtle dividers on dark surfaces

  • Primary text, headings, filled button backgrounds, light-on-dark iconography — the dominant foreground against the void
