Joby Aviation's design language is cinematic aviation editorial: full-bleed golden-hour photography carries the narrative, with a warm parchment canvas (#f5f4df) and near-black ink (#0e1620) doing all the structural work. The interface stays minimal and almost invisible so the imagery does the persuading — text overlays float over photographs with thin left-border accents rather than boxed containers. Vivid electric blue (#007ae5) appears only as functional punctuation on floating cards, the bottom tour strip, and select icon strokes, while the custom Joby Display type at near-200px sizes whispers the headline rather than shouts it. Components are light, floating, and round; even the tour card and small chips use generous 16px radii, and the navigation is reduced to a centered logomark with a hamburger and a single text link. The system never decorates — every surface is either a photograph, the warm cream canvas, or a single solid blue band.

Brand3

  • Blue wash for highlight backgrounds, decorative bands, and soft emphasis behind content. Do not promote it to the primary CTA color

  • Secondary brand surface for navigation bars and accent fills — darker register of the blue for layering

  • Blue accent for outlined action borders, linked labels, and lightweight interactive emphasis. Do not promote it to the primary CTA color

Accent3

  • Warm accent fill for decorative highlights and select illustration elements — echoes the golden-hour photography palette

  • Soft warm surface accent, peachy wash that harmonizes with the sunset photography

  • Brighter blue accent for small icon and illustration highlights — lighter pop than the primary Electric Blue

Neutrals4

  • Body text, headings, hairline borders, icon strokes — near-black with a cool blue undertone that pairs with the cream

  • Warm gray used in card box-shadow tinting — gives elevation a warm cast rather than a cold blue

  • Soft secondary surface wash, subtle section backgrounds when cream needs contrast

  • Page canvas, card surfaces, text color on dark imagery — the warm off-white that keeps photography from feeling cold
