Super. Sunlit paper desk with one amber marker.

  • SaaS
  • Mixed theme
  • 12 colors
  • 1 typeface

Super runs on a near-monochrome warm-neutral canvas that borrows the tactile grammar of a notebook — cream paper backgrounds, charcoal ink text, hairline dividers — and punctuates it with a single saturated amber that acts as the page's only chromatic accent. The result reads like a well-typeset document that has been wired to one working button: quiet, considered, and immediately legible about where to click. Typography is custom (Beausite) set tight at display sizes and confident at body sizes, giving the page editorial weight without heaviness. Components are lightweight — soft white cards sitting on cream, no decorative gradients, minimal elevation, ghost nav links, and a bold amber filled button as the sole loud element on most screens. The visual system extends Notion's own canvas palette (#f9f9f8, #37352f) and adds a sunlit warm accent to distinguish the brand from its parent tool.

  • Yellow supporting accent for decorative details and low-frequency emphasis. Do not promote it to the primary CTA color

Neutrals11

  • Footer background and deepest dark surface. The maximum darkness level in the surface stack

  • Heading emphasis, high-contrast dark surface for footer and dark feature sections, near-black for strong typographic moments

  • Primary text, dominant foreground color, nav elements, and high-emphasis UI. The workhorse neutral of the entire system

  • Secondary text and borders within card contexts. Slightly warmer than Ink Charcoal, echoes Notion's native text color

  • Supporting neutral for secondary UI, dividers, and muted labels.

  • Subtle warm-toned text for tertiary content, gives body copy a slight paper-on-desk warmth without being obviously chromatic

  • Near-gray with a faint cool tint, used for very low-emphasis body content and subtle borders

  • Secondary borders and dividers where more visual weight is needed than Hairline

  • Hairline borders, dividers, and subtle structural lines. The lightest visible neutral that still reads as a defined edge

  • Page background and outer canvas. Borrowed from Notion's own workspace palette to position Super as its native publishing layer

  • Card and elevated surface that sits on Cream Paper. Provides subtle separation through brightness contrast rather than shadow
