Vana. A dark protocol interface where electric blue traces the topography of user-owned data across a starfield of ASCII characters.

  • Crypto
  • Dark theme
  • 13 colors
  • 2 typefaces

Vana operates as a dark data-sovereign canvas: near-black surfaces host a vivid electric blue that functions less as decoration and more as signal. The hero's ASCII-art world map is not a graphic but a data texture — character density forms continents, suggesting the protocol maps personal data across the globe. Typography is restrained and geometric (Cofo Sans) with a pixel variant for technical metadata labels, creating tension between human-readable prose and machine-precise notation. Buttons are sharp-cornered (2px radius) and minimal, letting the blue carry the action language. The palette is deliberately narrow: one brand blue, two violet tints, and a stack of near-black surfaces, with green and pink appearing only as rare chromatic punctuation on outlined controls and decorative markers.

Brand2

  • Primary CTA fill, brand text, decorative ASCII pattern — the signal color that makes actions switched on against the dark canvas

  • Button borders, secondary accent — slightly lighter than Electric Indigo for outlined controls and hover states

Accent3

  • Outlined action border, light violet accent — ghost button outlines and muted decorative strokes

  • Rare chromatic punctuation — cursor marker, outlined button variant, location indicator on the data map

  • Rare chromatic punctuation — outlined button variant, decorative icon accent

Neutrals8

  • Page background — the base canvas everything floats on

  • Card and panel surfaces — one step above the canvas for contained content blocks

  • Dark elevated surface for cards, headers, and contained panels. Do not promote it to the primary CTA color

  • Borders in light sections, link underlines — visible only against the white band

  • Highest surface elevation, filled neutral button background — the brightest the neutrals get

  • Decorative SVG stroke and fill — warm-toned accent for abstract graphics and illustration details

  • Body text, secondary copy, subtle fill — quieter than Pure Signal for paragraphs and descriptions

  • Primary headings, button text, high-contrast text — the loudest text voice
