The design language is that of a professional developer tool -- clean, information-dense, and deliberately restrained. Color is earned, not decorative; every hue in the system carries semantic meaning. The aesthetic sits between a code editor and a node-based creative tool. The core UI is strictly monochromatic -- black primary on white, with a warm zinc-gray scale for layering. This neutral foundation lets the **data type color system** (14 distinct hues encoding connection compatibility) and **accent families** (emerald for success, indigo for selection, pink for components) communicate meaning without competing for attention. The result is an interface that feels focused and engineered: complexity emerges from the user's composition, not from the UI itself. Light and dark themes are fully supported via class-based toggling (`.dark` on root). The dark theme uses a deep zinc-black (#18181B) as its foundation, not a tinted dark blue, keeping the neutral character consistent across both modes. ## Colors The palette is built in concentric layers: a monochromatic core, semantic accent families, status colors, and the domain-specific data type system. ### Core Palette - **Primary (#000000):** Solid black for primary buttons, text, focus rings, and tooltips. Inverts to white (#FFFFFF) in dark mode. This is the only "strong" color in structural UI. - **Background (#FFFFFF):** Pure white for cards, popovers, dialogs, and content areas. Dark mode uses #18181B (zinc-900). - **Muted (#F4F4F5):** Light zinc-gray for secondary surfaces -- canvas background, card fills, inactive states. Dark mode: #27272A. - **Muted Foreground (#71717A):** Medium gray for captions, descriptions, metadata, and secondary text. - **Border (#E4E4E7):** Subtle zinc border shared by inputs, cards, dividers, and node rings. Dark mode: #3F3F46. - **Placeholder (#A1A1AA):** Input placeholder text and canvas grid dots. ### Accent Families Accents that serve as **background / foreground pairs** for badges, tags, and contextual surfaces. Both colors in each pair must meet WCAG AA contrast (4.5:1): - **Emerald** (#D1F9E4 / #047857): Success, completion, enabled states, "built" indicators. Hover: #A7F3D0. - **Indigo** (#E0E7FF / #4F46E5): Node selection, active filters, focus indicators. Also used for the indigo scale (high: #4338CA, medium: #6366F1, low: #E0E7FF). - **Pink** (#FCE8F3 / #BE185D): Component icons, feminine-coded accents, static badges. - **Amber** (#FCE68A / #B45309): Warnings, caution badges. The background is a pale yellow; the foreground is burnt orange. **Standalone accent references** (used for text color, icons, and links -- not as bg/fg pairs): - **Blue** (#3B82F6): Links, informational highlights, chat triggers, sidebar primary. Always used on a white/dark background, never as a surface fill. Muted variant (#D5E4FF) available for subtle backgrounds. - **Purple** (#9333EA): AI/agent-related highlights. Muted variant (#EDD5FF) for subtle backgrounds. - **Red** (#DC2626): Error-related text and icons on neutral surfaces. ### Status Colors Used for build status indicators, connection health, and real-time feedback dots: - **Red** (#EF4444): Error, failed, disconnected. - **Green** (#4ADE80): Success, connected, running. - **Yellow** (#EAB308): Warning, building, pending. - **Blue** (#2563EB): Info, selected, active. - **Gray** (#6B7280): Inactive, unknown, disabled. ### Data Type Color System Langflow uses **14 distinct hues** to encode the type of data flowing through node connections. Each type has a saturated foreground and a light-tint background. In **light mode**, the base token is the saturated color (used for port dots and connection lines) and the `-foreground` token is the light tint (used for backgrounds). In **dark mode, these roles swap** -- the base becomes the light tint and the foreground becomes the saturated color. This ensures readability against both light and dark surfaces. | Data Type | Color Name | Hex (saturated) | Used For | |:----------|:-----------|:-----------------|:---------| | str / Text / Message | indigo | #4F46E5 | String data, text, messages | | Document | lime | #65A30D | Document objects | | Data / JSON | red | #DC2626 | Structured data, JSON | | Embeddings | emerald | #059669 | Vector embeddings | | LanguageModel | fuchsia | #C026D3 | LLM model objects | | Prompt | violet | #7C3AED | Prompt templates | | Tool | cyan | #0891B2 | Tool definitions | | Agent | purple | #9333EA | Agent objects | | number | purple | #9333EA | Numeric values | | DataFrame / Table | pink | #DB2777 | Tabular data | | chains | orange | #EA580C | Chain compositions | | memories | yellow | #CA8A04 | Memory objects | | unknown | gray | #4B5563 | Untyped or unknown | | inputs | emerald | #059669 | Input components | ### Note Colors Sticky notes on the canvas use soft pastel backgrounds: amber (#FCE68A), neutral (#E4E4E7), rose (#FECDD3), blue (#BFDBFE), lime (#D9F99D). ### Neon / Gradient Accents Used for flow icon gradients, tool-mode indicators, and decorative color swatches. These are high-saturation, high-energy colors intentionally outside the normal UI palette: - **Neon Fuchsia** (#FF3276) to **Digital Orchid** (#F480FF): Tool-mode gradient. - **Plasma Purple** (#7C3AED), **Electric Blue** (#3B10FD): Deep saturated anchors. - **Holo Frost** (#9AF3FD), **Terminal Green** (#9AFDA9): Light luminous accents. - **Cosmic Void** (#1A0250): Ultra-dark purple for contrast backgrounds. ## Typography Three font families serve distinct roles in the interface. - **Inter** (sans-serif, variable, 14-32 optical size): The primary UI typeface. Used for all headings, body text, labels, navigation, buttons, and form elements. Its large optical-size range and variable weight (100-900) provide precise control without font-switching. The neutral, geometric character keeps the UI professional and out of the way. - **JetBrains Mono** (monospace, variable): Used exclusively for code -- code blocks, JSON editors, API keys, component IDs, and any machine-readable content. Its programming ligatures and distinct character shapes (especially `0` vs `O`, `1` vs `l`) aid readability in dense technical contexts. Never used for UI labels or headings. - **Chivo** (display, variable): Reserved for marketing-facing or splash contexts (landing pages, onboarding screens). Its slightly condensed, geometric character adds personality at large sizes. Never used within the application workspace. The type scale is compact. The application uses 11px (`xxs`) through 16px (`base`) for the vast majority of UI. Headlines rarely exceed 24px inside the workspace. Density is preferred over visual hierarchy through size alone -- hierarchy is communicated through weight, color, and spatial grouping. ## Layout The application follows a **sidebar + infinite canvas** model. A collapsible left sidebar (19rem when expanded, 4rem when collapsed to icons) holds navigation, component search, and category panels. The main area is a pannable, zoomable ReactFlow canvas where nodes live. Spacing follows a strict **4px base grid**: - **4px** (`xs`): Micro-adjustments -- icon padding within buttons, badge margins, tight inline spacing. - **8px** (`sm`): Standard internal padding for compact components, gaps between inline elements. - **16px** (`md`): Card content padding, standard gaps between sibling elements, default component padding. - **24px** (`lg`): Section margins, dialog padding, sidebar header/footer padding. - **32px** (`xl`): Major layout divisions, generous whitespace between sections. - **48px - 64px** (`2xl` - `3xl`): Page-level margins, hero spacing. **Breakpoints:** - `mdd: 45rem` (720px) -- medium-density layout shift - `xl: 1200px` -- wide layout - `2xl: 1400px` -- container max-width - `3xl: 1500px` -- extra-wide The canvas itself is unbounded -- nodes can be placed anywhere. The sidebar is the only fixed-width structural element. ## Elevation & Depth Elevation is minimal and functional. The design avoids heavy shadows, instead using **border-based containment** and **tonal shifts** to communicate layering. Depth is communicated through three levels: ### Level 0: Canvas The infinite workspace background. A dotted grid pattern provides spatial orientation without visual noise. - **Light mode:** Zinc-gray (#F4F4F5) background with medium-gray dots (#A1A1AA). - **Dark mode:** Pure black (#000000) background with dark zinc dots (#3F3F46). ### Level 1: Nodes & Cards Content containers that sit on the canvas. White background with a soft ambient shadow. - **Shadow:** `0 0px 15px -3px rgba(0,0,0,0.1), 0 0px 6px -4px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)` -- barely perceptible, just enough to lift nodes off the grid. - **Selected state:** An indigo ring (#4F46E5) replaces the default border, immediately communicating focus. - **Frozen state:** A special icy glow effect -- `0 0 10px 2px rgba(128,190,230,0.5)` shadow with a 2px `rgba(128,190,219,0.86)` border and frosted overlay. Signals the node is locked from editing. ### Level 2: Popovers & Modals Overlaid surfaces that demand attention. White background with `shadow-lg` and a border. - **Entry animation:** Scale from 0.95 with a clip-path reveal, 400ms duration, `cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)` easing (spring-like overshoot). - **Exit animation:** Reverse at 500ms for a slightly more deliberate dismissal. - **Overlay:** Semi-transparent background to dim the canvas. ### Active States Interactive feedback is communicated through micro-animations rather than shadow changes: - **Button press:** `active:scale-[0.97]` -- a subtle inward squeeze. - **Hover:** Background color shift to accent or muted, never shadow addition. - **Focus ring:** 1px ring using the `ring` token (black in light, white in dark). ## Shapes The shape language is subtly rounded -- not pill-shaped, not sharp. The base radius is **8px** (`--radius: 0.5rem`), which gives cards, buttons, and containers a modern but not toy-like feel. - **lg (8px):** The default. Cards, modals, buttons, inputs, dropdown content, node containers. - **md (6px):** Nested or secondary elements -- tooltip content, compact controls, dialog close buttons. - **sm (4px):** Tight elements -- badges, checkbox corners, compact inline inputs, select items. - **xl (12px):** Prominent containers -- dialog content, node toolbars, sidebar inset panels. - **full (9999px):** Circular elements -- avatars, status dots, switch tracks, scrollbar thumbs, badge pills. Borders are thin. Standard weight is 1px. Occasional 1.5px or 1.75px for emphasis on selected or focus states. All borders use the `border` token color -- never a hard black or white line. ## Components ### Buttons The button system uses 7 semantic variants: - **Default (primary):** Solid black background, white text. The highest-emphasis action on any screen. Hover darkens to #27272A. - **Secondary:** Muted background with border, dark text. For secondary actions alongside a primary button. - **Destructive:** Red background, white text. Reserved for delete, remove, and irreversible actions. - **Outline:** Transparent with border. For medium-emphasis actions. Hover fills with the input color. - **Ghost:** Transparent, no border. For toolbar actions and icon buttons. Hover fills with accent background. - **Warning:** Dark warning-foreground background. For caution-related actions. - **Link:** Underlined text with no background. For inline text links. All buttons share: 40px default height, `rounded-lg` (8px), `font-medium` (500 weight), `text-sm` (14px). Focus state is a 1px ring. Disabled state is `opacity-70` with `pointer-events-none`. The `active:scale-[0.97]` press effect is optional but recommended for primary actions. **Size variants:** `lg` (44px), `default` (40px), `md` (32px), `sm` (36px), `xs` (compact), and three icon sizes (`iconMd` 6px padding, `icon` 4px padding, `iconSm` 2px padding). ### Badges Inline status indicators and tags. Always pill-shaped (`rounded-full`) with `font-semibold` text. Available in 6 semantic variants: default (primary fill), gray, secondary (muted fill), destructive, emerald (success), pink, purple (outlined), and error (light red fill). Three size tiers: `sm` (16px height, 12px text), `md` (20px height, 14px text), `lg` (24px height, 16px text), plus `tag` (18px height, 11px text) for compact inline labels. ### Cards Content containers on surfaces. `rounded-lg` border on muted background with `shadow-sm`. Internal structure: header (16px padding, title in semi-bold 16px, optional description in muted 14px), content area (16px horizontal padding), footer (16px padding, flex row). The title uses `leading-tight tracking-tight` for density. ### Inputs Text inputs use a bordered white background with rounded-lg corners. Placeholder text is in muted gray (#A1A1AA). Three interaction states: default (border color), hover (border darkens to `muted-foreground`), focus (border goes to `foreground`, placeholder becomes transparent). Disabled inputs get muted background and reduced text. A compact `input-edit-node` variant is used for inline editing within nodes. ### Selects & Dropdowns Select triggers are 32px height with border and right-aligned chevron. Dropdown content uses the popover surface with `shadow-md`, `rounded-md`, and slide-in animation from the opening side. Items highlight with the accent background on focus. Separators use a 1px muted line. ### Dialogs & Modals Fixed-position overlays with a white `rounded-xl` container, 24px padding, and `shadow-lg`. Enter with a 400ms spring animation (scale 0.95 to 1.0 with clip-path reveal). Close button in the top-right corner. Title in 18px semi-bold, description in muted 14px. Footer uses `flex-row` with right-aligned actions. ### Tabs Inline tab bars with no background. The active tab gets a 2px bottom border in `currentColor` (primary). Inactive tabs show text in `muted-foreground`, hovering to `primary`. No rounded backgrounds on tab triggers -- the underline is the sole active indicator. ### Form Controls **Checkbox:** 16px square, `rounded-sm` (4px), border in muted-foreground. Checked state fills with primary and shows a white check icon. **Switch:** 44x24px track with a 16px thumb. Unchecked track uses the `input` color; checked track uses `primary`. Thumb slides 20px with a transition. **Radio:** 16px circle with primary border, filled center dot when selected. ### Tooltips Bordered popover surface (not solid black as one might expect) with `rounded-md`, `shadow-md`, 14px text, and directional slide-in animation. Content is `z-[99]` to sit above all other UI. ### Alerts Rounded bordered containers with icon + text layout. Default variant uses standard foreground colors. Destructive variant tints the border and text with the destructive red, and the icon inherits that color. ### Canvas Nodes The core UI element of Langflow. Each node is a white rounded card on the canvas containing typed input/output ports, configuration fields, and a status indicator. - **Port dots** use the data type color system to visually encode connection compatibility. When two ports share a compatible type, their colors match, providing immediate visual feedback. - **Selected nodes** show an indigo ring (`node-selected: #4F46E5`) replacing the standard border. - **Frozen nodes** display the icy glow effect with a frosted overlay, signaling they are locked from modification. - **Node toolbar** appears on hover/selection: a floating `rounded-xl` container with icon buttons, 1px border, and `shadow-sm`. - **Status indicators:** Green (built successfully), red (error), yellow (building), gray (idle). A spinner animation shows during active builds. ### Sidebar Collapsible panel (19rem expanded, 4rem icon-only) with smooth 300ms width transitions. Menu buttons are 32px height, `rounded-md`, with accent background on hover and active states. Supports nested sub-menus with left border indicators. In dark mode, the sidebar has its own dedicated color tokens (darker surface, brighter primary) for visual separation from the canvas. ## Do's and Don'ts - Do use the monochromatic core palette for all structural UI -- reserve color for semantic meaning - Do maintain WCAG AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text and interactive elements) - Do use Inter for all application UI text; JetBrains Mono only for code and machine-readable content - Do keep data type colors visually distinct -- they encode connection compatibility and must be recognizable at small sizes (port dots, connection lines) - Do support both light and dark themes -- every color token must have a dark-mode equivalent - Do use the 4px base grid for all spacing decisions - Don't introduce new accent colors without a clear semantic role in the system - Don't use shadows heavier than the node shadow -- the UI should feel flat, layered through tone rather than depth - Don't mix border-radius values within the same visual group (all buttons in a toolbar share the same radius) - Don't use Chivo inside the application workspace -- it is reserved for marketing and onboarding contexts - Don't use opacity below 0.7 for disabled states -- the element must remain readable - Don't use solid color fills for hover states on ghost/outline buttons -- use the accent or muted surface tokens - Don't place data type colors on structural UI elements (borders, backgrounds) outside of the node/port system
