TEAL ACCENT COLOUR RULE

Always use Nolen Teal #00CCAA for inline teal accents

Word and phrase highlights inside H1, H2, section labels, and CTA links must always use #00CCAA (Nolen Teal). Never use Deep Teal #009980 for typographic accents — Deep Teal is reserved exclusively for hover and active states on interactive elements.

✓ DO

H2 accent: color: var(--teal)#00CCAA
Section label: color: #00CCAA
CTA link: color: var(--teal)
H1 teal line: color: #00CCAA

✕ DON'T

H2 accent: color: var(--teal-deep)#009980
Section label: color: #009980
Deep Teal is for: hover states, icon backgrounds, active buttons only

Spacing & Radius

4px base grid. Border radius uses 12px (--radius) as the primary token — confirmed over the brand-spec 8px as the better visual choice.

Chatbot UI

The signed-off reference build for the Nolen conversation interface. This is the single source of truth — documented sections 01–04: Dawn user-message bubble, Cream White canvas (#F5F0E8), progress indicator, and the full-page app mockup. The header sits on Warm Charcoal with the logo top-left; teal is reserved for the online indicator and real CTAs only — never the user-message bubble.

Writing Guidelines

  • Lead with the benefit, not the feature.
  • Use active voice. "Nolen delivers reports" — not "Reports are delivered by Nolen."
  • Avoid superlatives unless backed by data.
  • One idea per sentence. Short paragraphs.
  • Address the reader as "you" / "your team."
  • Technical accuracy over marketing fluff — always.
