Fast data-platform design with bold red identity, black technical contrast, and performance-first product framing.
1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Redis should feel extremely fast, direct, and infrastructure-ready. The design language needs to connect open source origins, cloud data products, caching, vector search, and real-time app performance.
- Mood: fast, bold, technical, reliable, direct
- Density: medium, with product cards, metrics, and architecture diagrams
- Character: red brand energy, black technical framing, white docs clarity
2. Color Palette & Roles
| Token | Hex | Role |
|---|---|---|
--redis-red | #DC382D | Primary brand and action |
--redis-red-dark | #B91C1C | Hover / pressed state |
--redis-black | #111111 | Dark technical surface |
--ink-strong | #171717 | Primary text |
--ink-muted | #64748B | Secondary text |
--surface-page | #F8FAFC | Page background |
--surface-card | #FFFFFF | Cards and docs surfaces |
--border-default | #E2E8F0 | Dividers and inputs |
--success | #16A34A | Healthy state |
--warning | #F59E0B | Caution state |
Use red for brand and primary action. Use black for technical gravity and code/architecture surfaces.
3. Typography Rules
css--font-sans: Inter, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", sans-serif;
--font-mono: "SF Mono", "JetBrains Mono", "Roboto Mono", Menlo, monospace;
| Element | Size | Weight | Line Height |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hero Display | 60px | 800 | 1.04 |
| Page Title | 42px | 750 | 1.1 |
| Section Title | 30px | 700 | 1.2 |
| Card Title | 22px | 700 | 1.3 |
| Body | 16px | 400 | 1.6 |
| Small | 14px | 400 | 1.45 |
| Code | 13px | 500 | 1.55 |
4. Component Stylings
css.button-primary {
min-height: 44px;
padding: 0 18px;
border: 1px solid #DC382D;
border-radius: 999px;
background: #DC382D;
color: #FFFFFF;
font: 700 14px/1 Inter, sans-serif;
}
.data-card {
border: 1px solid #E2E8F0;
border-radius: 16px;
background: #FFFFFF;
padding: 20px;
}
.code-panel {
border-radius: 18px;
background: #111111;
color: #FFFFFF;
padding: 20px;
}
.input {
min-height: 44px;
border: 1px solid #E2E8F0;
border-radius: 12px;
padding: 0 14px;
}
5. Layout Principles
| Token | Value | Usage |
|---|---|---|
--space-2 | 8px | Metric spacing |
--space-4 | 16px | Core rhythm |
--space-5 | 24px | Card padding |
--space-8 | 48px | Major sections |
Lead with speed and operational proof. Use metrics, architecture blocks, and use-case cards.
6. Depth & Elevation
css.shadow-card { box-shadow: 0 8px 18px rgba(17, 17, 17, 0.07); }
.shadow-panel { box-shadow: 0 18px 42px rgba(17, 17, 17, 0.14); }
Use stronger contrast on dark panels and subtle elevation on white product cards.
7. Do's and Don'ts
Do communicate speed, reliability, and scale. Do use red with discipline. Do not turn every component red. Do not make database concepts overly abstract.
8. Responsive Behavior
| Breakpoint | Min Width | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile | 0px | Stack metrics and product cards |
| Tablet | 768px | Two-column technical/product sections |
| Desktop | 1200px | Full architecture and comparison layouts |
Code and architecture panels must scroll or wrap cleanly on mobile.
9. Agent Prompt Guide
Design like Redis: bold red data-platform identity, black technical panels, white modular product cards, speed metrics, caching/vector-search language, and a sharp infrastructure feel.
