Figma
Stark black and white, with color left to the work on show.

Figma's page is black on white with almost nothing in between: a 56px headline at regular weight, black filled buttons, and a white secondary outlined by a faint inset ring. Body copy runs light, at weight 320. Color lives in the product imagery and the occasional event banner, never in the interface, and corners stay at 8px.
- Use black for every primary action.
- Set headlines at regular weight and body copy light.
- Let imagery bring all of the color.
- Tint buttons with a brand hue.
- Bold the headline.
- Crowd the hero: a headline, an image, and a button are enough.
