```
```tsx
// Primary CTA button — production-ready
<button
style={{
backgroundColor: 'var(--netflix-accent)',
color: 'var(--netflix-text-white)',
borderRadius: 'var(--netflix-radius-md)',
padding: '12px 24px',
fontSize: '24px',
fontWeight: 500,
fontFamily: '"Netflix Sans", "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, sans-serif',
transition: `background-color var(--netflix-duration-base) var(--netflix-ease-in)`,
border: 'none',
cursor: 'pointer',
}}
onMouseOver={e => e.currentTarget.style.backgroundColor = 'var(--netflix-accent-warm)'}
onMouseOut={e => e.currentTarget.style.backgroundColor = 'var(--netflix-accent)'}
>
Get Started
</button>
```
**NEVER rules:**
- NEVER use `Inter`, `Roboto`, or `Arial` as the primary font — use `"Netflix Sans"` with its full fallback stack
- NEVER hardcode `#e50914` — use `var(--netflix-accent)`
- NEVER use `border-radius > 8px` on primary buttons — Netflix buttons use `4px` (`--netflix-radius-md`)
- NEVER omit hover and active states on buttons — surface color must change on hover (`rgb(193,17,25)`) and active (`rgb(153,22,29)`)
- NEVER use warm or light backgrounds — the entire UI is dark (`rgb(0,0,0)` to `rgb(45,45,45)` range)
- NEVER skip focus ring — all interactive elements must show `outline: 0.125rem solid rgb(255,255,255)` on `:focus-visible`

## 1. Design Direction & Philosophy
### Character & Mood
Netflix's design is **cinematic, authoritative, and immersive**. The visual language prioritises content (show artwork, thumbnails) above all else. The UI is a dark stage that recedes to let media take center focus. The red accent (`rgb(229,9,20)`) signals action and brand identity — it appears only on CTAs, never as decoration.
### Aesthetic Intent
- **Dark-first**: Every surface is dark. Background ranges from pure black to `rgba(22,22,22,0.7)`. There is no light mode.
- **High contrast**: White text (`rgb(255,255,255)`) on near-black backgrounds achieves maximum legibility for TV/monitor viewing distances.
- **Typographic scale is dramatic**: `h1` at `56px / 900` weight is deliberately billboard-scale. The jump from body (`20px`) to hero heading (`56px`) is intentional and must not be compressed.
- **Minimal chrome**: Borders are semi-transparent (`rgba(128,128,128,0.7)`), not solid. Shadows are used sparingly. The UI does not compete with content.
- **Sharp-ish geometry**: Buttons are `4px` radius — not pill, not square. Cards are `8px`. Accordions are `0px`. Each shape is deliberate.
### What This Design Explicitly Rejects
- **Light backgrounds**: NEVER use white or light-grey surfaces for content sections.
- **Decorative colour**: Red is reserved for primary actions only. It is NEVER used for text, dividers, or decorative elements.
- **Rounded pill buttons**: Despite having a `--netflix-radius-full: 50px` token (used on one `input` element), primary CTA buttons are `4px` radius.
- **Font substitution**: The proprietary `Netflix Sans` font is critical to brand identity. System font fallbacks exist but should never be used as a deliberate choice.
- **Generic spacing**: Netflix uses precise, non-standard spacing values (e.g. `0.375rem` for field gaps). Do not substitute an 8px grid system.

## 2. Colour System
### Tier 1 — Primitive Values
```css
/* Raw colour values — reference only, use semantic tokens in components */

--color-red-700: rgb(153, 22, 29); /* #99161d — pressed */
/* Dark scale */
--color-dark-900: rgb(0, 0, 0); /* Pure black — page background */
--color-dark-800: rgb(22, 22, 22); /* #161616 — form surfaces */

--color-grey-30: rgba(128, 128, 128, 0.4); /* Border disabled */
--color-grey-focus: #a9a9a9; /* Focus ring default (non-keyboard) */
/* Status */
--color-green-400: rgb(43, 184, 113); /* success */

### Radius Scale
```css
:root {

--netflix-radius-md: 4px; /* 4 elements — PRIMARY BUTTONS, form inputs */
--netflix-radius-lg: 8px; /* 11 elements — content cards, thumbnail containers */

--wct--local-design--Button-BorderRadius: 0.25rem; /* 4px */
--wct--local-design--Input-BorderRadius: 0.25rem; /* 4px */
--wct--local-design--Select-BorderRadius: 0.25rem; /* 4px */
--wct--local-design--Accordion-HeadlineBorderRadius: 0rem; /* 0px — sharp */
--wct--local-design--Accordion-PanelBorderRadius: 0rem; /* 0px — sharp */
}
```
### Grid & Breakpoints
```css
/* Responsive breakpoints (from media query extraction) */
/* Key tiers for layout decisions: */
:root {
--bp-mobile-sm: 400px; /* small phones */
--bp-mobile: 530px; /* standard mobile */
--bp-tablet-sm: 640px; /* small tablet */
--bp-tablet: 768px; /* standard tablet */
--bp-tablet-lg: 960px; /* large tablet / small desktop */
--bp-desktop: 1024px; /* desktop */
--bp-desktop-lg: 1280px; /* large desktop */
--bp-desktop-xl: 1600px; /* XL desktop */
--bp-hd: 1920px; /* HD / full screen */
--bp-4k: 2560px; /* 4K displays */
}
/* Layout container pattern (layout-container vars are intentionally `initial` — */
/* populated per-breakpoint by the component system) */
--wct--layout-container--width: inherit;
/* Column spacing, row spacing, padding, maxWidth: set via --wct--layout-container--{prop}-{breakpoint} */
```
### Button Layout (computed)
```css
/* Primary hero button */
.btn-primary-hero {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
padding: 12px 24px; /* extracted from button_primary computed style */
height: auto; /* not fixed — grows with content */
gap: normal;
}
/* Small / nav button */
.btn-small {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
padding: 4px 16px; /* extracted from link computed style */
}
```

## 5. Page Structure & Layout Patterns
> **Note:** No screenshots provided. All section ordering and layout details are inferred from the LAYOUT DIGEST, component inventory, computed styles, and CTA census. Rows marked **(inferred)** are not visually confirmed.
### 5.1 Section Map
| # | Section | Layout Type | Approx. Height | Key Elements |
|---|---------|-------------|----------------|--------------|
| 1 | **Navigation / Header** | Flex row, space-between | ~70px | Netflix logo (left), language dropdown (right), Sign In button — red CTA `rgb(229,9,20)` |
| 2 | **Hero / Landing Banner** | Flex column, centered | ~600px | Full-bleed background gradient, h1 (56px/900), body subtext (20px/500), email input + CTA row |
| 3 | **Trending Now / Content Row** (inferred) | Horizontal scroll flex | ~300–400px | h2 section heading, thumbnail tiles (radius-lg: 8px), Top 10 numerals (100px/900) |
| 4 | **Feature Highlights** (inferred) | Alternating 2-column | ~300px each | h2 left/right, media image opposite, body copy at 20px |
| 5 | **More Reasons to Join** (inferred) | 2–4 column grid | ~300px | h2 heading, feature cards with icon + text |
| 6 | **FAQ / Accordion** | Single column, full-width | ~400px+ | h2 "Frequently Asked Questions", accordion items (0px radius, 1px separator) |
| 7 | **Footer CTA** (inferred) | Flex column, centered | ~150px | Repeated email input + "Get Started" button, disclaimer text (13px) |
| 8 | **Footer** | Multi-column grid | ~400px (`--ot-footer-space: 160px` + links) | 4-column link grid, language selector dropdown, legal text (14px) |
### 5.2 Layout Patterns
**Hero section:**
- `display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; text-align: center`
- h1 has `margin-bottom: 16px`; body paragraph has `margin-bottom: 32px`
- Email input + button inline: `display: flex; flex-direction: row; gap: 8px`
- Button: `display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; padding: 12px 24px`
**Content tile rows (inferred from computed badge/thumbnail styles):**
- Horizontal scroll: `display: flex; flex-direction: row; overflow-x: auto`
- Tiles: `border-radius: 8px` (`--netflix-radius-lg`)
- Top 10 numerals: `font-size: 100px` overlapping left edge of tile
**FAQ Accordion:**
- Single column, full-width
- Headline: `background: rgb(45,45,45)`; hover: `rgb(65,65,65)`
- No border-radius on accordion items (`0rem`)
- `1px` gap between headline and panel: `--wct--local-design--Accordion-SpaceBetweenHeadlinePanel: 0.0625rem`
- `8px` gap between accordion items: `--wct--local-design--Accordion-SpaceBetween: 0.5rem`
- Internal padding: `24px` on all sides when expanded
**Footer:**
- Grid: 4 columns on desktop, stacks on mobile
- Footer top spacing: `160px` (`--ot-footer-space`)
- Link text: `14px / 500 / line-height: 21px`
### 5.3 Visual Hierarchy
- **Primary CTA** colour is **always** `rgb(229,9,20)` — confirmed by button census (3 "Get Started" buttons extracted)
- **Hero heading** (56px/900) is the dominant typographic element — nothing else approaches this scale on the landing page
- **Top 10 numerals** at 100px are a visual signature but appear on content rows, not the hero
- **Accordion** on FAQ section uses dark grey surfaces (`rgb(45,45,45)`) slightly lighter than page black — creates subtle separation
- CTA button appears at minimum twice: hero section + pre-footer repeat (confirmed by 3 button instances in computed styles)
- Images/thumbnails are right or left of text in alternating feature rows — Netflix's classic zig-zag pattern (inferred)
- Whitespace between sections is generous — `32px` body margin and `160px` footer space signal deliberate breathing room
### 5.4 Content Patterns
**Pattern A — Hero email-capture row:**
```
[h1: large headline centered]
[p: subtext centered, mb: 32px]
[input: email field] [button: Get Started — red]
```
**Pattern B — Feature zig-zag (inferred):**
```
[image/video — 50%] [text block — 50%] ← alternates left/right per row
h2: feature name (24px/500)
p: description (20px/500)
```
**Pattern C — Accordion FAQ:**
```
[h2: "Frequently Asked Questions" — 24px/500]
[Accordion item — dark grey bg]
[header: question — 24px/400, padding: 24px]
[panel: answer — 24px/400, padding: 24px]
[Accordion item]
...
```
**Pattern D — Content tile row:**
```
[h2: row title — 24px/500]
[scrollable row of tiles: border-radius: 8px]
Tile: thumbnail + optional Top 10 numeral (100px, overlapping)
```

## 6. Component Patterns
### 6.1 Primary Button
**Anatomy:** `<button>` → `[optional icon]` + `[label text]`
**Token-to-property mappings:**

| Hover | `rgb(193,17,25)` | `rgb(255,255,255)` | none | `0.25s cubic-bezier(0.32,0.94,0.6,1)` |
| Focus | `rgb(229,9,20)` | `rgb(255,255,255)` | outline: `2px solid rgb(255,255,255)`, offset `2px` | — |
| Active/Pressed | `rgb(153,22,29)` | `rgba(255,255,255,0.7)` | none | `0s` (instant) |
| Disabled | `rgba(229,9,20,0.4)` | `rgba(255,255,255,0.4)` | none | `0.25s` |

## 7. Elevation & Depth
```css
:root {
/* Shadows — extracted from computed styles */
--shadow-badge: rgb(128, 128, 128) 0px 0px 5px 0px;
/* Usage: badge/label overlays on content tiles */
--shadow-none: none;
/* Usage: buttons, inputs, accordion panels — no shadow on interactive form elements */
/* Focus ring (elevation via outline, not shadow) */
--focus-ring: 0.125rem solid rgb(255, 255, 255);
/* equivalent to: outline: var(--wct--focus-ring--width) var(--wct--focus-ring--style) var(--wct--focus-ring--color) */
--focus-ring-offset: 0.125rem;
/* Usage: ALL keyboard-focusable elements */
/* Z-index scale (inferred from page structure) */
--z-content: 0; /* default page content */
--z-badge: 1; /* top-10 numerals and tile overlays */
--z-dropdown: 10; /* language selector open state */
--z-nav: 100; /* sticky navigation bar */
--z-modal: 1000; /* dialogs and overlays */
--z-toast: 2000; /* notification toasts */
}
```
**Layering principles:**
- Netflix UI is primarily **flat** — depth is achieved through colour contrast (dark bg → darker surface), not drop shadows
- Shadows appear **only** on tile badges and overlaid labels
- **No box-shadow** on buttons, inputs, or accordion — these use background colour to signal state
- Focus rings use `outline` (not `box-shadow`) to ensure they are visible over any background

## 8. Motion
```css
:root {
/* Duration tokens */
--netflix-duration-fast: 0.2s; /* extracted: high confidence — button hover micro-interactions */
--netflix-duration-base: 0.25s; /* extracted: high confidence — standard UI transitions (buttons, accordion) */
--netflix-duration-slow: 0.4s; /* extracted: high confidence — larger layout transitions */
/* Easing tokens */
--netflix-ease-default: ease; /* extracted: high confidence — 78 elements */
--netflix-ease-in: cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.68, 0.06);
/* Usage: element leaving screen, button default state transition */
/* Corresponds to: --wct--local-design--Button-Easing, --wct--local-design--Accordion-HeadlineEasing */
--netflix-ease-out: cubic-bezier(0.32, 0.94, 0.6, 1);
/* Usage: element entering screen, hover state transition (fast in, satisfying deceleration) */
/* Corresponds to: --wct--local-design--Button-EasingHovered, --wct--local-design--Accordion-HeadlineIconEasing */
/* Component-specific motion */
--wct--local-design--Button-Duration: 250ms;
--wct--local-design--Button-DurationPressed: 0; /* INSTANT on press — intentional */
--wct--local-design--Button-Easing: cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.68, 0.06);
--wct--local-design--Button-EasingHovered: cubic-bezier(0.32, 0.94, 0.6, 1);
--wct--local-design--Button-EasingPressed: cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.68, 0.06);
--wct--local-design--Accordion-HeadlineDuration: 250ms;
--wct--local-design--Accordion-HeadlineEasing: cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.68, 0.06);
--wct--local-design--Accordion-HeadlineIconDuration: 250ms;
--wct--local-design--Accordion-HeadlineIconEasing: cubic-bezier(0.32, 0.94, 0.6, 1);
--wct--local-design--Accordion-HeadlineDurationHovered: var(--wct--local-design--Accordion-HeadlineDuration);
--wct--local-design--Accordion-HeadlineEasingHovered: cubic-bezier(0.32, 0.94, 0.6, 1);
--wct--local-design--Accordion-PanelDuration: 250ms;
--wct--local-design--Accordion-PanelEasing: cubic-bezier(0.32, 0.94, 0.6, 1);
/* Loading skeleton animation */
/* @keyframes loading: 0% rgb(35,35,35) → 70% rgb(65,65,65) → 90% rgb(35,35,35) */
/* Applied to: skeleton/placeholder content tiles while data loads */
}
```
**When to animate:**
- Button background on hover/focus: `0.25s` with `ease-out` (`cubic-bezier(0.32,0.94,0.6,1)`)
- Button background on press/active: **instant** (`0s` transition-duration) — feels physically snappy
- Accordion headline background: `250ms ease-in`
- Accordion icon rotation: `250ms ease-out`
- Accordion panel expand: `250ms ease-out`
- Loading skeleton shimmer: continuous loop — `0% → 70% → 90%` background colour pulse
**When NOT to animate:**
- Do NOT animate layout shifts or width/height changes unless panel expand/collapse
- Do NOT add entrance animations to static text content
- Do NOT animate colour changes on disabled states — `transition-duration` set to `var(--netflix-duration-base)` but visually irrelevant since no interaction occurs

## 9. Anti-Patterns & Constraints
1. **NEVER use a generic font stack without Netflix Sans first → Why it fails → What to do instead.**
AI agents default to `Inter`, `system-ui`, or `Arial` when no font is specified. Netflix's typographic identity depends entirely on the proprietary `Netflix Sans` variable font. Without it, headings lose weight range (100–900), and the distinctive kerning vanishes. **Do this instead:** Always declare `fontFamily: '"Netflix Sans", "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, sans-serif'` — the full stack with proper fallbacks.
2. **NEVER hardcode red hex values as `#e50914` or `#E50914` directly in component styles → Why it fails → What to do instead.**
Hardcoded values break when Netflix A/B tests button colours or adjusts brand colour globally. Additionally, hardcoded hex bypasses the three-state red system (default/hover/pressed). An AI agent seeing "red button" will pick one hex and stop there, missing the `rgb(193,17,25)` hover and `rgb(153,22,29)` pressed states. **Do this instead:** Use `var(--wct--local-design--Button-Surface)` for default, `var(--wct--local-design--Button-SurfaceHovered)` for hover, `var(--wct--local-design--Button-SurfacePressed)` for active.
3. **NEVER use `border-radius` values larger than `8px` on primary buttons → Why it fails → What to do instead.**
AI agents trained on generic design systems often produce pill buttons (`border-radius: 50px` or `9999px`) because they're visually common. Netflix buttons are strictly `4px` radius (`--wct--local-design--Button-BorderRadius: 0.25rem`). Pill-shaped buttons break the geometric language and look alien on the Netflix homepage. **Do this instead:** Use `var(--wct--local-design--Button-BorderRadius)` for every button. Reserve `--netflix-radius-full: 50px` for the one specific input field that uses it.
4. **NEVER omit the active/pressed state with `transition-duration: 0` → Why it fails → What to do instead.**
AI agents model hover and focus states but routinely skip the "pressed" (`:active`) state. Netflix's design system explicitly sets `--wct--local-design--Button-DurationPressed: 0` — the background colour change to `rgb(153,22,29)` is instantaneous. Omitting this makes buttons feel sluggish and wrong. **Do this instead:** Apply `onMouseDown` handler that sets `backgroundColor` to `var(--wct--local-design--Button-SurfacePressed)` and `transitionDuration` to `0s`.
5. **NEVER use a light or white background for any content section → Why it fails → What to do instead.**
AI agents filling in "blank" sections default to white or off-white backgrounds. Netflix is a pure dark-mode product — `rgb(0,0,0)` page background, `rgba(22,22,22,0.7)` form surfaces, `rgb(45,45,45)` accordion surfaces. Any light surface would destroy the cinematic immersive experience. **Do this instead:** Default every new section to `background-color: rgb(0,0,0)` unless a specific token (`--netflix-bg-surface`, `--netflix-accordion-surface`) is more appropriate.
6. **NEVER use `rgb(229,9,20)` for decorative elements, text colour, or dividers → Why it fails → What to do instead.**
Red in the Netflix system is exclusively reserved for primary call-to-action button backgrounds. AI agents, seeing the dominant brand colour, will apply it to borders, link text, hover underlines, or section dividers. This dilutes the CTA signal — red means "click this" and nothing else. **Do this instead:** Use `rgb(255,255,255)` for text, `rgba(128,128,128,0.7)` for borders, and `rgb(45,45,45)` for surface dividers.
7. **NEVER use arbitrary spacing values or substitute a standard 8px grid → Why it fails → What to do instead.**
Netflix uses precise, non-8px-aligned spacing values: `0.375rem` (6px) for field gaps, `0.625rem` (10px) for horizontal field padding, `0.0625rem` (1px) for the accordion separator. An AI agent normalising these to the nearest 8px multiple (`8px`, `8px`, `0px`) destroys the tight micro-spacing that makes form components feel refined. **Do this instead:** Always reference the exact extracted token. Never round to a "cleaner" value.
8. **NEVER remove or simplify the focus ring → Why it fails → What to do instead.**
AI agents often drop focus styles when they "look bad" or clash with the dark design. Netflix's focus ring is `2px solid rgb(255,255,255)` with `2px offset` — white on black, maximum visibility. The system uses `:focus-visible` to suppress it for mouse users and show it for keyboard users via `var(--wct--focus-ring--override-on/off)`. Removing this violates WCAG 2.4.11 and breaks keyboard navigation. **Do this instead:** Use `outline: var(--wct--focus-ring--width) var(--wct--focus-ring--style) var(--wct--focus-ring--color); outline-offset: var(--wct--focus-ring--offset)` on all interactive elements.
9. **NEVER construct dynamic Tailwind class names with string interpolation → Why it fails → What to do instead.**
Patterns like `` `bg-[${color}]` `` or `` `text-${size}` `` cause Tailwind's JIT scanner to miss the class, resulting in unstyled elements in production. **Do this instead:** For dynamic values, use inline CSS custom property references (`style={{ backgroundColor: 'var(--netflix-accent)' }}`) or use complete, static class names that can be statically analysed.
10. **NEVER use `!important` to override Netflix's component token cascade → Why it fails → What to do instead.**
The `--wct--local-design--*` token system uses CSS custom property inheritance for component-level overrides. Adding `!important` breaks the cascade in ways that are difficult to debug and will cause previously functional states (disabled, hover) to stop updating. **Do this instead:** Override tokens at the appropriate scope — set `--wct--local-design--Button-Surface: your-value` on the parent container to scope changes correctly.
11. **NEVER use `position: absolute` to achieve column layouts or section stacking → Why it fails → What to do instead.**
AI agents sometimes use absolute positioning for complex multi-column layouts. Netflix's layout system uses `display: flex` with `flexDirection: row/column` and responsive `--wct--layout-container` tokens. Absolute positioning breaks the responsive reflow at the numerous breakpoints (98px through 2560px). **Do this instead:** Use `display: flex` or `display: grid` with gap values from the spacing scale, and respond to breakpoints via media queries.

## Appendix B: Token Source Metadata
```
tokenSource: extracted-css-vars
site: netflix.com
extractionDate: [see extraction run metadata]
confidence: high
totalCSSCustomProperties: 262
curatedTokensMapped: 38
fontSource: extracted-font-declarations
- Netflix Sans Variable (woff2, 100–900 variable axis) — PRIMARY
- Netflix Sans (woff2/woff, 6 weights: 100/300/400/500/700/900) — fallback static
- Netflix Sans JA (Japanese ellipsis override)
- NKufi (Arabic, weights 400/500)
- GraphikTH (Thai, weights 400/500)
- Netflix Sans Debug (development only)
originalVariableConvention: --wct--local-design--{Component}-{Property}
Prefix: wct (Web Component Toolkit — Netflix's internal design system)
Components documented: Button, Input, Select, Accordion, Text
Additional: --wct--focus-ring--*, --wct--layout-container--*, --wct--layout-item--*
syntheticTokensCreated:
- --netflix-accent, --netflix-accent-warm, --netflix-accent-pressed (clustered from 3 red values)
- --netflix-bg-app (inferred from page dark background, not directly extracted)
- --netflix-bg-skeleton-base / shimmer (from @keyframes loading animation)
- --space-hero-heading-bottom / --space-body-bottom (from h1/body computed margin)
- --font-family-primary (from computed fontFamily on h1/h2/button)
All synthetic tokens annotated with confidence level inline.
nearDuplicateWarning:
11 pairs of near-identical colours detected.
Resolution: canonical value selected per role, duplicates merged.
Example: --wct--local-design--Select-Border and --wct--local-design--Input-Border
both equal rgba(128,128,128,0.7) → merged to --netflix-border
layoutContainerTokens:
--wct--layout-container--{columnSpacing|rowSpacing|maxWidth|padding|width}-{breakpoint}: initial
These are intentionally `initial` at the :root level — the component system
populates them per-breakpoint. Do not override these with fixed values.
breakpointCount: 23 distinct media query values detected (98px–2560px)
Key layout breakpoints: 768px (tablet), 1024px (desktop), 1280px (large desktop)
libraryDetected: Bootstrap (utility layer only — Netflix's primary styling is bespoke CSS-in-JS via Emotion)
tokenAuthority: reverse-engineered from live production site CSS
These are NOT Figma-authoritative tokens. They represent the production implementation.
Treat as high-fidelity but not design-source-of-truth.
