Color palette
Brutalist design system explained
The brutalist design system pairs #bc9910 as its primary hue with #967a0d as the accent. The palette is balanced for brutalist aesthetics while keeping text readable against the surface color.
Every swatch is derived from the same two anchor colors, so the design system stays harmonious across backgrounds, borders, buttons, and hover states. Copy the CSS below or open it in your favorite tool and apply it immediately.
Use the preview image as a starting point for your own mockups. It shows the exact #bc9910 → #bb5611 gradient applied to a phone screen, a primary button, and a wave pattern so you can see how the brutalist look plays out in a real interface.
