Y2K design system
Create a y2k design system. This page gives you a ready-to-use color system, export code, and a live gradient preview — no design tools required.
Color palette
Y2K design system explained
The y2k design system pairs #FACC15 as its primary hue with #c8a311 as the accent. The palette is balanced for y2k 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 #FACC15 → #F97316 gradient applied to a phone screen, a primary button, and a wave pattern so you can see how the y2k look plays out in a real interface.
