The dev.void color system is built around two conceptual layers: a deep space background scale that anchors every surface in near-total darkness, and a four-color aurora accent palette that provides all interactive highlights, glow effects, and gradient endpoints. Every color in the site traces back to one of these two groups. The compiled source of truth for all color values at runtime isDocumentation Index

assets/main.css — this is the only color file present in the built output, and all live utility classes are consumed directly from it.
The source of truth for all color values at runtime is
assets/main.css. No tailwind.config.js is present in the built repo output — all utility classes, color tokens, and opacity variants are already compiled into the CSS file.Aurora Accent Colors
The four aurora accents are inspired by the shifting greens, teals, and pinks of a real aurora borealis. Each color has a clearly defined semantic role across the site.aurora-teal — #0d9488
The primary accent. Used for active borders,
focus ring styles, scrollbar thumb, the .glass-panel border, and all primary interactive highlights. If you change one color to rebrand the site, this is the one.aurora-mint — #34d399
The secondary green. Used for ping blips on the radar, success state indicators, active timeline dates, and
group-hover text transitions (group-hover:text-aurora-mint).aurora-pink — #ec4899
The highlight pink. Used for hover gradient endpoints, incident/alert badges, and role labels on testimonial cards (e.g.,
text-aurora-pink uppercase tracking-widest).aurora-light — #ccfbf1
The near-white teal. Used for main text accents, selected text color (
::selection), cursor dot fill, and hover text states (hover:text-aurora-light).How Accents Are Applied Across the Site
| Role | Color Token | Example Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Primary borders | aurora-teal/20 – aurora-teal/50 | Cards, input focus rings, .glass-panel |
| Active / hover text | aurora-light | Nav links, card headings on hover |
| Success pings | aurora-mint | Radar blips, online indicators |
| Alert / highlight badges | aurora-pink | Incident labels, role tags |
| Scrollbar thumb | aurora-teal/30 | ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb |
| Selected text background | aurora-teal/30 | ::selection |
| Selected text color | aurora-light | ::selection |
| Glow shadows | rgba(13,148,136,…) | .box-glow, shadow utilities |
Space Background Scale
The background scale simulates the progressive darkness of deep space. Darker values sit behind everything; slightly lighter values surface on cards and dividers.| Token | Hex | RGB | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
space-950 | #010308 | rgb(1 3 8) | body background — the deepest dark |
space-900 | #030712 | rgb(3 7 18) | Primary card backgrounds, scrollbar track |
space-800 | #080f1e | rgb(8 15 30) | Secondary card backgrounds, icon button wells |
space-700 | #111827 | rgb(17 24 39) | Borders and dividers (equivalent to Tailwind gray-900) |
Aurora Gradient
Thebg-aurora-gradient utility is applied to the background layers of AuroraHero. It sweeps across all four accent colors at low opacity so that the underlying starfield stays visible.
Custom CSS Utilities
These four utilities are defined as Tailwind plugins/components and compiled as static class names inmain.css. Apply them with a single class name rather than rebuilding individual property combinations.
.glass-panel
.glass-panel
Creates the frosted-glass card surface used throughout the site — nav bar, project cards, contact forms, and any floating panel.When to use it: Any container that floats over the starfield or a gradient layer. The semi-transparent background lets the background show through while the
backdrop-blur keeps the content legible. Avoid stacking multiple .glass-panel elements directly on top of each other — double-blurring kills performance..text-glow
.text-glow
Adds a soft cyan halo around text. Used on primary headings and the nav logo on hover.Also available as a
group-hover variant: group-hover:text-glow..box-glow (hover)
.box-glow (hover)
Applies a subtle teal outer glow on card hover via the
hover:box-glow variant..aurora-filter
.aurora-filter
Pipes the element through the inline SVG displacement filter
url(#aurora-turbulence) defined in the AuroraHero DOM. This creates the organic, flowing warp effect on the aurora background layers.Text Selection Colors
Selected text across the whole site uses the aurora palette for a consistent branded feel:selection: variant classes selection:bg-aurora-teal/30 and selection:text-aurora-light on the root <body> wrapper.
How to Change the Primary Accent Color
Because the Tailwind config (tailwind.config.js) is not included in the built output, you have two paths for recoloring the site.
Identify all teal references in main.css
The hex value
#0d9488 (aurora-teal) and its alpha variants (#0d948833, #0d94884d, #0d948866, #0d948880) appear throughout the compiled CSS. Use a global find-and-replace in your editor.Replace with your chosen color
Choose a new hex value (e.g.,
#7c3aed for a violet accent). Replace each opacity variant by computing the same alpha percentage against your new base color, or use a tool like uicolors.app to generate matching alpha stops.(Preferred) Rebuild from source
For a durable change, edit This regenerates
tailwind.config.js in the source repository, update the aurora-teal value under theme.extend.colors, then run the build:main.css with all utility classes correctly recalculated, including opacity variants and gradient stops.Full Color Reference
