+# Design System: NVIDIA
+
+## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
+
+NVIDIA's website is a high-contrast, technology-forward experience that communicates raw computational power through design restraint. The page is built on a stark black (`#000000`) and white (`#ffffff`) foundation, punctuated by NVIDIA's signature green (`#76b900`) -- a color so specific it functions as a brand fingerprint. This is not the lush green of nature; it's the electric, lime-shifted green of GPU-rendered light, a color that sits between chartreuse and kelly green and immediately signals "NVIDIA" to anyone in technology.
+
+The custom NVIDIA-EMEA font family (with Arial and Helvetica fallbacks) creates a clean, industrial typographic voice. Headings at 36px bold with tight 1.25 line-height create dense, authoritative blocks of text. The font lacks the geometric playfulness of Silicon Valley sans-serifs -- it's European, pragmatic, and engineering-focused. Body text runs at 15-16px, comfortable for reading but not generous, maintaining the sense that screen real estate is optimized like GPU memory.
+
+What distinguishes NVIDIA's design from other dark-background tech sites is the disciplined use of the green accent. The `#76b900` appears in borders (`2px solid #76b900`), link underlines (`underline 2px rgb(118, 185, 0)`), and CTAs -- but never as backgrounds or large surface areas on the main content. The green is a signal, not a surface. Combined with a deep shadow system (`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) 0px 0px 5px`) and minimal border radius (1-2px), the overall effect is of precision engineering hardware rendered in pixels.
+
+**Key Characteristics:**
+- NVIDIA Green (`#76b900`) as pure accent -- borders, underlines, and interactive highlights only
+- Black (`#000000`) dominant background with white (`#ffffff`) text on dark sections
+- NVIDIA-EMEA custom font with Arial/Helvetica fallback -- industrial, European, clean
+- Tight line-heights (1.25 for headings) creating dense, authoritative text blocks
+- Minimal border radius (1-2px) -- sharp, engineered corners throughout
+- Green-bordered buttons (`2px solid #76b900`) as primary interactive pattern
+- Font Awesome 6 Pro/Sharp icon system at weight 900 for sharp iconography
+- Multi-framework architecture (PrimeReact, Fluent UI, Element Plus) enabling rich interactive components

+
+### Principles
+- **Bold as the default voice**: NVIDIA leans heavily on weight 700 for headings, buttons, links, and labels. The 400 weight is reserved for body text and descriptions -- everything else is bold, projecting confidence and authority.
+- **Tight headings, relaxed body**: Heading line-height is consistently 1.25 (tight), while body text relaxes to 1.50-1.67. This contrast creates visual density at the top of content blocks and comfortable readability in paragraphs.
+- **Uppercase for navigation**: Link labels use `text-transform: uppercase` with weight 700, creating a navigation voice that reads like hardware specification labels.
+- **No decorative tracking**: Letter-spacing is normal throughout, except for compact buttons (0.144px). The font itself carries the industrial character without manipulation.
+
+## 4. Component Stylings
+
+### Buttons

+- Links: NVIDIA-EMEA 14px weight 700 uppercase, `#ffffff`
+- Hover: color shift, no underline change
+- Mega-menu dropdowns for product categories
+- Sticky on scroll with backdrop
+
+### Image Treatment
+- Product/GPU renders as hero images, often full-width
+- Screenshot images with subtle shadow for depth
+- Green gradient overlays on dark hero sections
+- Circular avatar containers with 50% radius
+
+### Distinctive Components
+
+**Product Cards**
+- Clean white or dark card with minimal radius (2px)
+- Green accent border or underline on title
+- Bold heading + lighter description pattern
+- CTA with green border at bottom
+
+**Tech Spec Tables**
+- Industrial grid layouts
+- Alternating row backgrounds (subtle gray shift)
+- Bold labels, regular values
+- Green highlights for key metrics
+
+**Cookie/Consent Banner**
+- Fixed bottom positioning
+- Rounded buttons (2px radius)
+- Gray border treatments
+
+## 5. Layout Principles
+
+### Spacing System
+- Base unit: 8px
+- Scale: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 9px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 13px, 15px
+- Primary padding values: 8px, 11px, 13px, 16px, 24px, 32px
+- Section spacing: 48-80px vertical padding
+
+### Grid & Container
+- Max content width: approximately 1200px (contained)
+- Full-width hero sections with contained text
+- Feature sections: 2-3 column grids for product cards
+- Single-column for article/blog content
+- Sidebar layouts for documentation
+
+### Whitespace Philosophy
+- **Purposeful density**: NVIDIA uses tighter spacing than typical SaaS sites, reflecting the density of technical content. White space exists to separate concepts, not to create luxury emptiness.
+- **Section rhythm**: Dark sections alternate with white sections, using background color (not just spacing) to separate content blocks.
+- **Card density**: Product cards sit close together with 16-20px gaps, creating a catalog feel rather than a gallery feel.
+
+### Border Radius Scale
+- Micro (1px): Inline spans, tiny elements
+- Standard (2px): Buttons, cards, containers, inputs -- the default for nearly everything
+- Circle (50%): Avatar images, circular tab indicators
+
+## 6. Depth & Elevation
+
+| Level | Treatment | Use |
+|-------|-----------|-----|
+| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow | Page backgrounds, inline text |
+| Subtle (Level 1) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.3) 0px 0px 5px 0px` | Standard cards, modals |
+| Border (Level 1b) | `1px solid #5e5e5e` | Content dividers, section borders |
+| Green accent (Level 2) | `2px solid #76b900` | Active elements, CTAs, selected items |
+| Focus (Accessibility) | `2px solid #000000` outline | Keyboard focus ring |
+
+**Shadow Philosophy**: NVIDIA's depth system is minimal and utilitarian. There is essentially one shadow value -- a 5px ambient blur at 30% opacity -- used sparingly for cards and modals. The primary depth signal is not shadow but _color contrast_: black backgrounds next to white sections, green borders on black surfaces. This creates hardware-like visual layering where depth comes from material difference, not simulated light.
+
+### Decorative Depth
+- Green gradient washes behind hero content
+- Dark-to-darker gradients (black to near-black) for section transitions
+- No glassmorphism or blur effects -- clarity over atmosphere
+
+## 7. Responsive Behavior
+
+### Breakpoints
+| Name | Width | Key Changes |
+|------|-------|-------------|
+| Mobile Small | <375px | Compact single column, reduced padding |
+| Mobile | 375-425px | Standard mobile layout |
+| Mobile Large | 425-600px | Wider mobile, some 2-col hints |
+| Tablet Small | 600-768px | 2-column grids begin |
+| Tablet | 768-1024px | Full card grids, expanded nav |
+| Desktop | 1024-1350px | Standard desktop layout |
+| Large Desktop | >1350px | Maximum content width, generous margins |
+
+### Touch Targets
+- Buttons use 11px 13px padding for comfortable tap targets
+- Navigation links at 14px uppercase with adequate spacing
+- Green-bordered buttons provide high-contrast touch targets on dark backgrounds
+- Mobile: hamburger menu collapse with full-screen overlay
+
+### Collapsing Strategy
+- Hero: 36px heading scales down proportionally
+- Navigation: full horizontal nav collapses to hamburger menu at ~1024px
+- Product cards: 3-column to 2-column to single column stacked
+- Footer: multi-column grid collapses to single stacked column
+- Section spacing: 64-80px reduces to 32-48px on mobile
+- Images: maintain aspect ratio, scale to container width
+
+### Image Behavior
+- GPU/product renders maintain high resolution at all sizes
+- Hero images scale proportionally with viewport
+- Card images use consistent aspect ratios
+- Full-bleed dark sections maintain edge-to-edge treatment
+
+## 8. Responsive Behavior (Extended)
+
+### Typography Scaling
+- Display 36px scales to ~24px on mobile
+- Section headings 24px scale to ~20px on mobile
+- Body text maintains 15-16px across all breakpoints
+- Button text maintains 16px for consistent tap targets
+
+### Dark/Light Section Strategy
+- Dark sections (black bg, white text) alternate with light sections (white bg, black text)
+- The green accent remains consistent across both surface types
+- On dark: links are white, underlines are green
+- On light: links are black, underlines are green
+- This alternation creates natural scroll rhythm and content grouping
+
+## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
+
+### Quick Color Reference
+- Primary accent: NVIDIA Green (`#76b900`)
+- Background dark: True Black (`#000000`)
+- Background light: Pure White (`#ffffff`)
+- Heading text (dark bg): White (`#ffffff`)
+- Heading text (light bg): Black (`#000000`)
+- Body text (light bg): Black (`#000000`) or Near Black (`#1a1a1a`)
+- Body text (dark bg): White (`#ffffff`) or Gray 300 (`#a7a7a7`)
+- Link hover: Blue (`#3860be`)
+- Border accent: `2px solid #76b900`
+- Button hover: Teal (`#1eaedb`)
+
+### Example Component Prompts
+- "Create a hero section on black background. Headline at 36px NVIDIA-EMEA weight 700, line-height 1.25, color #ffffff. Subtitle at 18px weight 400, line-height 1.67, color #a7a7a7. CTA button with transparent background, 2px solid #76b900 border, 2px radius, 11px 13px padding, text #ffffff. Hover: background #1eaedb, text white."
+- "Design a product card: white background, 2px border-radius, box-shadow rgba(0,0,0,0.3) 0px 0px 5px. Title at 20px NVIDIA-EMEA weight 700, line-height 1.25, color #000000. Body at 15px weight 400, line-height 1.67, color #757575. Green underline accent on title: border-bottom 2px solid #76b900."
+- "Build a navigation bar: #000000 background, sticky top. NVIDIA logo left-aligned. Links at 14px NVIDIA-EMEA weight 700 uppercase, color #ffffff. Hover: color #3860be. Green-bordered CTA button right-aligned."
+- "Create a dark feature section: #000000 background. Section label at 14px weight 700 uppercase, color #76b900. Heading at 24px weight 700, color #ffffff. Description at 16px weight 400, color #a7a7a7. Three product cards in a row with 20px gap."
+- "Design a footer: #000000 background. Multi-column layout with link groups. Links at 14px weight 400, color #a7a7a7. Hover: color #76b900. Bottom bar with legal text at 12px, color #757575."
+
+### Iteration Guide
+1. Always use `#76b900` as accent, never as a background fill -- it's a signal color for borders, underlines, and highlights
+2. Buttons are transparent with green borders by default -- filled backgrounds appear only on hover/active states
+3. Weight 700 is the dominant voice for all interactive and heading elements; 400 is only for body paragraphs
+4. Border radius is 2px for everything -- this sharp, minimal rounding is core to the industrial aesthetic
+5. Dark sections use white text; light sections use black text -- green accent works identically on both
+6. Link hover is always `#3860be` (blue) regardless of the link's default color
+7. Line-height 1.25 for headings, 1.50-1.67 for body text -- maintain this contrast for visual hierarchy
+8. Navigation uses uppercase 14px bold -- this hardware-label typography is part of the brand voice
