Cord uses a maritime-monochrome language: an almost white canvas flooded with generous air, a near-black midnight navy (#0b3658) carrying every word of weight, and a single bright harbor-blue accent (#4e9ad9) reserved for the logo, the primary button, and active states. The type system rides one family (Figtree) from weight 400 body up to weight 800 display, producing headlines that feel stamped rather than set. Surfaces are soft and rounded — cards float on tinted-blue shadows rather than hard borders, with corner radii between 20px and 32px that make the product feel approachable despite the serious navy palette. Rhythm is calm and centered: one dominant headline, one subtitle, one search field, no chrome — the UI reads like a job board stripped to its essentials and then lightly polished. The only chromatic deviation outside the navy/blue axis is a green presence indicator (#42b3b1) and a single dark CTA banner that flips to the navy ground color, creating the page's one moment of contrast.
