Do
- •Use violet sparingly for maximum impact on key actions.

Lucide · 1.5px stroke · 1rem. Outline icons with a consistent stroke width; size icons to match adjacent text and align them optically.
- Never use color as the only signal — pair it with text, an icon, or a shape.
- Every interactive element must be keyboard reachable and show a visible focus ring.
- Honor prefers-reduced-motion: reduce by disabling non-essential animation.
- Keep a logical heading order and give every form control a label.

The design brief
Velvet is a premium violet design system for high-end SaaS, pro tiers, and AI products that want to feel expensive. A deep purple primary over rich neutrals reads as considered and upmarket.
Principles
- Violet is the signature — use it for primary actions and brand moments.
- Deep, slightly warm neutrals make the purple glow.
- Soft, generous radii and one elevated shadow create a premium surface.
When to use
Use Velvet for paid SaaS, AI copilots, and pro dashboards where perceived quality drives conversion. Avoid it for utilitarian internal tools.
