Overview
Rainbow's interface is fun on the surface and disciplined underneath. The tone is friendly and colorful, with a rounded typeface, big pill buttons and bright accent colors. The structure is a real design system: every hue comes as a ten-step ramp from 10 (lightest) to 100 (darkest), grays come as translucent steps, and text and spacing sit on fixed tables. [Measured]
Three decisions define the look:
- Ten-step color ramps. Blue, green, purple, pink, red, orange and yellow each run from a pale 10 to a deep 100. For example blue is
#edf9ff,#d1edff,#a3d7ff,#6bbfff,#3898ff,#0e76fd,#1761e0,#0b4ab8,#053085,#001e59. Apps pick a step instead of inventing a color. [Measured] - A rounded typeface everywhere. SF Pro Rounded is bundled in the Android app and used on the web as "SF Rounded Web", which gives a soft, toy-like voice even in a financial product. [Measured]
- Corners differ by platform on purpose. The shape helper applies corner smoothing of
0.6on iOS for an iPhone-style continuous curve and0on Android to match Material, so the same shape looks native on each. [Measured]

Neutrals: a gray ramp that goes from #f7f7f7 through translucent steps of rgba(9,17,31,0.05) up to rgba(27,29,31,0.88) and #000, a white ramp for dark mode from #1b1c1e through translucent blue-tinted whites to #ffffff, and a blue-gray ramp from #f5f5f7 to #242529. Older tokens still in use include dark surfaces #1e2028 and #12131a, swap purple #575cff, a sky blue #e0e8ff and the Apple blue #0e76fd. [Measured]
The marketing site uses black #000, white, #111111, gray #9f9f9f and bright accents (#b65bf8, #fe5e42, #f7ff12, #0ed9f6, #ff9900, #33d878). [Measured]
Typography
SF Pro Rounded in Black, Heavy, Bold and Medium weights, on all platforms. [Measured] The type table pairs a size and a line height with a margin correction so text sits visually centered. Heading sizes run 18, 20, 23, 26, 28, 30, 34 and 44 with line heights 21, 22, 27, 30, 33, 34, 41 and 53. Text sizes run 10 to 23 pt, for example 11 over 13, 12 over 14, 14 over 19, 16 over 22. [Measured] The website uses 16, 20, 24, 26, 30, 36 and 42px. [Measured]
Shape and spacing
A shape helper builds rounded rectangles with corner smoothing: 0.6 on iOS and 0 on Android by default. Exact radius and spacing tables were not read. Pill and large-radius shapes are typical in the app. [Measured for smoothing, Inferred for the rest]
Iconography and motion
Emoji-like, colorful token icons and rounded glyphs. The app uses animated text components and a shared Skia-based shadow layout. [Measured for the animated text and shadow helper]

Cross-platform consistency
The same ramps, the same rounded typeface and the same friendly tone hold across the apps and site. Shapes adapt per platform through corner smoothing. The website uses a more saturated, black-and-neon palette than the app. [Measured]
Do's and Don'ts
Do
- Choose colors by hue and step (for example
blue60) and never invent a new shade. - Use SF Pro Rounded at heavy weights for headings.
- Apply iOS corner smoothing on iPhone and plain rounded rectangles on Android.
- Use large pill buttons for main actions.
- Pair every size with its table line height and margin correction.
Don't
- Don't use gray text from the deprecated token list for new work.
- Don't use the neon website palette inside the app.
- Don't mix smoothed and unsmoothed corners on one platform.
Known Gaps
- No on-device capture was done. All app statements come from reading source, so layouts and behavior are not confirmed.
- The semantic color mapping (which ramp step is used for which role in light and dark mode) was not read.
- Radius and spacing tables were not extracted.
- Navigation structure is inferred from product knowledge.
- Dynamic Type and font scale support were not verified.
- Account deletion and store policy rules were not verified.
- Contrast: white text on the lighter blue button (
#0e76fd) measures about 4.2 to 1, below the 4.5 to 1 target for normal text.
