Shadow-DOM components carried fallback colors that never matched the actual tokens: panel-tab-strip fell back to teal #4ec9a8 for the coral --accent, resizable-divider to Bootstrap blue #007bff, and --border to a generic #333. Align all fallbacks with the claw-family values in styles/base.css so token-less rendering matches the product palette. Also document the intentionally dark image-lightbox chrome and the terminal theme's hand-mirrored token values, and regenerate the drifted values in ui/docs/design-system/color-tokens.md (--muted, --muted-strong, --primary, --danger, --info, light status colors) from base.css truth.
OpenClaw Design System
OpenClaw's visual language is a dark-first, glass-surface system built around a deep charcoal base (#0e1015), a punchy signature red accent (#ff5c5c), and layered frosted-glass surfaces that create depth without solid panels. Motion is crisp and purposeful — fast micro-interactions (100ms) with spring-loaded expansions. All interactive elements meet WCAG 2.1 AA contrast requirements on dark backgrounds.

Guiding Principles
- Glass, not solid — Surfaces use
backdrop-filterblur + semi-transparent backgrounds. No flat opaque panels in the main chrome. - Depth through layering — The background scale (
--bg,--bg-accent,--bg-elevated,--bg-hover,--bg-muted) communicates hierarchy without heavy borders. - Accent with restraint — Signature red (
--accent: #ff5c5c) for primary actions only; teal (--accent-2) for secondary/status. - Motion serves meaning — Animations telegraph state changes; they never play for decoration alone.
- Accessible by default — Every component ships with focus-visible styles, correct ARIA roles, and ≥4.5:1 contrast on text.
