# Design System — Mimecast

> Read from Mimecast's public website (mimecast.com) by Clinical Terminal. Not reviewed by Mimecast.
> Use it as inspiration: borrow the ideas, not Mimecast's name, logo or identity.

## Ground
- **Light ground** (#F9F9FA), from Mimecast's site background #F9F9FA. Pages and panels sit on it.
- Main text: #000129 (19.26:1 on the ground).
- Secondary text is #000129 at 88% / 76% / 60%; hairlines and plate borders #000129 at 16%.

## Color
- **Accent on the ground: #D72F3B** (4.58:1), adjusted from Mimecast's primary #DB333E so it stays readable. Use it for kickers, key numbers and one highlight per screen, not for large fills.
- **Primary #DB333E** for filled shapes (buttons, chips, bars), with #FFFFFF text on it (4.61:1).
- Secondary accent #FF0000: charts and a second data series only.
- Quote every hex exactly as written above.

## Type
- Headlines: **Archivo**. Body: **Open Sans**. Both on Google Fonts.
- Mimecast's site uses Neo-Sans / Open Sans; these are the closest free look-alikes.

## Shape
- Cards and panels: 16px corners. Buttons and chips: 30px.

## Voice
- Tone: professional. Energy: high. Written for enterprises.
- Headlines are short and concrete.
