# Design System — Cardinal Health

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

## Ground
- **Light ground** (#EFEFEF), from Cardinal Health's site background #EFEFEF. Pages and panels sit on it.
- Main text: #000000 (18.26:1 on the ground).
- Secondary text is #000000 at 88% / 76% / 60%; hairlines and plate borders #000000 at 16%.

## Color
- **Accent on the ground: #D9052C** (4.56:1), adjusted from Cardinal Health's primary #E41F35 so it stays readable. Use it for kickers, key numbers and one highlight per screen, not for large fills.
- **Primary #E41F35** for filled shapes (buttons, chips, bars), with #FFFFFF text on it (4.62:1).
- Quote every hex exactly as written above.

## Type
- Headlines: **Archivo**. Body: **Archivo**. Both on Google Fonts.
- Cardinal Health's site uses myriad-pro / myriad-pro; these are the closest free look-alikes.

## Shape
- Cards and panels: 2px corners. Buttons and chips: 2px.

## Voice
- Tone: professional. Energy: low. Written for patients and healthcare professionals.
- Headlines are short and concrete.
