Key Decisions
- OKLCH color system for perceptual uniformity across the warm cream palette
- Forest green accent limited to 10% of screen area for visual restraint
- Plus Jakarta Sans (headings) + DM Sans (body) for typographic hierarchy
- 4pt spacing scale for consistent rhythm
- Sidebar navigation pattern for desktop with bottom tabs for mobile
- Three-step receipt scan flow (Upload, Process, Review) for guided experience
- Role-based access: Manager, Member, View Only, designed for SA household dynamics
- All prices in ZAR, SA stores (Woolworths, Checkers, Pick n Pay, Makro)
- POPIA-compliant data handling
Design Token System
The complete color palette uses OKLCH values for perceptual uniformity. All neutrals carry a slight warm chroma at hue 155 (forest green), keeping surfaces inviting rather than clinical.
