Stripe

Stripe is a financial-infrastructure platform for the internet — payments, billing, treasury, identity, and capital APIs used by millions of businesses worldwide. The brand voice is engineer- facing, plain-spoken, and unusually polished for the fintech category. Visually, Stripe is anchored on a single signature Stripe Purple (#635BFF) against deep-navy Slate text, near-white Fog canvases, and the brand's characteristic light-source gradient surfaces. Typography is Söhne (Klim Type Foundry), used across stripe.com and Stripe Press as the proprietary brand face.

Palette

Stripe · [email protected] · Proprietary — All Rights Reserved

Stripe's brand palette as observed on the live marketing site (stripe.com) and the Stripe Press / newsroom surfaces. Anchored on the signature Stripe Purple (#635BFF) against a deep-navy "Slate" text color and a near-white page canvas with subtle fog-blue tints. The palette is light-first; dark surfaces are used sparingly for headers and high-contrast modules. Functional accents (success-green, orange, magenta, pink) appear in Stripe's gradient surfaces and product illustrations and are preserved here as a documented secondary scale.

Rules

🛑 error (5)

contrastRatiotext-primary

  • against: background
  • minRatio: 4.5
  • standard: WCAG-AA

Stripe Slate 90 (#0A2540) on Fog 0 (#F6F9FC) is ~14:1; well above AA. White on Slate 100 (#061B31) is ~15:1. Both directions clear AA with substantial margin.

colorChoiceroles.colors.primary

  • allowed: stripe-purple, stripe-purple-pressed
  • forbidden: stripe-purple-soft, stripe-magenta, stripe-pink

Stripe Purple (#635BFF) is the signature brand color and the only token that may carry "primary action" semantics. stripe-purple-soft is a tinted-background variant; magenta and pink appear in illustration gradients only and must not be used as primary buttons or links.

forbiddenTreatmentlogo

  • treatments: stretched, rotated, recolored, drop-shadow, outlined, on-busy-photo

Stripe's Marks Usage Agreement forbids modifying or altering the Stripe word mark "in any way" and prohibits use that implies endorsement. Apply the official monochrome variants on appropriate light/dark surfaces; do not derive new treatments.

contextRestrictionroles.colors.accent

  • forbiddenContexts: error-state, destructive-action

Stripe Purple is the brand identity color, not an alert color. Destructive states use stripe-red; warnings use stripe-orange. Reusing the brand purple for destruction breaks the established semantic mapping.

contrastRatioroles.colors.primary

  • against: background
  • minRatio: 4.5
  • standard: WCAG-AA

Stripe Purple (#635BFF) on Fog 0 reaches ~4.6:1 — at the AA threshold for normal text. Buttons using the purple as a fill with white text exceed 6:1; this rule guards link usage so the brand interactive color stays AA-compliant against the canvas.

⚠️ warning (1)

enumMembershiptypography.heading.fontWeight

  • allowed: 400, 500, 600

Stripe's marketing surfaces use Söhne Book / Regular (400), Medium (500), and Semibold (600). Heavier weights appear in brand wordmarks only, not in body or display headings.

💡 recommendation (1)

compositionConstraintroles.colors.primary

  • pairsWith: stripe-white, stripe-fog-0, stripe-slate-100
  • doesNotPairWith: stripe-magenta, stripe-pink

The brand pairs purple with neutrals (white, fog, slate). Magenta and pink are reserved for illustration / gradient surfaces and clash with the purple in adjacent UI placements.

Components — same template, themed by Stripe

Every block below renders from the resolved palette + font references on this brand. Swap the brand and the same template re-themes — no per-brand component code required.

Stripe

A clear hierarchy in Stripe's typeface

Tertiary heading — supporting structure

Body copy renders in the brand's prose font on the brand's background. Inline links and highlighted phrases pick up the brand's primary and highlight roles. Code spans like brand.references.palette fall back to the monospace face.

A blockquote uses the brand's accent color as its rule. Useful for pulling tagline copy out of running prose.
Bulleted list
  • Bullet markers inherit the brand's primary color.
  • Item spacing reads as a deliberate vertical rhythm.
  • Nested items still resolve to the same primary.
    • Second-level item using the accent.
    • Third bullet wraps cleanly at narrow widths.
Numbered list
  1. Open the brand's resolved spec.
  2. Apply roles to the component template.
  3. Render the surface in the brand's identity.
  4. Audit the output against the typed rules.

Warning

Calls out something that needs attention but isn't an error — palette role warning.

Error

Surfaces a failure that blocks progress — palette role error. Use sparingly.
