# Oracle

> `oracle@1.0.0`

Oracle is the enterprise database and cloud-applications company — ERP, CRM, infrastructure, autonomous database. The brand voice is conservative corporate: deep "Oracle Ink" (#161513) text on a warm light "Oracle Stone" canvas, a deep graphite "Oracle Graphite" (#312D2A) primary CTA fill, and the historical "Oracle Red" (#C0533F) reserved for the mark and brand-feature accent surfaces. Typography on oracle.com is the proprietary "OracleSans" variable face paired with a Georgia serif fallback and a Consolas mono; the brand is light-first.

## Atoms

### Palette

**Oracle** · `oracle@1.0.0` · Proprietary — All Rights Reserved

> Oracle's brand palette, captured from the live oracle.com stylesheet where the design system exposes a named token set on :root (--txtcolor, --thm-base, --thm-accent, --obttn1bg, --linkcolor, --form-error, --form-focusonlgt). The brand reads as conservative corporate: a deep "Oracle Ink" near-black text (#161513), a warm light "Oracle Stone" canvas (#F1EFED), a deep graphite CTA button surface (#312D2A), the historical "Oracle Red" (#C0533F) sampled live as a feature-module accent, and a trust-blue link (#006B8F). The brand is light-first; the dark inversion uses Oracle Coal as a near-black product canvas.

## Rules

### 🛑 error (6)

#### `colorChoice` → `roles.colors.mark`

- **allowed:** oracle-red, oracle-red-deep, oracle-ink, oracle-canvas
- **forbidden:** oracle-graphite, oracle-mist, oracle-link, oracle-error

> The Oracle wordmark renders in Oracle Red on light surfaces, in Oracle Ink monochrome on light surfaces, or in Oracle Canvas (white) monochrome on dark surfaces. The graphite is the CTA button fill, not a mark color; oracle-error is form- validation red, not the brand mark red. 

#### `colorChoice` → `roles.colors.primary`

- **allowed:** oracle-graphite, oracle-graphite-hover, oracle-canvas
- **forbidden:** oracle-red, oracle-mist, oracle-link

> The primary CTA fill on oracle.com is the deep warm graphite (--obttn1bg = #312D2A), not the brand red. Oracle's conservative-corporate voice reserves the red for the mark and for editorial feature surfaces; using it as a button fill breaks the calm enterprise rhythm. 

#### `forbiddenTreatment` → `logo`

- **treatments:** stretched, rotated, recolored, drop-shadow, gradient-fill, on-busy-photo

> Oracle's wordmark is a calibrated red lockup with strict clearspace. Stretching, rotating, drop-shadowing, or gradient-filling the mark conflicts with the conservative- corporate voice that the live oracle.com surface establishes. 

#### `contrastRatio` → `text-primary`

- **against:** `background`
- **minRatio:** `7`
- **standard:** `WCAG-AAA`

> Oracle Ink (#161513) on Oracle Canvas (#FFFFFF) reads at ~19:1 — clearing WCAG AAA decisively. Oracle's enterprise documentation surface, with dense long-form product copy and regulatory-grade disclosures, justifies the AAA contrast target rather than the AA floor. 

#### `contextRestriction` → `roles.colors.accent`

- **forbiddenContexts:** body-text, button-fill-primary, background-canvas
- **allowedContexts:** mark, feature-accent, brand-emphasis

> Oracle Red is the mark and feature-accent color. The brand's conservative posture forbids using it as a body-text tone, a primary CTA fill (that role is reserved for oracle-graphite), or a wash canvas — those uses break the editorial rhythm of red-as-punctuation that the live brand surface establishes. 

#### `fontPairing` → `typography.display`

- **requires:** `prose`
- **minSizeRatio:** `1.5`

> OracleSans display headlines pair with the same family for body prose at a deliberate size step; a 1.5× minimum display-to-prose size ratio preserves the institutional hierarchy that oracle.com establishes between section headlines and long-form product copy. 

### ⚠️ warning (2)

#### `enumMembership` → `typography.heading.fontWeight`

- **allowed:** 300, 350, 400, 500, 600, 700

> The live oracle.com surface declares --base-weight: 350 and renders display headings at the 300–700 weight band on the proprietary OracleSans variable face. Heavier weights are not part of the published display set. 

#### `accessibilityRequirement` → `*`

- **standard:** `WCAG-AAA`
- **criterion:** `1.4.6`

> WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.4.6 (Contrast Enhanced) — Level AAA. Oracle's enterprise documentation surface, with dense regulatory and long-form product copy, justifies the enhanced 7:1 target rather than the AA 4.5:1 floor. 

### 💡 recommendation (1)

#### `compositionConstraint` → `roles.colors.accent`

- **pairsWith:** oracle-canvas, oracle-stone, oracle-ink
- **doesNotPairWith:** oracle-error, oracle-link, oracle-mist

> Oracle Red reads cleanest against the warm Oracle Stone canvas, the bright Oracle Canvas, or against deep Oracle Ink text. Adjacent to the form-error red, link blue, or mist teal, the brand red loses its editorial emphasis and reads as just another saturated swatch in a noisy palette.
