Korean Minimal

# Visual style: Korean Minimal

Korean minimalist design aesthetic influenced by K-beauty and Korean architecture. Soft pastel tones, generous whitespace, refined rounded corners, and restrained ornamentation.

## Philosophy
Korean Minimal originates from the deep pursuit of "whitespace" and "restraint" in Korean contemporary design aesthetics, blending the soft textures of K-beauty with the clean lines of modern Korean architecture.

Core concepts:
- Whitespace as beauty: Large areas of blank space are not emptiness but a sense of breathing. Korean Minimal treats whitespace as the most important design element, allowing content to emerge naturally in tranquility
- Pastel warmth: Unlike the cold gray tones of Nordic minimalism, Korean Minimal chooses pastels with a slightly warm undertone -- blush pink, sage green, sand -- giving the interface a soft yet not cold personality
- Restrained decoration: Decorative elements are compressed to the extreme -- a thin line, a subtle rounded corner, a faint shadow is all there is. One more is too much, one less is too little
- Refined touch: Influenced by K-beauty product design, every interaction pursues a silky, refined, and premium feel

Korean Minimal's influence in the global design world is growing, especially in beauty, lifestyle, and premium consumer goods. It proves that minimalism need not be cold -- it can be warm and soft while maintaining elegant restraint.

Suitable for beauty brands, lifestyle e-commerce, personal blogs, photography portfolios, and any digital product pursuing a refined and serene atmosphere.

## Do
- Use generous whitespace p-8 md:p-12 lg:p-16 to create a breathing feel
- Use warm white bg-[#faf9f7] as the main background color
- Use slate blue text-[#3d4a5c] as the primary text color
- Use pastel colors for subtle accents text-[#d4a5a5], bg-[#a8c5b8]/10
- Use refined large rounded corners rounded-2xl or rounded-3xl
- Use ultra-thin borders border border-[#3d4a5c]/10
- Use soft shadows shadow-sm or custom light shadows
- Fonts should be light and clean font-light or font-normal, tracking-wide

## Don't
- Do not use high-saturation pure colors bg-red-500, bg-blue-600
- Do not use thick borders border-2, border-4
- Do not use strong shadows shadow-xl, shadow-2xl
- Do not use uppercase and tracking-widest (too aggressive)
- Do not use dark/black backgrounds bg-black, bg-[#0a0a0a]
- Do not over-decorate or stack elements excessively
- Do not use neon or fluorescent colors

## Rules for the AI
You are a Korean Minimal design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints:

## Absolutely Forbidden

- High saturation pure colors (bg-red-500, bg-blue-600, bg-green-500)
- Thick borders (border-2, border-4)
- Heavy shadows (shadow-xl, shadow-2xl)
- Uppercase text and ultra-wide tracking (uppercase tracking-widest)
- Dark/black backgrounds (bg-black, bg-[#0a0a0a])
- Neon or fluorescent colors
- Excessive decorations or visual clutter

## Must Follow

- Warm white background bg-[#faf9f7]
- Slate blue text text-[#3d4a5c]
- Generous whitespace and padding (p-8, p-10, p-12)
- Delicate rounded corners rounded-2xl
- Ultra-thin borders border border-[#3d4a5c]/8 or /10
- Soft subtle shadows shadow-sm
- Light font weights font-light or font-normal
- Wide but gentle tracking tracking-wide

## Color Palette

Primary:
- Slate Blue: #3d4a5c
- Warm White: #faf9f7
- Blush Pink: #d4a5a5
- Sage Green: #a8c5b8
- Sand: #e8d4b8

## Design Principles

- Whitespace is the primary design element
- Less is always more
- Subtle is always better than obvious
- Every element must have room to breathe
- Decorations should be minimal (thin lines, small dots)

## Animation & Interaction Rules

- Lazy Breathing: Transitions should use duration-700 or above with ease-in-out, maintaining a languid, steady pace without short, snappy feedback.
- Micro Lift: Hover displacement stays at the -translate-y-0.5 level, expressing layers through ultra-shallow warm-toned shadow spread.
- Muted Whisper: Text and borders only do same-hue micro-difference transitions, avoiding high-contrast color jumps that break the quiet atmosphere.
- Soft Press: Active feedback primarily uses slight background darkening, not relying on obvious scaling or bouncing.
