AI Implementation
Copy the Hard Prompt first, then use the spec when needed
Use the Hard Prompt by default to generate UI. Use the Design Spec to understand, modify, and review the style. Use the Creative Brief for early exploration.
Hard Prompt
Use this by default: copy it, append the concrete requirement, and let AI generate consistent production UI.
When to use
- When AI should generate UI directly
- When repeated outputs must stay consistent
- When style drift is the main risk
How to use
- Copy the full prompt
- Append the concrete requirement
- Review against forbidden rules and UI states

# Hard Prompt
## When To Use
Use this when you want AI to generate code with strict style consistency. It is the safest default for production UI.
## How To Use
- Copy the full prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or another coding assistant.
- Append the concrete product/page requirement after the prompt.
- After generation, check the forbidden rules and interaction states before accepting the output.
Strictly follow the style rules below and maintain consistency. No style drift allowed.
## Requirements
- Prioritize style consistency first, then creative extension.
- When conflicts arise, treat prohibitions as the highest priority.
- Self-check before output: verify colors, typography, spacing, and interactions still match this style.
## Style Rules
You are a Watercolor Art design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints:
## Absolutely Forbidden
- Sharp edges (rounded-none, rounded-sm)
- Hard offset shadows (shadow-[Npx_Npx_0px])
- Thick borders (border-2 or higher)
- Neon or highly saturated colors
- Monospace fonts (font-mono)
- Uppercase text (uppercase)
- Pure black backgrounds (bg-black)
## Must Follow
- Warm paper background bg-[#faf6f0]
- Rose pink as primary color #d4a0a0
- Serif fonts font-serif with generous tracking
- Soft organic corners rounded-2xl (buttons) / rounded-3xl (cards)
- Ultra-soft shadows using rgba with low opacity (0.08-0.18)
- Delicate borders with 15-25% opacity
- Radial gradient backgrounds for watercolor wash effects
- Generous whitespace throughout
## Color Palette
Primary:
- Rose Wash: #d4a0a0
- Warm Paper: #faf6f0
- Cerulean: #7bb8d4
- Sage Green: #8cc5a8
- Lavender Bloom: #c3a0d4
- Ochre Gold: #e8c87a
- Text: #5a3e3e
## Unique Elements
- Paper grain texture overlay (feTurbulence SVG filter)
- Radial gradient buttons simulating pigment pooling
- Watercolor wash section backgrounds (multiple radial-gradients)
- Botanical watercolor accent decorations (leaf/flower shapes)
- Organic blob-like border-radius values
## Animation & Interaction Rules
- Pigment Bloom: Abandon hard 3D translate on hover. The core interaction simulates "watercolor bleeding." Use a large, soft, same-palette colored shadow that spreads outward on hover, like pigment dissolving on wet paper. Never use hover:scale or hover:-translate-y.
- Damp Paper Effect: On card hover, shift background opacity or tint slightly, simulating paper absorbing moisture.
- Liquid Slowness: Watercolor flows slowly. Enforce long transitions: duration-500 or duration-700 with ease-in-out.
- Soft Press: On :active, do not use aggressive scale-down. Add a subtle inset shadow to simulate a brush pressing gently on damp paper surface.
## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)
If any of the following patterns appear, it is a style violation — rewrite without exception.
- sharp corners (rounded-none/rounded-sm)
- hard offset shadows (shadow-[Npx_Npx_0px])
- thick borders (border-2 or above)
- pure black backgrounds or highly saturated neon colors
- monospace fonts (font-mono)
- uppercase text (uppercase)
## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)
If any item fails, the style has drifted — fix before shipping.

FAQ
Watercolor Art — Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Watercolor Art design style?
- Authentic watercolor aesthetics with organic bleeding edges, pigment pooling effects, paper texture overlays, and botanical watercolor accents, creating a natural and organic visual experience reminiscent of hand-painted watercolors. Its core principle: Watercolor Art style pursues the natural, organic aesthetics of real watercolor painting, emphasizing the flow, seepage, and pooling of pigment on wet paper.
- What colors does Watercolor Art use?
- Watercolor Art uses #d4a0a0 as its primary color and #faf6f0 as its secondary color, with accent colors #7bb8d4, #8cc5a8, #c3a0d4, #e8c87a. Every hex value can be copied from the palette on this page.
- How do I apply Watercolor Art correctly?
- Key practices: Use ultra-soft shadows and extremely low opacity (0.08-0.18) borders. Use paper texture overlay on backgrounds (feTurbulence grain overlay). Use radial-gradient on buttons to simulate pigment pooling from center to edges.
- What are common mistakes with Watercolor Art?
- Avoid: No sharp corners (rounded-none/rounded-sm). No hard offset shadows (shadow-[Npx_Npx_0px]). No thick borders (border-2 or above).
- How do I prompt AI to generate Watercolor Art UI?
- Copy the ready-made AI prompt on this page — it bundles the design tokens and component rules — and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or v0. Effective prompts include the keywords: watercolor art, watercolor painting, paint bleed, pigment pooling.
