# Analytics Dashboard DESIGN.md
## Product feel
Build a light, chart-forward analytics dashboard for teams reading trends and drilling into metrics.
Use a clean white canvas, near-black ink, and a restrained indigo/purple data palette so charts read
instantly. The interface should feel precise and quiet — the data carries the color, not the chrome.
