## Overview

Oura is a smart ring with a companion app on iOS and Android that tracks sleep, activity and readiness. Its public store and pages are warm and editorial. The app itself needs a ring and an account. [Measured]

What defines the look:

1. **Parchment page.** `#f7f1e8` replaces white, with `#efe6db` for sections. [Measured]
2. **Stone ink.** `#4a4741` carries headlines and text. [Measured]
3. **Light, tight serif.** Editorial New 300 to 400 with tracking down to -4 at 80. [Measured]
4. **Full pills.** Navigation and buttons are fully round. [Measured]
5. **One blue action.** Shop Now is `#2a72de`, the main saturated color on the store. [Measured]

Source for this file: the ouraring.com home and ring store pages, measured in a browser at 1440 and 390 wide on 2026-11-01 with a dark color scheme pass. A third page tried returned a not found page and was left out of the values. No app captures were used. See Known Gaps.

## Cross-platform consistency

Consistent across platforms: the warm neutrals and rounded controls. [Measured for web, Inferred for the apps]

Intentionally different: not measured. [Inferred]

## Do's and Don'ts

### Do

- Use parchment instead of white.
- Set big headlines light and tight.
- Keep color for one action.
- Round controls fully.

### Don't

- Don't use pure black text.
- Don't set the display serif bold.
- Don't use several accent colors.

## Known Gaps

- The Oura app, including its readiness rings, charts and dark screens, was not measured. It needs a ring and an account, so the app's look may differ a lot from these pages.
- The iOS and Android apps were not captured, so every mobile topic is inferred.
- Icons, motion and dialogs were not measured.
- AkkuratLL is private. Albert Sans is within 1 percent at 40px. Editorial New is private and much narrower than any candidate. Crimson Pro is the closest but still 6 percent wider, so this is the weakest match in the file, and Crimson Pro at a tighter tracking is advised.
- Account deletion and store sign-in rules were not verified.
