# 09 · Shadows — Pet Air Valet Brand Guide

> © 2026 Pet Air Valet. All rights reserved. **Strictly confidential — internal use only.**

A narrow system. Soft for cards, elegant on hover, a golden glow reserved for the logo. No inner shadows, no neumorphism, no frosted glass except on the nav bar.

## Tokens

| Token | Value | Use |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `--shadow-sm` | `0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.1)` | Buttons |
| `--shadow-soft` | `0 4px 22px rgba(0,0,0,.08)` | Cards · default |
| `--shadow-elegant` | `0 8px 32px rgba(21,38,59,.12)` | Cards · hover lift |
| `--shadow-glow` | `0 0 40px rgba(227,192,124,.3)` | Logo · hover only |

## Rules

- **No inner shadows.** Never. The brand reads light and open.
- **No neumorphism, no frosted glass** — except the scrolled nav, which uses saturated blur.
- The golden glow is **reserved for the logo on hover** — not for buttons or cards.
