# `PhiaUi.Themes.Zinc`
[🔗](https://github.com/charlenopires/PhiaUI/blob/v0.1.17/lib/phia_ui/themes/zinc.ex#L1)

The **Zinc** color preset — neutral dark, the shadcn/ui default.

## Design language

Zinc is an achromatic palette built around warm-neutral grey tones with a
barely-perceptible warm hue (hue angle ~285°). It is the default preset for
shadcn/ui and the reference starting point for PhiaUI.

Use Zinc when you want:

- A professional, unobtrusive UI that puts content first.
- Maximum compatibility with existing Tailwind grey-based designs.
- A dark mode that feels genuinely dark (near-black background) without being
  harsh.

## Color values

All values are encoded in **OKLCH** (CSS Color Level 4). The three numeric
arguments are:

- **L** — perceived lightness, 0 (black) to 1 (white)
- **C** — chroma (color saturation), 0 = achromatic grey
- **H** — hue angle in degrees (0-360), irrelevant when C is near 0

The near-zero chroma values (C ≈ 0.004–0.016) give zinc its characteristic
"warm grey" look — just enough hue to avoid the clinical coldness of pure
neutral greys.

## Radius

Uses `0.625rem` (10px at 16px base font) — slightly rounder than a sharp
`0.5rem`, giving a friendly yet restrained appearance.

# `theme`

```elixir
@spec theme() :: PhiaUi.Theme.t()
```

Returns the Zinc theme preset struct.

## Example

    iex> theme = PhiaUi.Themes.Zinc.theme()
    iex> theme.name
    "zinc"
    iex> theme.radius
    "0.625rem"
