Paper - a black and white link in bio template

Paper strips the palette to its absolute minimum: a pure-white page, pure-white cards, and a near-black border at 8 % lightness that outlines each card like a ruled box on a printed page. Primary text sits at 4 % lightness - effectively ink - with a medium-grey secondary label at 30 % for supporting copy. With no colour anywhere in the system, every ounce of personality comes from your words, your photography, and the stark geometry of the layout.

All seven colour roles are achromatic: white base, white primary card, a light-grey secondary surface for avatar placeholders, a near-black border, a near-black primary label, a medium-grey secondary label, and a near-white tertiary label. Paper is the light-mode mirror of Midnight - where Midnight is white ink on a black page, Paper is black ink on white, with the border doing the structural work that colour does elsewhere.

Paper suits creators whose work speaks in black and white: graphic designers, type designers, architects, fine-art and street photographers, zine makers, and writers. The brutalist outline aesthetic nods to print design, Swiss typography, and early-web minimalism. It is also the strongest possible canvas for colour photography - against a pure monochrome page, every image becomes the loudest thing on screen.

Load Paper in the Linky editor and the page snaps into its print-like grid immediately. From there, the smallest moves have the biggest effect: softening the border to a mid-grey relaxes the brutalism towards quiet minimalism; introducing a single colour to the border role creates a striking outlined-accent look; and warming the white base a few points towards cream shifts the reference from laser print to book paper.
