The look of a clear coat

Clearcote's identity is built from one idea — a transparent protective layer. Here's the name, the mark, the chameleon, the palette and how to use them.

The name

A clear coat is the transparent lacquer applied as the final layer over a finish — it protects what's underneath while staying invisible. That's the whole project in two words:

Clear— transparent and auditable. Open source, readable patches, “don't trust, verify.”
Cote— a protective coat over Chromium for your browser identity, applied without being seen.

Written Clearcote (one word, capital C). The internal build codename “clearcoat” is never used publicly.

The mark

A rounded square coated in the signature teal → sky → iris gradient — the iridescent sheen of light on a clear coat. Cut into it is a white C that curls into a chameleon's tail, with a single turret eye perched on top: the letterform and the mascot are one shape. The ink outline keeps it readable at 16px, as an app icon, favicon or avatar.

The same mark, rebuilt live from its own graph points — the C-and-tail sampled straight from the shipped SVG path, wearing the teal → sky → iris sheen head to tail. The two unconnected points, in the contradiction red, are what an incoherent signal looks like: present, but backed by nothing.

Palette

A warm paper base, ink for structure, and teal as the one loud voice. Click a swatch to copy its hex. These are the exact tokens the UI is built from.

Paper

Page background. Warm, light, deliberately not dark-mode cyber.

Card

Raised surfaces — cards, chips, inputs.

Ink

Headings, sticker outlines, primary buttons.

Body

Primary body text.

Muted

Secondary text — WCAG-AA on paper and card.

Teal

The accent. Identity & stealth — fills, dots, beams, focus rings.

Teal ink

Teal as text — links and labels (AA).

Sky

Secondary accent — automation & code.

Iris

Tertiary accent — rare highlights and the gradient end. Sparingly.

Sun

Caveats and warnings only.

Mint

Verified, passed, clean states.

signature gradient · #19C9BB → #46B6FF → #8B6DFF · artwork only (logomark, Clyde), never text or chrome

Colors have jobs

Tints are assigned by meaning and held constant across the site — never rotated for variety.

Teal= Identity & stealth — the product's core subject
Sky= Automation & code — Playwright, Puppeteer, the SDK
Mint= Verified & passed — audit checks, de-Googled claims
Sun= Caveats & warnings — read this before you rely on it

One theme, deliberately

Clearcote ships a single light theme. Every anti-detect competitor does the same dark-blue “cyber” look; the warm paper is part of what makes the brand recognizable. Code surfaces — terminals, editors, log viewers — stay dark (#0b0e13) inside the light frame, the way a terminal actually looks on a light desktop. If a dark theme ever ships, it will be derived from these same tokens, not a second palette.

Typography

Display — Space Grotesk

Blend in. Stay clear.

Headlines and section titles.

UI & body — Inter

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Interface text, prose, captions.

Code & data — JetBrains Mono

Clyde, the chameleon

Chameleons blend in to stay unseen — which is the product's entire pitch (blend in, stay clear). Clyde wears the signature gradient with the same ink outline as the mark, so the two always read as one family. He is the brand's playful note; everything around him stays quiet so he can carry it.

Keep the gradient body and ink outline intact — never recolor him.
Animated (bob + blink) on marketing surfaces; static in product UI and emails.
One appearance per viewport — a mascot is seasoning, not the meal.
Don't place him over text, code, or anything a user needs to read.

Voice & tone

Transparent

We explain, we don't hand-wave. Show the patch, show the proof.

Technical, not hypey

Precise and developer-first. No magic, no superlatives we can't back.

Responsible

Privacy and lawful automation. We never frame the project around evasion.

Logo usage

Use the gradient mark on Paper or Card (light) surfaces — the ink outline keeps it crisp
Give it clear space equal to the C's height
Use the wordmark 'Clearcote' in Inter Semibold
Recolor to solid Ink only when one-color is required (print, engraving)

Don't

Re-color the gradient outside the palette
Stretch, rotate or add drop shadows/glows
Spell it 'Clear Coat', 'ClearCote' or 'clearcoat' publicly
Place the mark on a busy or low-contrast background

Open-source, de-Googled Chromium with engine-level fingerprint control. A drop-in for Playwright & Puppeteer, with reproducible, verifiable builds.

Long description

· directory “about”

Clearcote is an open-source anti-detect browser: a real Chromium build with fingerprint spoofing done at the C++ engine level, not a JavaScript shim or a Playwright patch. It controls canvas, WebGL, AudioContext, fonts, the User-Agent and UA-CH client hints, timezone, hardware concurrency, TLS/JA3, WebRTC and navigator.webdriver — coherently, so detection systems see a consistent, real browser. It's de-Googled (built on ungoogled-chromium) and drives identically to stock Chromium as a drop-in for Playwright and Puppeteer. Every change ships as a readable patch and every release is reproducible from source, so you can verify the binary byte-for-byte. Built for lawful automation, web scraping, QA testing and privacy — free and open source (BSD-3 / MIT).

Machine-readable

For tooling and agents that need the brand tokens.
