Milkcrate is launching late 2026. These docs show how it will work.

Colour, text and layout

Main colour, background, font, size, letters, top bar, corners, boxes and spacing, all set from the Site page.

These settings sit on the Site page, in the Colour, Text and Layout cards. Except for Main colour, each choice is drawn as a small picture of your site with only that setting changed, so you can see what it does before you pick it. Nothing changes on your site until you press Save.

Main colour

Pick a swatch: Violet, Blue, Green, Orange, Rose or Black. For any other colour, press the + button, choose it in the picker and press Use colour. Your site has one main colour. It colours buttons and highlights, and the text on top of it is switched to light or dark so it stays readable.

Background

Cool, Clean, Neutral or Warm, listed from coolest to warmest. This sets the shade of the greys behind your content.

Font

Your site uses one font. There are four to choose from:

  • Helvetica Neue
  • Monument Grotesk
  • Forma DJR
  • NB Architekt

Size

Small, Standard or Large. It scales the text across your whole site, headings included.

Letters

Capitals, As written or Lowercase. This sets the case of the text across your site. NB Architekt is drawn in capitals already, so this changes little with that font.

Top bar

Floating keeps the bar clear of the screen edges. Full width runs it edge to edge.

Corners, boxes and spacing

  • Corners: Square for sharp edges, or Curved for softly rounded ones.
  • Boxes: how cards and menus are drawn. Outlined is white with a grey line. Shaded is light grey.
  • Spacing: Standard or Spacious. Spacious puts a little more room between things.
