Nintendo.com circa 2001 assembles the web page like a console faceplate: every region is a brushed-periwinkle (#7a8aba) metal plate, edge-lit on top and shadow-lined with indigo (#3d4f97), the largest panels chamfered at 45°; a halftone-textured carbon-navy (#21242e) bar carries the nav, menu words glow in nav-gold (#e48600), utility chips sit in amber (#ecab37), and every forward move — the round arrows, the Submit button — is signal orange (#f68d1f). Full-bleed photographic hero fields run under white-outlined, hard-shadowed Arial Black box-art wordmarks, with Mario leaning out of the masthead; panels butt together on thin bevel seams, so the packed page reads like a control panel with no idle whitespace.
