Paypay

PayPay is Japan's dominant QR-code mobile wallet — the app that, almost single-handedly, dragged a famously cash-loving country into cashless payments. Its visual language is loud where Japanese fintech is traditionally quiet: a single, screaming PayPay Red (#FF0033) sits at the center of everything, and the entire interface orbits it. Where a legacy Japanese bank app whispers in navy and gray, PayPay shouts in pure, saturated red. That red is the brand; remove it and nothing is left.

Guidelines

Do and Don't guidelines parsed from DESIGN.md.

Do

  • Use PayPay Red (#FF0033) for the primary money action on every screen — it is the brand and the CTA
  • Keep surfaces white / gray-50 and let red carry all the energy
  • Use the system Japanese font stack (Hiragino / Noto Sans JP / Yu Gothic) — no webfont required
  • Make balances and amounts large and 700 weight — numbers are the emotional payload
  • Celebrate payment completion with a dedicated full-screen red moment, not a toast
  • Use pill / 24px-radius full-width CTAs for primary actions
  • Reserve gold (#FFB200) for points and green (#00B900) for success

Don't

  • n't dilute the red — one saturated brand red, never a palette of competing accents for primary actions
  • n't use brand red (#FF0033) to mean "error"; errors use deeper #E0002E plus an alert icon
  • n't render payment success as a quiet toast or inline checkmark — it is a full screen
  • n't introduce a proprietary or decorative display font; stay system-native for checkout reliability
  • n't crowd the payment/charge flow — at the moment money moves, one amount and one button only
  • n't use pure black (#000) for text; use #222222
  • n't make CTAs square-cornered — PayPay's geometry is rounded and friendly (≥12px, pill for primary)
