System prompt

This is a museum and gallery website for 'The Broad'. The design DNA is institutional, clean, and high-contrast, designed to let contemporary artwork stand out. The primary palette is a clean white (#FFFFFF) background with a neutral dark grey (#333F48) for ink and a singular, dominant high-chroma red (#D6001C) for accents and calls to action. The typography relies on a clean grotesque-sans category, using uppercase text heavily for headings and navigation to create a bold, graphic feel. Critical donts include avoiding decorative serifs, avoiding muted pastel accents, and ensuring artwork is never obscured by heavy UI elements or complex gradients.
