Referent

Modern legal AI. Built in 2026, for practices built in the last decade. Not navy. Not enterprise. Not for the AmLaw 100. Designed in cobalt because the small firm we’re for already lives there.

The contemporary alternative

What 2026 legal AI actually looks like.

Referent is the legal AI for the solo and small-firm practitioners that Harvey ignores and Legora can’t price. Modern. Cited. Plain. No annual minimums. No platform-speak. No navy.

03

The palette.

Off-white · Ink · Electric cobalt

Cobalt, not navy.

Verdict commits to a single saturated cobalt — not the corporate navy that Harvey, Legora, and every legal-tech vendor reaches for. Cobalt at OKLCH lightness 0.55, chroma 0.22 — electric, sky-meets-ink, modern. Paired with off-white nearly-paper and warm-cool ink. The third color in the palette is its absence.

VS THE DEFAULT

Every legal-tech competitor lands at navy. We don’t. Cobalt at full chroma is 17% brighter, sits at hue 255° (vs 250° navy), and reads as confidence rather than committee. Same word. Different verdict.

04

The product.

Sidebar · Empty state · Composer

Modern by default.

Same product as the rest of the spread, in the modernist register. Sidebar pills are pure cobalt-soft on active. The empty-hero composer is a single rounded bar. The shadow under the frame is cobalt-tinted — quiet, not theatrical.
