Utilize the graphite-lime palette effectively: graphite for backgrounds and headings, lime for key metrics to ensure visibility. Maintain a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for accessibility.

Implement a 12-column grid for a 4:3 ratio layout. Position KPI cards at the top for immediate visibility and charts in the middle for easy analysis. Maintain 16-24px padding and 16-20px gaps between cards.

Use a consistent font family (Inter or similar): Dashboard title at 24-28px bold, section headers at 18-20px semibold, card titles at 14-16px medium, and body text at 12-14px regular.

Choose chart types that match data: line charts for trends, gauges for targets, and heatmaps for performance distribution. Limit colors per chart to 5-7, and add tooltips for additional context.

Create a clear visual hierarchy with the most important metrics being the largest and boldest. Use whitespace to separate sections and highlight anomalies with conditional formatting.

Implement hover states for interactive elements and loading indicators during data refreshes. Provide clear visual feedback on filter selections to enhance user experience.
