About the Xerox Grey template
Photocopy-of-photocopy greyscale tones stack with visible fold lines, evoking documents left in fluorescent office light. The design embraces degradation and analog imperfection as core aesthetic. Build your list with a referral leaderboard that rewards the scrappiest promoters, those who copy your message most faithfully and spread it throughout their networks.
What the demo shows
The live demo on this page launches Copyshop, a made-up product we wrote to show the template with realistic copy: the headline reads “Zines, printed tomorrow.” and the subhead says “Upload your zine PDF tonight, get stapled copies on your doorstep by the weekend. Any quantity, even ten.” Below it you see the signup form, a demo launch countdown and the share-to-climb referral panel exactly as a visitor would. Try the form: in the demo nothing is stored. When you use Xerox Grey, you replace Copyshop with your own product name, headline, subhead and logo; the palette and motion come with it and every colour stays editable.
Design details
Xerox Grey is a light template: an off-white background (#e5e5e5), near-black type (#0c0a09) and a near-black accent (#0c0a09) on the join button, the countdown and the referral highlights. Body text sits at a 15.7:1 contrast ratio against the background, comfortably past the WCAG AAA threshold. Behind the copy the page animates with CRT scanlines, kept quiet behind the copy; visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get a still frame instead. Structurally it uses the Manifesto layout, shared with 93 other templates, but the palette, the motion and the demo copy are Xerox Grey's own.

How it compares
Within Monochrome, Xerox Grey stands out for its near-black accent on an off-white ground. If it is not quite right, Blackout flips to a dark near-black canvas with a white accent and an animated single line layer (“Pure black, single white line”). White Void is also light but leans on a near-black accent and an animated single line layer (“Pure white, single black line”). Onyx Minimal flips to a dark near-black canvas with a white accent and gem-like facets catching the light (“Glossy obsidian, sharp edge”). All of them share the same signup, referral and analytics features, so switching later only changes the look.
