About

Carbon is IBM's open-source design system for products and digital experiences that provides a shared foundation for building consistent user interfaces across applications.

It includes reusable UI components and patterns, design tools such as Figma kits, human interface guidelines, and resources aligned with the IBM Design Language, and offers over 50 production-ready components with a structured grid and accessibility support.

Material Design is a design system developed by Google that defines a unified visual and interaction language used across Android, web, and other platforms.

It uses grid-based layouts, consistent color palettes and typography, interactive "elevation" shadows and lighting to convey depth, motion and animation for user feedback and transitions, and a comprehensive set of ready-to-use UI components.
