Style Guide
A Style Guide addresses the Fonts, colors, layout and other design aspects of your branding. The scope of your Style Guide might be very broad, or it may just focus on the company website elements.
A long time ago, I created a script that would parse a CSS file and generate the unwritten style guide that's embodied in it. Until I resurrect that script, you might need to refer to other helpful resources on creating a Style Guide
