Color Usage Standards - Collateral Building Guide

These standards help us stay unified and expedite the creation of clear collateral for our network and partners.

No gradients. Bands and washes are always flat, solid colors.

Tertiary colors are highlights, not themes. Tertiary colors are to be uses for charts, diagrams or special highlights.

• Content backgrounds are white. To ensure contrast and clarity, never use creame or beige backgrounds on text.  Schematic Gray (#f2f2f2) may be used as a highlight box behind text where necessary.

• One bold blue at a time. Never mix Orion blues in the same component.
