Color Palettes

Our colors say a lot about who we are. They help identify us at a glance and set the tone for our communications, whether that’s bold and powerful, or inspirational and passionate.

Primary

Our primary colors should be visible in all communications, including publication covers, website pages, billboards, posters, digital and print advertisements, formal invitations, and recruitment materials.
