Colours

Primary palette

Our primary colour palette consists of three bold colours: two traditional blues, paired with a vibrant orange. These
convey enthusiasm, creativity, success, encouragement, change and determination.

Follow these unique colour breakdowns for appropriate reproduction across all mediums.

Use these colours at full strength, not tinted or multiplied. (Monochomatic tinting approved in Brand Art only)

Print: Avoid using Tech Tangerine in font smaller than 16pt in print applications.


Secondary palette

Our neutral secondary colour palette supports and complements our bold primary palette.

Our warm, cool and dark greys can be used as tints as needed for contrast in application.

Minimum contrast ratios must be met for use of grey values. Black text must be used on warm and cool grey to be web compliant.

Colour-use ratio

This is the recommended usage ratio guide in application.

Our Future and Simcoe Blues are used most prominently, balanced with a generous amount of white.

Reserve our Tech Tangerine for more judicious and strategic pops of colour and for our Arrow. Complement this with the secondary palette.
