Using it

Do

  • Keep cream and black as the constant base and use magenta and cobalt like poster highlighters
  • Hold semantic colours (success, warning, error) to small functional roles, never visually primary
  • Build elevation from the registration-offset magenta+cobalt plates, not from grey shadows

Avoid

  • Do not let magenta and cobalt fill whole backgrounds as gradients or glow
  • Do not introduce a fourth signature hue or a pastel wash
  • Do not place a single coloured edge on a card as the only accent
