Color

Color helps establish our company's brand voice. It helps emphasize meaning to our customers data in order to help them achieve a successful outcome for their organizations mission. Use our established guidelines to apply color where specified. Each CTA, link, form field, as well as other component in the neon system follow specific color guidelines.

Brand Colors

Sometimes, designers or developers will need to create new patterns and features that will rely on the use of additional colors for elements such dividers, cards, and ruling lines. In order to maintain a consistent color scheme, please refer to our color shading index we have created from our primary, secondary, and tertiary brand colors. We have grouped colors into 5 categories:

Our primary palette is comprised of neutrals, white, and blue. These colors are present across most touch points from marketing to product.

Neutrals have varying degrees of saturation that allow for the appropriate level of warmth across marketing and product. Typically they are used for text and subtle backgrounds when we don't want to draw too much attention to a particular touchpoint or convey information such as "to do" or "disabled".
