Brand colors and usage

For most use cases, stick to the Primary palette. Additional shades are provided for more complex applications. Logo colors should only be used for specific branding and not as general colors.

Using colors: avoid overlaying multiple hues (eg. orange on a blue background). This can cause color vibration and often does not meet WCAG guidelines. If you want to try a hue combination, make sure to first test that it meets at least AA levels: accessibility test here
