Colors

The colors of our identity were chosen to reflect the key attributes of our personality. Our colors can be used in different ways for different applications, including PMS, CMYK, RGB and HEX color codes.

 

Pantone Matching System (PMS) - A system of standardized inks used for printing consistent colors.

CMYK -  A subtractive color model for digital and offset printing. Colors are created by using a combination of cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks.

RGB - A color profile for monitors that uses light rendered onscreen by using combinations of red, green and blue.

HEX - Designers and developers commonly use HEX colors in web design. A HEX color is expressed as a six-digit combination of numbers and letters defined by its mix of red, green and blue (RGB).
