Colour

Inspired by the diversity of colour in te taiao, we have a wide range of colours in our brand to draw upon.

Our palettes

We have a distinctive tri-tone approach to colour in our brand. Any of the below palettes can be used in a layout and have all been extensively tested for accessibility. Black and white can also be used where needed but are not part of our core colour set.

For guidance on applying colour to graphic texture view the graphic texture page.
