Our brand guidelines

Logos, colors, and type, with the handful of rules that keep them looking like us. Everything here is free to use when you're writing about Made In Tandem or working alongside us.

Deep indigo, warmed by olive

The palette reads as confident and human rather than corporate and cold. Use the primary group for most of everything and bring in accents only when you need energy or emphasis. Flat, solid color only: no gradients, tints, or opacity on brand colors.

Primary

These four carry the brand and show up in every major touchpoint.

  • Dark Indigo #001129 rgb(0, 17, 41) Primary brand color. Headers, nav, footer backgrounds.
  • Medium Indigo #0A2C49 rgb(10, 44, 73) Headings, subheads, secondary buttons.
  • Graceful Olive #6F7347 rgb(111, 115, 71) Accent. Section labels, quote marks, icons.
  • Brash Burgundy #8D134D rgb(141, 19, 77) Primary buttons, links, calls to action.

Neutrals

The structural backbone: text, backgrounds, and visual rhythm.

  • Sharpie Black #191819 rgb(25, 24, 25) Default text. Softer than pure black.
  • Website White #FBFBF5 rgb(251, 251, 245) Page background. Warmer than stark white.
  • Fog Grey #F2F2F3 rgb(242, 242, 243) Card backgrounds, alternating sections.
  • French Grey #E3DCD9 rgb(227, 220, 217) Borders, dividers, subtle UI.
  • Parchment #FFF4E6 rgb(255, 244, 230) Warm highlight backgrounds, callouts.

Accents

For emphasis, charts, and illustration. Not for large background areas.

  • Rebellious Red #F06553 rgb(240, 101, 83) Alerts, decorative dashes, energy.
  • Mature Yellow #FDBE14 rgb(253, 190, 20) Highlights, titles on dark backgrounds.
  • Cold Indigo #96BCBC rgb(150, 188, 188) Illustrations, subtle tints.
  • Growing Green #80998C rgb(128, 153, 140) Secondary illustrations.
  • Lively Lavender #F0E4EB rgb(240, 228, 235) CTA section backgrounds.
  • Forest Green #2D3F23 rgb(45, 63, 35) Dark alternative to indigo.
  • Original Ochre #D3AD44 rgb(211, 173, 68) Icon accents, line work.
  • Ripened Red #962F1E rgb(150, 47, 30) Deep accent, hover states.
