Which color for what?
If you find it difficult to know which colors to use for what, here are a few tips.
Light colors for backgrounds
The light colors are for backgrounds – for example, the background color of your PowerPoint slide.
📌 Tip
A good rule is not to mix many different background colors in your presentations. Choose one color for your presentation and stick to that. Otherwise, it may seem too colorful and overshadow your message.
Dark colors for contrast effects
The dark colors are dark variants of the light colors and should not be used for backgrounds except the Retriever blue color. For example, use dark colors for labels, shapes, and icons. Just remember to use the correct dark color to match the light color you chose for your background.
Can I use other colors?
The short answer is: No.
Only use the colors that are within our own color palette. Read more about how to use our colors in the design guide.
