Colour palette
The colour palette is broken down in to core, neutral and accent colours. This section describes how each of them should be used. Avoid prescribing colours to specific departments or services and instead select colours appropriate to the application.
Core
Dark Grey, Yellow and White are our core colours with Blue Grey, Cool Grey and Light Grey used to compliment. Our core palette should be used for all primary public-facing communications.
