Color
Acumen's color palette comprises 34 colors, divided into 19 primary and 15 secondary shades. To maintain consistency in Acumen's visual identity, adhere to the following guidelines regarding color usage.
- Utilize the primary color palette for all brand collateral, including presentations, marketing materials, social media graphics, printed and digital assets, and event materials.
- Ensure that the secondary color palette is always combined with the primary palette. It serves as a complementary palette and should be used in conjunction with the primary colors to enhance visual appeal and maintain brand coherence.
