Color palette

What's new

We've integrated new colors into our palette, alongside adaptations of our existing ones, creating a more modern system that includes beautiful gradients for added depth and dimension. The Yellow has been removed from the palette.

Colors

Orange is CARE's primary color, essential for impact, recognition, and consistency in our branding. Indigo and Purple serve as secondary colors, supporting the primary brand color. Lilac and Blush should be used sparingly for accents and highlights. Cream remains a great neutral background to complement the overall color scheme.
