Usage and Permission

Usage

Usage of this colour is graded from * to ***** depending upon the extent of usage of the colour. The grades of usage are defined below:

• * is applicable when the colour is used in isolated instances across a page, for example as a minor part of a logo or graphic, or to emphasise a single word of text.
• ** applies to where the colour is used in an isolated instance as the main colour in an image, or across up to a paragraph of text.
• *** is the grade given where the colour is used as the secondary or tertiary colour in a theme or page design, but is not used as a prominent backbone of said colour scheme.
