Flatiron Global Palette

Our dynamic color palette is designed to work in tandem with our prismatic shape language. Overlapping shapes yield a color change within our graphic iconography. Together it distinguishes us and makes us recognizable.

Below is our global color palette that contains a range of swatches we use to create smaller variable palettes for compositions. Our primary brand colors are purple and blue.

Flatiron primary purple: #5051DB
Flatiron primary blue: #3882F5













Color palette generation

We build color palettes based on a set of rules. Our color choices are vibrant, and color pairings are unexpected. Palettes change often and change is a constant. Try our color palette generator.



Depending on the use of the composition, we have a 5-color rule and a 2-color rule. The 5-color rule is our standard for most applications while our 2-color rule is used when a simpler, monochromatic palette is needed.

The 5-Color rule

Collectively, Flatiron Purple (swatches Purple 50-900) and Blue (swatches Blue 50-900) should approximately occupy 2/3 of the composition. Flatiron’s primary purple is purple 600* and primary blue is blue 500*.






Other color swatches should be chosen according to the following rules:

A light swatch (50-200) must be used

A dark swatch (700-900) must be used

Two swatches from the mid range (300-600) must be used (completed sample palette)


When using white text on a composition, white is considered the fifth color and can be incorporated into the prismatic shapes. White does NOT replace Flatiron Blue or Flatiron Purple. If using a premade palette for events, swap the lightest tint to white.



When using black text, black is not considered a one of the five shades but rather accompanies the five shades.


The 2-Color rule

Only tints and shades of Flatiron Purples and Blues are used


White is allowed to be one of the colors in the palette





Specifications

The palette’s hex, RGB, and CMYK color codes are listed below. The core color palette swatches are indicated with a star. To render the best results for print, only select swatches that have PMS matches. Only those swatches are to be selected for print collateral when PMS codes are necessary, as other shades may not transfer as accurately due to being too light or dark.

Accessibility & contrast

We have designed our color system to be WCAG AA compliant. All swatches have a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 when text is placed on top.

When applying text: Use black text on the color range 50-500. Use white text on the color range 600-900. Always check accessibility with a contrast checker.
