Each brand has its own accent color:
- PDP: Indigo (#283352)
- SUM: Ivy Green (#4c8344)
- EXT: Shield Blue (#00478a)
Please use the accent colors only on their respective site.
If a page has more than one column layout block on it: Please only use the accent color background one time for the most important piece of information you want to highlight. This is to prevent overwhelming or confusing messaging, and keep the page looking neat.
Color backgrounds with long copy can make the block too bulky or heavy. Please only use no background or white for longer copy.
