Print Colours

Our Tearfund colour palette has been selected and allocated specific roles to maintain a branded look and feel across all our communications both in print and on digital platforms. Our palette is split into three colours sets, Primary Colours, Secondary Colours and Supporting Colours. Each colour set has a particular function, therefore guidelines have been set so that colours are used for the right purpose and in the right quantity.

Supporting Colours

We use our set of supporting colours for text and graphics within documents when we need to use a different colour to our core blue. We also use supporting colours in our illustrations.

They have been specifically selected to pass accessibility requirements so can be used for text 14pt or over on white, and white text on each colour.

For more guidance on text box colours please contact design@tearfund.org (new guidance page for text-boxes will be coming soon).
