Colour at Laurier

Our primary colour palette consists of two primary colours, purple and gold. Our secondary palette is an extension of our primary palette offering light and dark variations to support Laurier purple and gold. Our tertiary palette is divided into two categories, ‘brights’ and ‘neutrals’. The colours must always be used together in combination with Laurier purple and gold to create a distinguished, contemporary, premium overall look and feel.

It is important to maintain a sense of hierarchy, balance and harmony when using the Laurier colour palette.
