Lead with yellow and black

Sunlight and Titanium form the primary palette. White and supporting greys give content space and structure.

Add purposeful colour

Use HSA Orange, HSA Green and HSA Blue as secondary colours. Use RGB / HEX for screens and CMYK / Pantone for print.

Functional colour clarification

The manual’s positive-green swatch lists HEX #FFCB05 but RGB 52, 150, 81. These values conflict. Confirm the intended token with Corporate Communications before applying it. Negative red is #D70000.

COLOUR PALETTE

Primary               Sunlight                        Titanium

Our primary colour palette
is inspired by our Yemeni heritage.

The colour palette is broken down                    Optimism                          Resilient
into print and screen values.             Clarity                          Elegant
CMYK values should be used when
producing printed materials in either                  Warmth                        Strong
litho or digital formats.

For best results when printing a large
area digitally, a rich black is preferred.

RGB values should be used for all screen
based materials including digital (web,
TV, email signature etc.) and internal
or external digital documents (Word,
PowerPoint etc.).

due to the consistent application of our
primary colours of yellow and black.
