Colors

Primary colors

The primary colors are derived from the Umicore logo, and reflect the colors of the natural world. These colors must be matched accurately to ensure that they always appear consistently.

Secondary colors

Secondary colors are derived from the color palette within the spectrum from Umicore green to Umicore blue, otherwise known as a “gradient from green to blue”.

These colors can be used in charts, diagrams and as backgrounds. They must be matched accurately to ensure they always appear consistently.

We advise to use Pantone 369 C or a darker shade of green when used as a background color with white text.

Secondary gray colors

Another group fo secondary colors are derived from the color palette within the sprectrum from light gray to dark grey, otherwise known as "gradient from light to dark gray".

These colors can be used in charts, diagrams and as backgrounds. They must be matched accurately to ensure they always appear consistently.

Tertiary spot colors

Lastly, there is a collection of six, specified spot colours that can be used in a very limited manner as an accent of colour relief from the possible monotony of too many primary and secondary colours, in slide presentations, for example.

Tertiary spot colours cannot, under any circumstances, be used as a primary or secondary color.

Web application

The colors used for web are adopted from the main Umicore brand colors with an exception for the primary blue. The palette is also more limited for accessibility reasons and to ensure a minimal, consistent look & feel. More information here.

Gradient

The Umicore palette contains three types of gradients.
