Colour

PV is a black-and-white brand with one accent. Near-black and white carry the page; pink marks the moments that matter. The website has a dark mode and a light mode, and both use this palette.

Core palette

PV Black

The background of the dark site, and the colour of the mark on light grounds.

White

Text on dark, and the background of the light site.

PV Pink

The accent on dark: highlights, live states, small marks. Never a large fill.

Pink Ink

The accent on white. A deeper pink that keeps text readable.

Spectrum

Four colours that only appear in motion: the rotating word on the homepage and the Spectrum logo animation. They pass through and settle back to ink. Never use them as fills, backgrounds or in illustrations.

Proportions

Most of every layout is black or white. Greys hold secondary text and lines. Pink stays small: a few words, a dot, a line.

Contrast

Body text needs a contrast of at least 4.5:1; large headlines 3:1. These pairings pass.
