The primary colours should be the dominant palette for all print and digital assets. This will ensure DEWR maintains a consistent visual identity. These colours have been 
specifically chosen for practical reasons including legibility, contrast ratios and accessibility requirements. The tints can be used for graphic elements, infographics, il ustrations, 
charts, diagrams and headers on dark backgrounds.
