Color Palette

Our color palette is simple: DSA Red, DSA Black, and white. These three colors, along with their tints, work well printed and on-screen.

DSA Red

DSA Red is our primary color. Lean on it! Use it as much as you can. It’s bright, bold, and — combined with illustrations or bold typography — serves as a strong anchor to the DSA identity.

Tints

Tints of our primary red color are a great way to add variety to your designs if there’s too much red or something is not feeling colorful enough.
