COLOURS

The Seas Geosciences colour palette is built to reflect both the environments we work in and the clarity required to make critical decisions. It combines deep indigo and navy tones with white as the primary base, supported by coral accents for emphasis and a structured set of green and brown tones representing nearshore, onshore, and natural ground conditions.

The system is designed to feel technical, grounded, and adaptable across digital, print, and motion applications. Offshore, nearshore, and onshore gradient systems extend the palette to reflect changing environments and depth.

Colour should always be applied with restraint and intent, prioritising clarity, contrast, and legibility over decoration.

The colour system is led by dark blue, green and brown gradients, white typography and small coral accent elements, which form the primary visual foundation across layouts. Solid colours are used more sparingly as supporting elements—bringing emphasis through components such as icons, highlights, and key UI moments.

The gradient system extends the Seas Geosciences colour palette into dynamic environmental layers that reflect the transition between offshore, nearshore, and onshore conditions. Each gradient is grounded in the core brand colours — deep navy for offshore, green for nearshore, and brown for onshore — creating a visual language that mirrors real-world geological change. These gradients are used across digital interfaces, motion backgrounds, and key visual moments to add depth, atmosphere, and a sense of movement. Applied thoughtfully, they reinforce the idea of shifting conditions beneath the surface while maintaining a consistent, disciplined visual identity.
