The secondary palette was carefully selected to complement our vibrant blue as well as reflect our bold personality.

These secondary colors also help designers avoid the overuse of blue. The use of white space and colors from the secondary color palette creates the right environment for Sophos Blue to stand out. The secondary palette is used for items such as sidebars, charts, graphs, color borders, etc. The Pantone numbers, as well as the CMYK and RGB values, are noted.

Limit the number of secondary colors used in a single piece so they do not create an environment where Sophos is not recognizable.

Avoid color combinations of black and blue.
