Color palette
Example: A Brooklyn pizzeria documents its palette as one tomato-red primary, a charcoal secondary, a mustard accent, and two warm neutrals, so its menu, website, and takeout bag all print the exact same red instead of three guesses.
the curated set of colors that belong to your brand
The curated set of colors that belong to a brand — typically a primary, a secondary, a small number of accents, and a couple of neutrals. Each color has a defined hex value (and often CMYK / Pantone equivalents for print), a role, and a documented accessibility pair for text.
Why it matters
After the logo itself, the palette is the single largest carrier of brand feel. A restaurant with a defined palette renders consistently on its menu, its website, its Instagram grid, and its takeout bag; without one, every vendor invents their own. Brand Suite extracts a palette from an uploaded logo in the browser.
