Colours (EMBL-EBI)

Core EMBL-EBI colours

Consistent colours help us achieve a consistent EMBL-EBI "look". You can use a standard reday-made colour palette that we provide or some projects may want to use a custom palette.

We provide these basic colour palettes that will be of use for many projects:

EBI Petrol

The default.
Found at css/theme-embl-petrol.css

Services

Close to EBI Petrol.
Found at css/theme-ebi-services-about.css

Research

Green.
Found at css/theme-ebi-research.css

Training

Golden.
Found at css/theme-ebi-training.css

Industry

Bright blue ocean.
Found at css/theme-ebi-training.css

You can call these colours directly with these colour and background-colour classes:

.ebi-background { background: rgb(0,124,130); }
.services-background { background: rgb(2,100,105); }
.research-background { background: rgb(168,200,19); }
.training-background { background: rgb(233,180,0); }
.industry-background { background: rgb(0,134,180); }
.elixir-background { background: rgb(251,106,42); }
.white-background { background: rgb(255,255,255); }

.ebi-color { color: rgb(0,124,130); }
.services-color { color: rgb(2,100,105); }
.research-color { color: rgb(168,200,19); }
.training-color { color: rgb(233,180,0); }
.industry-color { color: rgb(0,134,180); }
.elixir-color { color: rgb(251,106,42); }
.white-color { color: rgb(255,255,255); }

Note: we recommend using the RGB values (support is near-universal. The alpha, RGBA mode, is available from IE 9.)
