Supplementary colors

The supplementary color palette with its blue and pink hues, natural greens plus complementary purples and warm yellow add a warm, natural and human feel to the overall brand expression. The color scheme visualizes our company vision: "Greater well-being for all".

Usage of supplementary colors

Supplementary colors are used for charts, infographics and as supplementary colors, such as for visually distinguishing between different businesses and focus areas.

Priority 1

The red and blue tones in the supplementary palette are extensions of our primary brand colors. The red and blue tones are the first choice to amplify the brand colors in charts and infographics.

Priority 2

The green colors may be used with the primary brand colors in layouts with specific focus on sustainability and environmental issues.

Priority 3

The purple colors are complementary to red and blue in the color spectrum and may be used as an extra differentiating color.
Yellow colors are used only when relevant and meaningful, such as for communicating solar energy, climate control systems or thermal solutions.
