Secondary Color

To allow for design and brand flexibility, gold type is permitted on white, but only if accessible gold is used. Branded gold cannot be used for type on white backgrounds. When using accessible gold for type, use Helvetica Neue 77 or thinner.

Accessible gold is a secondary color and can only be used as 20-30% of a layout.
