Neutral palette page, an off-white plus two grey ramps (blue-grey and near-black) shown as tint steps for text and backgrounds.
Summary
The neutral-colour page: a warm off-white, a blue-grey ramp and a near-black ramp, each broken into tint steps, designated for text and backgrounds with an explicit "never use black or white" rule.
Visual description
White page, utility frame ("5.3. NEUTRAL COLOURS", "IKAN TALENT MOBILITY", page "35", "NOVEMBER 2023"); the left-margin instruction reads "Use the neutral colour palette for text and background usage. Never use black or white." Layout: a single warm off-white card (#FCFBF5) sits top-left with its RGB/CMYK/HEX. Below it two horizontal rows of rounded swatches step down in tint: a blue-grey base (#809DAC) with Tint 80/65/45/25/10%, and a near-black base (#10141C) with Tint 75/60/45/30/10/5%. Base swatches carry full values; tint steps are labeled by percentage.
Key takeaway
Specifying an intentional off-white and a custom near-black (instead of #FFFFFF / #000000), with full tint ramps, gives the brand softer, on-tone neutrals and a built-in grey scale for UI and text.
Reuse notes
A practical neutrals page; the "never pure black or white" rule plus warm off-white is a common premium move worth borrowing. The tint-step ramps double as a UI greyscale. Reads as the third panel of the color spread (slides 33-35).
