Colors

Color is a powerful means of recognition, helping establish a clear identity and distinction for Outdoor and our products. At the heart of our brand is Outdoor Teal. Inspired by Swiss glacial lakes, Teal is balanced, cool, and constant. It is stable, reliable and trustworthy.

Teal requires little to no adjustment of the eyes, providing the perfect contrast to our products, which are visually intense and exciting.

Brand colors

Our color palette is simple and impactful. It includes Outdoor Teal, black, white and Gray. In addition to the colors inherent within photography, these are the only colors to be used in our brand communications. This concise palette of colors will help increase visual impact and overall brand recall.

Each experience should be dominated by black, white, gray, and our Outdoor Teal, allowing our imagery to bring vibrance.

Color modes

Color specifications are different across various media applications, it is important to use the correct color mode for the specific media application to achieve the intended color values.

PMS: Spot printing, screen printing and embroidery use Pantone® color modes.
CMYK: Digital printing from Adobe CS programs uses CMYK color mode.
RGB: Websites and applications use RGB color mode.
HEX: Video applications use HEX color mode.
Note: Colors will not match exactly across various media applications. This is due to the differences between the displaying media and type of reproduction. For instance, colors will appear more vibrant in digital than on paper because digital is a backlit surface, as opposed to paper, which is an opaque surface. Even within the same media, applications may appear slightly different. For example, computer screens may be calibrated differently, and paper materials have different hues and levels of opacity.
