Direct accents
Reserved for the Direct business, to draw a clear visual line with Indirect. Accent use only, never dominant. Recommended for icons, badges, key figures, illustrations, navigation elements and other visual signposting. Deliberate, targeted use that reinforces recognition of the Direct perimeter without creating an identity separate from Be-Cloud.

Gradients — momentum, without overdoing it
Gradients are an accent device. They highlight an element, create a focal point or add rhythm, without ever taking over from the content.
Key principles
- Intentional and considered use
- They accentuate rather than decorate by default
- Content always stays the main element
Avoid
- Gradients everywhere in one piece
- Replacing flat colour by default
- Stacking several gradients in one composition
- Backgrounds that hurt legibility
Best practice
- A few strong uses beat constant presence
- Keep contrast sufficient
- Stay visually consistent across the piece
- Pick the gradient that fits the message and stick with it
