Color Application
- Uses RGB color values for precise brand matching
- Applied via python-pptx's RGBColor class
- Maintains color fidelity across different systems
Example
from pptx.dml.color import RGBColor
ANTHROPIC_ORANGE = RGBColor(0xD9, 0x77, 0x57)
ANTHROPIC_DARK = RGBColor(0x14, 0x14, 0x13)
Application Checklist
When applying brand styling to an artifact:
- Preserve the user's content hierarchy before changing colors or fonts.
- Apply brand colors as accents, not as full-page decoration unless the user asks for a campaign-style visual.
- Check contrast for body text, captions, chart labels, and callout blocks.
- Keep typography consistent across headings, body copy, tables, and annotations.
- Avoid mixing unrelated brand systems in the same output.
- If the artifact already follows another company's brand, ask before replacing it with Anthropic styling.
Review Criteria
The final artifact should pass these checks:
- The primary action or message is still visually dominant after styling.
- Orange accents are used sparingly enough to retain emphasis.
- Dark backgrounds do not reduce readability or printability.
- Charts and diagrams remain interpretable in grayscale or low-contrast projectors.
- Font fallbacks produce acceptable layout if Poppins or Lora are unavailable.
Use brand guidelines to improve clarity and polish, not to obscure the user's original intent.
