Newsroom — the broadcast.

Ultra simple: Argent body, NewsroomCards with a Flare top stripe for the logo and wordmark, Argent body for reading, Flare CTAs. Flare appears three times per card (stripe, CTA, stationery) — never as the room itself. Bordeaux never appears on Newsroom (Letters-only); Amber never appears on Newsroom (Workshop-only).

Why we pick the boring database every time.

Postgres is load-bearing; excitement is technical debt. Specimen card — not a real bulletin.

Specimen · Controls

CTAs on Newsroom are Flare, with Ink text.

The primary control rhymes with the Flare stripe at the top of every NewsroomCard — one colour system, repeated at two scales. The button sits on the Argent body so Flare carries real contrast; the text sets in Ink with a rounded-md corner, matching the rest of the product.

The Flare business card is Newsroom-scoped — press officers, events, broadcast communications. Iron chrome stays the default working card across the org (see Applied footer); this one rides when Guardian is speaking, not doing.

Flare appears on three Newsroom surfaces per card: the top stripe carrying the logo + wordmark, the CTA button, and (where scoped) stationery. Body reading, kickers, bylines, and archive meta all set as Ink on Argent. If a page wants Flare in a fourth place, it probably wants Workshop (Amber) or Letters (Bordeaux) instead.

04 · Applied — Photography

Argent needs a floor.

Photography and video break the Iron canvas rule by definition — the ground is whatever the image contains. The mark still reads as Argent, but it now needs a floor: an iron scrim gradient that guarantees ≥ 3:1 contrast on the wings, regardless of what the camera saw.

3.5 × 2 inches.

The working card, carried by everyone. Iron ground, argent wings cropped tight to the glyph — the same mark the live console wears, handed across a table.
