01 / Hierarchy

Colour With Intent

Each layer carries a role. Foundation structures. Yellow signals. Purple accents. Stages contextualise. None of them compete.

Foundation
Black, White, Greys / Silver. Structure. Clarity. Premium across all formats.
Soho Yellow: Brand Signal
Highlights, icons, decorative lines, logomarks. Never a background. Attention. Signal. Energy.
Oscar's Purple: Accent
Key accent and secondary brand colour. Atmosphere. Culture. Nightlife.
Discovery and Stage
Context and programming only. Stage identity. Not brand-defining.

The Full Palette

All colours locked from the 26 Soho Brand Guidelines PDF. Pages stay black; swatches, photos and event marks carry the saturation.

Display carries the title card. Reading carries the page. Serif carries the emotion. Caps carries the overlines.

The room holds two hundred. The mic is live at seven. The band hits at eight. The club breathes below, and the kitchen sends up bread on white plates.

08 / Callouts

Quiet Emphasis

Thin vertical colour bar. Small Special Gothic label in light grey above the paragraph.

Yellow = Brand Signal Only

Highlights, icons, decorative lines, logomarks. Stage and discovery palettes carry programming variety. They do not define the brand.

Oscar's Bar

The purple accent flags content that belongs to the upstairs bar: cocktails, members, after-hours programming.

Editorial Aside

Aqua is used for editorial asides and footnotes inside long-form journal posts and archive entries.

Hard Rule

Never use Soho Yellow as a page background. Never centre body copy. Never introduce horizontal rules.

09 / Highlights

Inline Colour, Used Sparingly

The night begins with a yellow signal, widens into the main room, and opens again upstairs in Oscar's Bar. The kitchen runs until midnight, the last set lands around 23:45, and the door closes when the room says so.

10 / Icons

Line, Monochrome, Consistent

Stroke icons at 1.5px. Never filled. Hover reveals white. Use at 24px or 32px only.
