PRIMER · AI READ ME FIRST

If you read nothing else, follow the ten rules to the right. They are sufficient for ~90% of Parcion visual output. Refer to the linked sections for any case the rules don't cover.

# Parcion Private Wealth — condensed rules

01. Surface bias is BLACK (#0B0B0B), not navy. Never use #00141C
    as a page background. Navy is data-viz only.                    → §04 Color
02. Gold (#B99A38) is an accent only. Never H1, never a
    headline color, never a fill.                                   → §04 Color
03. Type: Brother 1816 (display), Palatino Linotype (body),
    Aptos (tables/data). H1 is ALL CAPS, 32–44px, never serif.
    MS files (Word/PPT/Outlook): swap Brother 1816 for
    Century Gothic — same ALL-CAPS rules, same sizes, same hierarchy.
    Body and data fonts unchanged. → §05 Type
04. Default hero, NON-financial topics  →  default_hero_general
    Default hero, FINANCIAL topics      →  default_hero_financial   → §02 Imagery
05. Logo: primary lockup on most surfaces. Switch to alternate
    (no descriptor) when the placement is under 80px tall.          → §01 Logos
06. Voice: clear, confident, warm, precise. No em dashes.
    Oxford commas. Active voice. Short sentences.                   → §03 Voice
07. Forbidden words: "leverage" (verb), "holistic," "quarterback,"
    "synergy," "best-in-class," "HNWIs," "heirs," "solutions."      → §03 Voice
08. Charts: gold for ONE emphasis series only. Secondary palette
    for the rest. No 3D, shadows, gradients, truncated y-axes.      → §06 Tables
09. For copy-paste output templates                                 → §09 Recipes
10. For URLs in machine-readable form                               → §10 Manifest

# Full pasteable AI brief lives at §08. When in doubt: black

Global Brand Guide

The Parcion brand, in one place.

Clarity creates confidence. This guide governs how Parcion looks and sounds across every channel: web, email, document, deck, advertising, and AI-assisted content. Pair the HTML reference with the standalone stylesheet so any colleague can drop the brand onto a page.

01 — Logos

Marks, lockups, and downloads.

The Parcion icon is always rendered in Parcion Gold (#B99A38). The full lockup pairs the icon with the wordmark and the descriptor "PRIVATE WEALTH." Use the lockup in most applications; reserve the icon-only and wordmark-only treatments for genuine sizing constraints. Click any file below to download.

Primary lockup

Parcion reversed logo on dark

Reversed (for dark backgrounds)

Icon + wordmark + "PRIVATE WEALTH" descriptor. White type with gold icon.

SVG PNG
Parcion primary logo on light

Primary (for light backgrounds)

Icon + wordmark + "PRIVATE WEALTH" descriptor. Black type with gold icon.

SVG PNG

Alternate lockup (no descriptor)

Use sparingly. Reserved for tight spaces like website headers, footers, and small-format placements where "PRIVATE WEALTH" would be illegible or cut off.

Parcion alternate reversed logo on dark

Alternate, reversed

Icon + "PARCION" wordmark only. For dark backgrounds where "PRIVATE WEALTH" would be illegible or cut off.

SVG PNG
Parcion alternate primary logo on light

Alternate, primary

Icon + "PARCION" wordmark only. For light backgrounds where "PRIVATE WEALTH" would be illegible or cut off.

SVG PNG

Icon only

Use sparingly. Reserved for social avatars, favicons, app icons, and secondary brand patterns where the full lockup cannot sit comfortably. Always rendered in Parcion Gold.

Rules

Use

  • The primary lockup in most applications
  • The icon in Parcion Gold (#B99A38), always
  • The reversed lockup on Off-Black or other approved dark surfaces
  • Adequate clear space: at least the height of the icon on every side
  • SVG wherever possible. PNG when SVG is not supported (Office, Slack, social, ad platforms). Export PNG at 2-3× the largest display size.

Avoid

  • Recoloring the icon. Gold only.
  • Stretching, rotating, or applying drop shadows to any mark
  • Placing the lockup on busy photography without a tonal panel behind it
  • Using the wordmark alone where the icon would also fit comfortably
  • JPG versions of any logo file. JPG can't hold a clean transparent background.

Developer note: Hatched links above are placeholders. Drop the files into the same folder as this guide using the exact filenames shown in the tooltip (e.g. parcion-primary.svg), and each download will start working without further edits.

02 — Imagery

Approved Parcion photography.

A working library of brand-approved images. Editorial restraint: think film photography, natural light, lived-in luxury. Black and white for people; Kodak Portra-inspired color for environments. No generic stock. No hyper-saturated processing. One strong image, used well, beats three competing visuals.

Default hero images

Two hero defaults govern most outputs. Use these unless there's a defensible reason to pick another. All other images below are options the AI or layout designer may reach for when the default doesn't fit.

Default hero for non-financial content

Default · Non-financial hero

Use for: brand, About, Approach, Team, Signature Event, philanthropy, lifestyle, recruiting, general marketing. Manifest key: default_hero_general.

View full
Default hero for financial content

Default · Financial hero

Use for: market commentary, Parcion Perspectives, investment strategy, portfolio reporting, tax planning, business sale, ESOP, M&A, performance pieces. Manifest key: default_hero_financial.

Portraits & people

Black-and-white, Ilford Delta tonal feel. Used for team, clients, and human moments. Often paired with dark backgrounds. Portraits are one-off commissions per person, sourced from the team page on parcionpw.com or directly from the Parcion photo library; not download-managed from this guide.

Color & editorial

Kodak Portra-inspired tonal range. Used for lifestyle, environment, and editorial moments. Best on dark surfaces with a soft gradient transition between image and background.

Banners & landscapes

Landscape format for LinkedIn banners and full-width web heroes. Aspirational scenery, nature, open road, depth. Always pair with a dark gradient overlay on the side where the logo will sit.

Rules

Use

  • Photography that looks like a real photographer shot it with intention
  • Natural light, soft focus, honest expression
  • Lived-in environments with depth and tone
  • Black-and-white for people, color on dark surfaces for environments
  • One strong photo per layout. Restraint reads as quality.

Avoid

  • Generic corporate stock, anything that looks like a "wealth management" image search
  • Overprocessed, hyper-saturated, or stylized treatments
  • AI-generated photography or composites
  • Stiff, posed, performative subjects
  • Images you wouldn't want to see printed and framed

Sourcing stock outside the library

If the approved Parcion library doesn't have what you need, unsplash.com is the approved fallback for editorial-quality stock. Always check with Marketing before publishing anything sourced this way. Do not use Getty, Shutterstock, or generic corporate libraries.

To populate this section: Send a URL (Vercel, Sanity, Cloudflare, any public CDN) and a one-line description for each image. I'll wire each one into the appropriate category card.

03 — Voice

Clear. Confident. Human.

Parcion sounds like a trusted advisor who has seen this before, knows exactly what to do, and is completely focused on you. Calm, confident, and deeply knowledgeable.

Four tonal qualities

Clear. Not simple, but never needlessly complex. Every sentence earns its place.

Confident. Not arrogant, not hedged. "We recommend," not "we think."

Warm. Human, not corporate. "Families," not "high-net-worth individuals."

Precise. No wasted words, no vague claims. Specificity builds credibility.

Use

  • "Families" over "clients" when possible
  • "Business owners" or "entrepreneurs"
  • "Wealth event" or "liquidity event"
  • "Leading up to, through, and after"
  • "Unlock the true potential"
  • "Advocate," "coordinated," "private family office"

Avoid

  • Em dashes. Always.
  • "Quarterback," "holistic," "synergy," "leverage" (as a verb)
  • "Best-in-class," "world-class," "robust"
  • "HNWIs," "heirs," "solutions," "transaction" (alone)
  • Exclamation points in client-facing or thought leadership copy
  • Italics for emphasis or decoration. Italic is reserved for direct quotations and titles of works only.

Voice in practice

Off-brand

Hope this email finds you well! I wanted to touch base on our holistic wealth management solutions and how we can leverage your upcoming liquidity event.

On-brand

As your business sale approaches, I wanted to make sure we have the right plan in place for the proceeds. There are a few decisions in the next 90 days that will have a meaningful impact on your tax situation, and I'd like to walk you through them before anything is finalized.

Off-brand

Parcion Private Wealth offers a full suite of best-in-class wealth management solutions for high-net-worth individuals and their families.

On-brand

Parcion works exclusively with business owners and their families, guiding them leading up to, through, and after the sale of their business. We help them keep more of what they've built, take care of the people they love, and figure out what comes next.

04 — Color

Black-led palette, gold sparingly.

Parcion's dominant surface is black, not navy. Off-Black (#0B0B0B) is the brand's anchor color across web, deck, and print. Gold is a small, deliberate accent: eyebrows, rules, key data points, and the icon. White space carries the weight.

Primary palette

Neutrals first, then the three values of gold. All values are official Parcion brand colors. The surface bias is black, not navy; navy lives in the secondary palette below.

Off-Black

#0B0B0B — Primary surface

Pure Black

#000000 — Logo, type

Carbon

#161616 — Inset panels

Charcoal

#2D2D2C — Body on light

Off-White

#F7F7F7 — Primary light

Light Gray

#D6D6D6 — Dividers

Parcion Gold

#B99A38 — Accent only

Gold Dark

#8D762E — Accent on light

Gold Deeper

#6C5A23 — Shadow, depth

Color rules

Use

  • Off-Black (#0B0B0B) as the dominant dark surface across web, document, and deck
  • Off-White (#F7F7F7) as the dominant light surface
  • Gold for eyebrows, hairline accents, key data points, and the icon
  • Gold on Black, never gold on Off-White at large size (use Gold Dark on light)

Avoid

  • Navy (#00141C) as a primary surface. It reads as indigo on most screens. Reserved for data visualization only.
  • Gold as a heading color or fill. Gold is an accent, never a background or H1.
  • Introducing colors outside the palette into brand materials
  • Gradient backgrounds. Gradients are for tonal photo blending only.

Secondary palette (data visualization only)

These colors exist exclusively for charts, graphs, and financial tables that require multiple colors to separate meaning. They are not for backgrounds, headings, or decorative use. Grouped here by family the way the brand book presents them. Navy lives here because the brand book preserves it; reserve it for chart contexts only.

05 — Typography

Three faces. Calm hierarchy.

Brother 1816 for headings, Palatino Linotype for body, Aptos for tables and data. Century Gothic substitutes for Brother 1816 in Microsoft environments. The scale is intentionally restrained: H1 sits between 32px and 44px, matched to parcionpw.com. Gold is never used as heading text.

On dark

Unlock your wealth's potential

Headings on dark surfaces remain white. Gold is reserved for the eyebrow above and for small accent moments inside the layout. H1 padding stays generous below, restrained above.

Rules

Use

  • Brother 1816 (Book or Bold) for all display type; Century Gothic in Microsoft files
  • H1 in ALL CAPS, white on dark or off-black on light, 32–44px responsive
  • Generous tracking on H1 and H2 (0.06em–0.18em)
  • Palatino Linotype Regular for body copy at 16px, line-height 1.6
  • Aptos for tables, charts, data labels, and legal callouts
  • Small caps, bold, or a rephrase whenever you would otherwise reach for italic
  • Italic only for direct quotations and titles of works (books, films, publications, vessels)

Avoid

  • Gold as H1 text. The brand reads black-and-white with a gold thread, not the other way around.
  • H1 sizes above 44px on web. Larger sizes belong to print covers, not body pages.
  • Italics for emphasis anywhere. Italic is reserved for direct quotations and titles of works only.
  • Center alignment for long-form body copy
  • Mixing more than two weights inside a single page
  • Hyphenation in layout copy

06 — Tables & Data

Editorial, analytical, never decorative.

Tables read at 15px (one step up from prior templates) for comfortable on-screen and printed reading. Headers sit on Parcion Gold with black type. Rows alternate white and #F2F2F2. Numbers tabulate.

Beneficiary Age Share Amount Distribution method & notes
Child 1, Eldest
Married, operating own business
32 16.67% $10,000,000 Outright distribution at age 32 with optional trust overlay for asset protection.

Family Foundation
Donor-advised structure
— 50.00% $30,000,000 Donor-advised fund funded at closing for ongoing philanthropic strategy.

Use

  • Aptos for all table type, headers in bold
  • Gold header, black type on gold
  • Alternating row colors: white / #F2F2F2
  • Right-aligned numbers with tabular-nums
  • One row per record. Notes belong in their own column.

Avoid

  • Vertical rules between columns. Rely on whitespace.
  • Bold inside body cells unless calling out a total
  • Color-coded rows for status. Use a small label cell instead.
  • More than five columns on screen at body width

Sample charts

Charts use the secondary palette for differentiation. Gold (#B99A38) is reserved for the line, bar, or segment that carries the point. Neutral tones do the rest of the work. Axis labels in Aptos, light gray, secondary to the data itself.

Chart rules

  • Secondary palette for series: forest, steel, burgundy, slate, sage. Gold for emphasis only.
  • Aptos for all chart type, neutral gray for axes and units
  • Bias legends toward the bottom or right, never floating over data
  • One idea per chart. If you need two, make two charts.
  • Always label the takeaway in the chart title, not just the topic

Avoid

  • Gold as a baseline or background data color
  • 3D effects, drop shadows, glows, or gradients in chart fills
  • Pie/donut charts with more than five segments
  • Default Excel or PowerPoint chart styles
  • Truncated y-axes that exaggerate a small change

07 — Components

Buttons, rules, pull quotes.

Buttons

Primary on light is Off-Black with white text. Hover swaps to gold. Ghost variant carries an Off-Black outline. Buttons never use gold as the default fill.

Rules



A neutral hairline for content separation, and a gold hairline reserved for moments of brand emphasis.

Pull quote

A liquidity event is more than a transaction. It is a transition.

Pillar 03

Clarity creates confidence

Clients who can see their numbers, visualize their future, and trust their plan make better decisions and face the transition with less fear. Parcion's job is to produce that clarity.

The bottom line for any AI tool.

This file is designed to be uploaded into Claude Projects, ChatGPT custom GPTs, Copilot, Gemini, or pasted into a single prompt. The block below is the condensed brief. Everything in this document is authoritative for visual production. When the AI is unsure, it should default to the rules in this section.

SYSTEM BRIEF — Parcion Private Wealth visual production
=======================================================

ROLE
You are producing branded visual output for Parcion Private Wealth,
a private family office serving business owners and their families.

surfaces, gold used sparingly as an accent, Brother 1816 headings,
restrained padding, no decoration.

- Accent on light bg:     #8D762E  (Gold Dark)
- Gold deeper:            #6C5A23  (shadow, depth)
- NEVER use #00141C as a primary background. Navy is reserved for
  data visualization only.

DATA-VIZ SECONDARY PALETTE (charts/graphs only, never page background)
- Burgundy Dark:  #6A2E35    Burgundy:        #8E3E48    Burgundy Mid:  #AA4B56
- Rust Dark:      #AE3009    Rust:            #C2350A    Rust Bright:   #D53A0B
- Warm Gold Lt:   #C3A446    Warm Gold:       #CDB365    Warm Gold Pl:  #D7C284
- Forest Dark:    #48614A    Forest:          #446459    Sage:          #8DB999

- Slate:          #7F88A6    Navy Deep:       #00141C  (data only)

TYPE — EXTERNAL / WEB (default)
- Display:  Brother 1816.
- Body:     Palatino Linotype.
- UI/data:  Aptos.
- H1 — Brother 1816, Book, 40pt, ALL CAPS, generous tracking
- H2 — Brother 1816, Book, 24pt, ALL CAPS, same tracking as H1
- H3 — Brother 1816, Bold, 18pt, Mixed-Case
- H4 — Brother 1816, Book, 14pt, Mixed-Case
- Body — Palatino Linotype, Regular, 12–14pt
- Paragraph callout — Palatino Linotype, Bold, 14pt
- Functional / table body — Aptos, Regular or Medium, 12pt
- Legal callout — Aptos Narrow, 12pt, ALL CAPS
- Table headers / chart legends — Aptos, Bold

TYPE — MICROSOFT OFFICE (REQUIRED SWAP)
If the deliverable is a Microsoft Office file — Word (.docx),
PowerPoint (.pptx), Outlook email, Teams, or any other MS surface
— substitute Brother 1816 with Century Gothic on every heading.
This is not just a font swap; it carries the same structural rules:
- H1 — Century Gothic, Regular, 40pt, ALL CAPS
- H2 — Century Gothic, Regular, 24pt, ALL CAPS
- H3 — Century Gothic, Bold, 18pt, Mixed-Case
- H4 — Century Gothic, Bold, 14pt, ALL CAPS
- Body — Palatino Linotype (unchanged)
- Functional / table / data — Aptos (unchanged)
DO NOT substitute another sans-serif (Arial, Calibri, Helvetica)
for Century Gothic in internal materials. Brother 1816 is not
reliably installed on MS systems and falls back to a default font
that breaks the brand. Apply the swap to every heading level
before export.
- H1: ALL CAPS, clamp(32px, 3.2vw, 44px), letter-spacing 0.06em.
  White on dark, off-black on light. NEVER gold. NEVER serif.
- H2: ALL CAPS, 22px, letter-spacing 0.18em.
- H3: Mixed case, 17px, weight 600.
- Body: 16px / line-height 1.6.
- Tables: 15px Aptos. Gold header, black text on header.
- Pull quotes: ALL CAPS, Brother 1816, gold left rule.
- Italics: reserved for direct quotations and titles of works only. Never for emphasis. Never decorative. Never in headings.

VOICE (rules)
- Clear, confident, warm, precise.
- Never use em dashes. Use commas, colons, or short breaks.
- Always Oxford comma. Active voice. Short declarative sentences.
- No exclamation points in client-facing or thought-leadership copy.
- Italics: direct quotations and titles of works only. Never for emphasis. Never decorative. Never in headings.
- Open with the reader's situation, not the firm's credentials.
- "We" is fine; don't start three sentences in a row with it.

- "select group of families"              (conveys exclusivity without arrogance)

VOCABULARY — AVOID (with replacements)

- "seamless"                → overused; remove
- "synergy" / "synergistic" → corporate jargon; remove

- "best-in-class"           → hyperbolic; remove
- "world-class"             → use only in direct quotes from approved materials

- "high-net-worth individuals" / "HNWIs" → "business owners," "families"
- "solutions"               → describe what Parcion actually does

- "heirs"                   → "children," "next generation," "family members"
- "assets"                  → "wealth," "what they've built," or specific terms

GRAMMAR / MECHANICS
- Always Oxford comma. Never em dashes.
- Numbers vs. words: use numerals for statistics and data ("60+
  wealth events," "$3 billion"). Use words for small numbers in
  sentence context ("two goals," "three stages").
- Capitalize "Parcion" and "Parcion Private Wealth" exactly.
- "Signature Event" is capitalized. "What's Next?" includes the
  question mark.

LOGO RULES
- Default: full primary lockup (icon + wordmark + "PRIVATE WEALTH").
- On dark backgrounds: reversed lockup.
- Headers, footers, anywhere small or cramped: alternate lockup
  (icon + wordmark only, no descriptor).
- Icon (gold diamond mark): use sparingly — avatars, favicons, app
  icons. Always Parcion Gold (#B99A38). Never recolored.
- Clear space: at least the height of the icon on every side.

LAYOUT DEFAULTS
- Generous white space. Restraint reads as quality.
- Hero padding: 96–120px top, 120–144px bottom.
- Section padding: 96px top and bottom.
- Max content width: 1180px. Gutter: clamp(20px, 4vw, 56px).
- Card-style: 1px solid hairline, no shadows, no gradients.
- Hairline rules at 1px, in hairline gray or sparingly in gold.

CHART RULES
- Series colors from the secondary palette. Gold for emphasis only.
- Axis labels in Aptos, neutral gray, secondary to the data.
- Legends bias toward bottom or right. Never over the data field.
- One idea per chart. Title states the takeaway, not the topic.
- No 3D, drop shadows, glows, gradients, or truncated y-axes.

WHEN IN DOUBT
- Default to client-facing voice.
- Default to black-and-white with a thin gold thread.
- Default to fewer words.
- Default to the layout patterns in the "Recipes" section.

ASSETS
- All logo and image URLs are in the "Asset Manifest" section.
- Use those exact URLs when embedding imagery or logos.
- For decision logic ("which logo? which surface? gold or not?"),
  see the "Decision Rules" section.

IMAGE DEFAULTS (use these unless you have a defensible reason to pick another)
- Hero, non-financial topic   →  manifest.imagery.default_hero_general
    https://cdn.sanity.io/images/3phttdbo/production/
    01548b6a067a3fee4c7a1c9c42ca391074b9f44c-5760x3600.jpg

- Banner / LinkedIn header    →  manifest.imagery.banners (any of the three)
- Anything else               →  pick from manifest.imagery.editorial_options

09 — Recipes

Copy-paste templates for the most common outputs.

When an AI is asked to "make a one-pager," "write a hero," or "build a LinkedIn slide," these are the working structures it should adapt. All recipes assume the brand stylesheet (parcion-brand.css) is loaded; tokens are provided inline as fallbacks. Do not invent new layouts when one of these will fit.

Recipe 01 — Hero block (dark, image background)

Use for: landing pages, microsite opens, email headers, top of a one-pager. The image is muted under a layered gradient so the headline stays readable.

<section style="
  position: relative;
  background:
    linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(11,11,11,0.78) 0%,
      rgba(11,11,11,0.62) 60%, rgba(11,11,11,0.88) 100%),
    url('IMAGE_URL') center/cover no-repeat, #0B0B0B;
  color: #F7F7F7;
  padding: 120px 56px 144px;
">
  <p class="eyebrow">EYEBROW LABEL</p>
  <h1>Your headline, all caps, restrained.</h1>
  <p class="lede" style="max-width: 60ch; color: #D6D6D6;">
    Lede paragraph. Open with the reader's situation, not
    Parcion's credentials.
  </p>
</section>

Recipe 02 — Two-column section (eyebrow + headline + body)

Use for: any standard section on a light surface. The default content block.

<section style="padding: 96px 0; background: #F7F7F7;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #E5E5E5;">
  <div style="max-width: 1180px; margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 0 clamp(20px, 4vw, 56px);">
    <p class="eyebrow">SECTION LABEL</p>
    <h2>Section headline in all caps.</h2>
    <div style="display: grid;
      grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; gap: 48px;
      margin-top: 32px;">
      <div><p>Left column copy.</p></div>
      <div><p>Right column copy.</p></div>
    </div>
  </div>
</section>

Recipe 03 — Stat / fact block

Use for: firm facts, key data points, executive summary numbers. Three or four at most per row.

<div style="display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr); gap: 32px;
  border-top: 1px solid #2A2A2A;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #2A2A2A;
  padding: 28px 0;">
  <div>
    <p style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;
      letter-spacing: 0.22em; text-transform: uppercase;
      color: #B99A38; margin: 0 0 8px;">LABEL</p>
    <p style="font-family: 'Brother 1816', 'Century Gothic',
      sans-serif; font-size: 34px; font-weight: 500;
      color: inherit; margin: 0; line-height: 1;">$3B</p>
    <p style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', serif;
      font-size: 13px; color: #9A9A9A; margin: 8px 0 0;">
      Short context line.</p>
  </div>
  <!-- repeat for each stat -->
</div>

Recipe 04 — Pull quote

Use for: callouts, executive statements, the one line that has to land. ALL CAPS, gold left rule.

<blockquote style="
  margin: 24px 0;
  padding: 24px 24px 24px 40px;
  border-left: 2px solid #B99A38;
  font-family: 'Brother 1816', 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;
  font-size: 22px;
  line-height: 1.35;
  letter-spacing: 0.06em;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  color: #0B0B0B;
">
  Clarity creates confidence.
</blockquote>

Recipe 05 — Editorial table

Use for: financial tables, beneficiary breakdowns, fee schedules, comparison grids. Aptos, gold header, alternating rows.

<table style="width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;
  font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;
  color: #0B0B0B; border: 1px solid #E5E5E5;">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th style="background: #B99A38; color: #0B0B0B;
        font-weight: 700; font-size: 12px;
        letter-spacing: 0.14em; text-transform: uppercase;
        text-align: left; padding: 14px 18px;
        border-bottom: 1px solid #8D762E;">Column</th>
      <!-- more headers -->
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr><td style="padding: 14px 18px;
      border-bottom: 1px solid #E5E5E5;">Cell</td></tr>
    <tr style="background: #F2F2F2;"><td style="padding:
      14px 18px; border-bottom: 1px solid #E5E5E5;">Cell</td></tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Recipe 06 — LinkedIn carousel slide (1080 × 1350)

Use for: a single slide in a LinkedIn carousel or standalone post. Dark, full-bleed, one strong line of type.

<div style="
  width: 1080px; height: 1350px;
  background: #0B0B0B; color: #F7F7F7;
  padding: 80px;
  display: flex; flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: space-between;
">
  <!-- Top: logo (use alternate reversed lockup, ~60px tall) -->
  <img src="LOGO_ALT_REVERSED_URL" style="height: 60px;
    width: auto;">

  <!-- Middle: the line that has to land -->
  <h1 style="font-family: 'Brother 1816', 'Century Gothic',
    sans-serif; font-size: 64px; line-height: 1.05;
    letter-spacing: 0.04em; text-transform: uppercase;
    color: #F7F7F7; margin: 0; max-width: 18ch;">

    letter-spacing: 0.22em; text-transform: uppercase;
    color: #B99A38; margin: 0;">PARCIONPW.COM</p>
</div>

Recipe 07 — Email-safe header (HTML email)

Use for: marketing emails, event invitations, whitepaper distribution. Table-based for Outlook compatibility.

<table role="presentation" width="600" cellpadding="0"
  cellspacing="0" style="background: #0B0B0B; color: #F7F7F7;
  font-family: Aptos, Arial, sans-serif; width: 600px;">

10 — Asset Manifest

Every URL, in one place.

A single machine-readable lookup. When the AI needs to embed a logo or photograph, it should pull from this list rather than reconstructing URLs from elsewhere in the file. Public CDN, no auth required.

11 — Decision Rules

If this, then that.

Explicit decision logic the AI should follow when picking between options. Read top to bottom; the first matching rule wins.

If Then
The output has a backgroundDefault to Off-Black (#0B0B0B). Never use Navy (#00141C) for surfaces.
The output needs a hero image and the topic is NOT financialUse default_hero_general. Brand, About, Approach, Team, Signature Event, philanthropy, lifestyle, recruiting, general marketing all fall here.
The output needs a hero image and the topic IS financialUse default_hero_financial. Market commentary, Parcion Perspectives, investment strategy, portfolio reporting, tax planning, business sale, ESOP, M&A, performance pieces all fall here.
The default hero doesn't fit the specific piecePick from editorial_options only if a defensible reason exists. Otherwise stay with the default. Banners (LinkedIn header, web rotator) pull from banners, not editorial.
The output has a logo and the surface is darkUse primary_lockup_dark. If the placement is under 80px tall, use alternate_lockup_dark instead.
The output has a logo and the surface is lightUse primary_lockup_light. If the placement is under 80px tall, use alternate_lockup_light instead.
The placement is a favicon, avatar, or app iconUse the icon only. Gold (#B99A38) on Black (#000000).
You need an H1 colorWhite (#F7F7F7) on dark surfaces, Off-Black (#0B0B0B) on light. Never gold. Never serif.
You're adding emphasis to a headingUse weight or position, not gold. Gold belongs on the eyebrow, the rule, or one chart series.
You need to set type for body copyPalatino Linotype, 16px, line-height 1.6. On dark, color is #D6D6D6, not pure white.
The output is a Microsoft Office file (Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams)Replace Brother 1816 with Century Gothic on every heading. Palatino Linotype (body) and Aptos (data) stay unchanged. Required, not optional.
You're building a chart with one key insightUse gold (#B99A38) on that single series. Everything else uses the secondary palette.
You're building a chart with no single emphasisSkip gold entirely. Use Forest, Steel, Slate, Burgundy, Sage in that priority order.
You need an italicized wordUse italic only for a direct quotation or the title of a work (book, film, publication, vessel). For emphasis, use small caps, bold, or a rephrase. Never italic in headings.
You'd reach for an em dashReplace with a comma, a colon, or two short sentences.
You need a stock photograph not in the librarySource from Unsplash and add a note that Marketing should review before publication.
You need a portrait of a Parcion team memberPull from parcionpw.com/team. Do not generate or composite portraits.
You'd use "clients," "HNWIs," or "heirs"Replace with "families," "business owners," or "the next generation."
You'd use "quarterback," "holistic," "leverage" (verb), or "synergy"Replace with "coordinate," "comprehensive," "use," or remove entirely.
You'd open with "Hope this finds you well"Open with the reader's situation instead.
The output references investment performanceInclude the standard disclosure: "Past performance is not indicative of future results." Flag for compliance review.

12 — For Developers

Drop the stylesheet onto any page.

Colleagues building landing pages, microsites, internal tools, or HTML emails can link the Parcion brand stylesheet to inherit the tokens, type system, and base components. The CSS file is independent of this guide.

Install

<link rel="stylesheet" href="parcion-brand.css">

Use the tokens

.my-hero {
  background: var(--pp-off-black);
  color: var(--pp-off-white);
  padding: var(--pp-space-2xl) 0;
}
.my-hero h1 { color: var(--pp-off-white); }   /* never gold */
.my-hero .eyebrow { color: var(--pp-gold); }  /* gold here is fine */

Use the components

<p class="eyebrow">Client Exclusive Events</p>
<h1>Signature Event</h1>
<a href="/rsvp" class="pp-btn">Request invitation</a>

<div class="pp-table-wrap">
  <table class="pp-table">...</table>
</div>

<blockquote class="pp-pullquote">
  Clarity creates confidence.
</blockquote>

Interactive HTML standards

Any HTML deliverable built off this brand, including presentations, internal microsites, briefings, or long-form reports, must support the three behaviors below. They are not optional.

Behavior Specification
Fullscreen toggle A visible control in the page's fixed nav or floating control bar that calls requestFullscreen() and exitFullscreen(). Keyboard shortcut F. Icon-only is fine; label the button with a title attribute for accessibility.
Arrow-key navigation For paginated deliverables (decks, multi-page briefings), ArrowDown, ArrowRight, PageDown, and Space advance. ArrowUp, ArrowLeft, and PageUp retreat. Scroll smoothly to the next or previous section. Disable when focus is inside a form field.
Download as PDF A visible control in the same nav or control bar that triggers window.print() against a print stylesheet. Default orientation by document type: presentations and dashboards default to landscape, long-form documents and reports default to portrait. Always expose an override (a small toggle, a second button, or a one-click prompt) so the user can flip it before printing.

All three controls sit inside the standard Parcion control surface: gold fill, Aptos label at 12px with 0.22em tracking, gold-dark on hover. Do not invent a separate visual treatment for these controls. They behave like any other Parcion UI button.

Reference snippet

Paste these three blocks into any Parcion HTML deliverable to satisfy the standards above. The order of the PDF buttons declares the default: list landscape first for decks and dashboards, portrait first for documents and reports. Either button works regardless of order; ordering is the visual cue to the reader about what the document expects.

1 · HTML — place before </body>

<div class="control-bar">
  <button class="ctrl-btn ctrl-btn-icon" title="Fullscreen (F)" onclick="toggleFullscreen()">⛶</button>
  <button class="ctrl-btn" onclick="downloadPDF('landscape')">PDF · Landscape</button>
  <button class="ctrl-btn" onclick="downloadPDF('portrait')">PDF · Portrait</button>
</div>

2 · CSS — add to your stylesheet

.control-bar {
  position: fixed; bottom: 24px; right: 24px;
  display: flex; gap: 8px; z-index: 200;
}
.ctrl-btn {
  font-family: var(--pp-font-ui);
  font-size: 12px; font-weight: 600;
  letter-spacing: 0.22em; text-transform: uppercase;
  padding: 12px 16px;
  background: var(--pp-gold); color: var(--pp-off-black);
  border: none; cursor: pointer;
  transition: background 120ms ease;
}
.ctrl-btn:hover { background: var(--pp-gold-dark); }
.ctrl-btn-icon { padding: 14px; }

@media print {
  .control-bar, .nav-bar { display: none !important; }
  * {
    -webkit-print-color-adjust: exact !important;
    print-color-adjust: exact !important;
  }
}

3 · JavaScript — place before </body>

<script>
// Fullscreen toggle (button + F key)
function toggleFullscreen() {
  if (!document.fullscreenElement) {
    document.documentElement.requestFullscreen().catch(() => {});
  } else {
    document.exitFullscreen();
  }
}

// PDF download with orientation override
function downloadPDF(orientation) {
  const existing = document.getElementById('pp-print-orientation');
  if (existing) existing.remove();
  const style = document.createElement('style');
  style.id = 'pp-print-orientation';
  const size = orientation === 'portrait'
    ? '8.5in 11in portrait'
    : '11in 8.5in landscape';
  style.textContent = '@page { size: ' + size + '; margin: 0; }';
  document.head.appendChild(style);
  window.print();
}

// Arrow-key navigation across .slide or .section blocks
(function() {
  const sections = Array.from(
    document.querySelectorAll('.slide, .section')
  );
  if (!sections.length) return;
  let current = 0;
  function goTo(i) {
    if (i < 0 || i >= sections.length) return;
    current = i;
    sections[current].scrollIntoView({
      behavior: 'smooth', block: 'start'
    });
  }
  function updateCurrent() {
    const mid = window.innerHeight / 2;
    sections.forEach((s, i) => {
      const r = s.getBoundingClientRect();
      if (r.top <= mid && r.bottom > mid) current = i;
    });
  }
  window.addEventListener('scroll', updateCurrent, { passive: true });
  document.addEventListener('keydown', function(e) {
    if (e.target.tagName === 'INPUT' || e.target.tagName === 'TEXTAREA') return;
    if (['ArrowDown','ArrowRight','PageDown',' '].includes(e.key)) {
      e.preventDefault(); updateCurrent(); goTo(current + 1);
    } else if (['ArrowUp','ArrowLeft','PageUp'].includes(e.key)) {
      e.preventDefault(); updateCurrent(); goTo(current - 1);
    } else if (e.key === 'f' || e.key === 'F') {
      toggleFullscreen();
    }
  });
})();
</script>
