Colour

The colours of Pathways for Progress function as blocks of solid colours that are placed against each other as different elements that still form a whole together. Putting together and layering things that are already strong on their own. Using one of the colours as a solid colour makes a super strong statement. The colours are colourful, and these colours are vivid and take their space. Lilac is a colour for all genders, it is a universal colour that lends itself to exploring masculinity and femininity. The orange tone also does not have a specific gender association, an energetic, positive tone that brings light. The orange-red represents power and change. The base of the colours of social progress is a dark universal blue colour. The colours represent the levelling of society to create more equality.
