Branding and colours

Everything an entrant sees from you is drawn from a small palette: four colours plus a corner style. Set it on the Branding page and the entry page, the event page, the participant portal, your embedded widgets and your emails all follow.

The palette

Corners are Sharp, Soft or Pill. The live preview beside the form shows a sketch of the participant portal as you change things, so you can see the combination before you save.

The cascade

Colours flow down: organisation → series → event → widget. Each level can override any subset of the colours above it and leave the rest to inherit.

• The organisation's Branding page is the top of the cascade and seeds every new series and event.
• A series has a Brand tab with the same palette editor, and can start from your logo, from a website address or from an AI suggestion. It also shows which of its events inherit and which override.
• An event can swap just one colour (the marathon keeps the series primary but takes a red accent).
• A single embedded widget can override colours from the design builder's theme bar, for a countdown that has to sit on a dark corner of your site.

Wherever a value is inherited, the editor shows a "From organisation" or "From series" chip, and a Reset puts an override back to inheriting.

Logo and emails

Upload your logo on the Branding page; it appears at the top of the entry page, the portal and emails. The Emails tab holds an optional banner image and your sign-off line, with a live render of a sample email. Send me a test email sends that sample to your own address so you can check it in a real inbox before an entrant sees it.
