Colour & Style Guide

Strong, radiant, full of energy, Caliente is total confidence. It's the signature colour of a modern architectural masterpiece; a lush carpet rolled out for a grand arrival; the assured backdrop for a book-lined library; a powerful first impression on a glossy front door. The eye can't help but follow its bold strokes. Harness the vitality. � Ellen O'Neill
