New York Taxi Colour Palette
New York City distilled into five colours: the unmistakable yellow of a Manhattan taxi, the brownstone warmth of Brooklyn, steam vent grey rising from the subway grates, fire escape black, and the cool blue of a clear sky between skyscrapers. This is the city that never sleeps, as a colour palette. For urban brands, media companies, real estate, food delivery, and anything that wants to feel like it belongs in the five boroughs.

Usage guidance
Taxi Yellow is the star, the colour that says New York before anything else. Use it for primary buttons, headers, and hero sections. Brownstone adds warmth for secondary elements, cards, and borders. Steam Vent grey works for supporting text, dividers, and subtle backgrounds. Fire Escape black handles your body text and strong borders. Gallery White provides a clean, slightly warm background. The yellow should pop against the neutrals. That contrast is the whole energy of the city.
