Intel Corporation is the silicon company behind the Core, Xeon, and Arc lines and the modern Intel Foundry business. The 2020 brand refresh replaced Intel's long-running "swoosh" identity with a flat, geometric wordmark in Intel Classic Blue (#0068B5), paired with a bright Intel Energy Blue (#00C7FD) for highlights and active states. The voice on intel.com is technical and enterprise-leaning; the visual treatment is light-first with a near-white canvas, carbon greys for surfaces and text, and the two blues carrying primary action and accent roles.

Intel's 2020 brand refresh moved the company off its long-standing navy "Intel Blue" onto a paired-blue system: Intel Classic Blue (#0068B5) as the primary identity blue used on the logo and CTAs, with Intel Energy Blue (#00C7FD) as the bright accent for highlights and active states. The supporting palette declared on the live site is a tight neutral ramp from near-white (#F7F7F7) through carbon greys to a dark canvas (#262626), with deeper navy variants (#004A86, #0046C8, #000F28) reserved for hover / pressed states and for high-emphasis hero surfaces.

colorChoice → roles.colors.markThe 2020 wordmark fills with Intel Classic Blue (#0068B5) on light surfaces, or with monochrome black-on-light / white-on-dark when a one-color treatment is required. Energy Blue is the accent — used as a highlight color alongside the mark, never as the mark fill itself.
forbiddenTreatment → logoThe Intel mark is a fixed-proportion geometric wordmark. Recoloring (e.g., filling with Energy Blue or with a carbon grey), skewing, gradient-filling, drop-shadowing, or placing the mark on a busy photo conflicts with the restrained 2020 identity as it appears on intel.com.
contrastRatio → text-primarybackground4.5WCAG-AACarbon 800 (#262626) on white (#FFFFFF) measures ~14:1 — clears WCAG AA at the body-text floor of 4.5:1 with meaningful headroom. The enterprise reading posture on intel.com justifies the AA target as a hard floor.
contrastRatio → roles.colors.primarybackground4.5WCAG-AAClassic Blue (#0068B5) on white measures ~5.6:1 — clears WCAG AA for body text, important because intel.com uses Classic Blue for inline links inside paragraph text where the 4.5:1 body-text floor (not the 3:1 large-text floor) applies.
colorChoice → roles.colors.primaryThe identity-primary role is filled by Classic Blue (default) or Energy Blue (on dark surfaces, where Classic Blue loses contrast). The deeper saturated blues (#0046C8, #000F28) are hero-canvas colors, not action colors — using them as the primary affordance breaks the established 2020 hierarchy.
accessibilityRequirement → *WCAG-AA1.4.3WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast Minimum) — Level AA. The carbon-on-white text pairings and Classic Blue links all clear AA at the body-text floor. AA is the appropriate target for an enterprise marketing surface with mixed-density information.
contextRestriction → roles.colors.accentEnergy Blue (#00C7FD) is the bright accent introduced in the 2020 refresh. It functions at highlight and active- state scales but falls below the AA body-text contrast floor on the white canvas (~2.1:1) and must not be used for running text.
fontPairing → typography.displayprose1.3Intel's marketing surfaces use Intel One Body Text (proprietary) for both display and body, distinguished by size and weight rather than two families. Maintain at least a 1.3× ratio between display and prose to preserve hierarchy when one family carries both roles.

Every block below renders from the resolved palette + font references on this brand. Swap the brand and the same template re-themes — no per-brand component code required.
Body copy renders in the brand's prose font on the brand's background.
Inline links and highlighted phrases pick up
the brand's primary and highlight roles. Code spans like brand.references.palette
fall back to the monospace face.
A blockquote uses the brand's accent color as its rule. Useful for pulling tagline copy out of running prose.
Neutral status — provides supplemental context without urgency. Uses the brand's primary as the rule.
Confirms a completed action — palette role success determines the rule color.
Calls out something that needs attention but isn't an error — palette role warning.
Surfaces a failure that blocks progress — palette role error. Use sparingly.

Brand-level role overrides on top of palette-default mappings. Each role resolves to a concrete swatch or font reference.
