Cohere

Cohere's brand palette as captured from the live marketing site (cohere.com). The brand's optical signature is a tropical three-stop gradient — coral (#FF7759) → mauve (#7670C5) → cobalt (#4C6EE6) — that travels across product surfaces and the CohereColor display face. Surrounding the gradient is a calibrated neutral system: a near-white "Paper" canvas in light mode and a near-black "Ink" canvas in dark mode (Command product surfaces use the dark Ink ground as their primary canvas). Secondary accent colors — a magenta-violet, a deep-jade, a navy, and an ember-red — appear in editorial and data-viz contexts but the coral-mauve-cobalt gradient is the dominant brand cue.

Notes
Derived from live site CSS at https://cohere.com/ on 2026-05-18; no public brand guide located. The marketing homepage uses a near-white Paper canvas (#FAFAFA), but Command product surfaces, the docs reader, and the brand's hero modules use the dark Ink canvas (#17171C) — the brand atom treats dark as the primary mode per encyclopedia convention for AI-lab identities. The proprietary brand display face CohereVariable (and the CohereColor / CohereText / CohereMono family) is declared on cohere.com via @font-face but is not publicly distributed; space-grotesk@1 is the published fallback referenced on the live site. This atom substitutes space-grotesk@1 for the sans roles and geist-mono@1 for the mono role.
