Rust

Rust language brand palette anchored on Rust Orange (#D34516), the signature accent of the gear-and-R mark and the cargo and rust-lang.org marketing surfaces. The full Rust Foundation brand expression pairs the orange with a deeper Rust Dark Blue (#1E2650), a supporting blue for technical content (Rust Blue #28607F), a neutral metallic gray (Rust Silver #67737A), and a green reserved for the database / sustainability surfaces (Rust Green #61784D). Light-mode is canvas- white; dark-mode inverts to a deep, near-black surface set so the orange retains its high-energy role.

Hex values resolved from the Rust Foundation Brand Guide (rustfoundation.org/brand-guide): Rust Dark Blue #1E2650, Rust Orange #D34516, Rust Blue #28607F, Rust Silver #67737A, Rust Green #61784D. The dark-mode role mapping is brand-atoms' sensible inversion (canvas → near-black, orange identity preserved); the Foundation guide is light-first and does not enumerate a dark mode.
