TikTok

TikTok corporate brand palette. TikTok's identity is a chromatic three-color composition: a black canvas as ground, with the signature TikTok Red (#FE2C55) and TikTok Cyan (#25F4EE) offset to create the iconic chromatic-aberration effect on the music- note "d" mark and wordmark. The brand is dark-first: the consumer app, the wordmark, and most marketing surfaces all live on solid black with red and cyan reading as a paired chromatic accent.

Notes
TikTok's mark uses a deliberate chromatic-aberration effect: the music-note "d" is composed of overlapping red and cyan layers offset against a white core, producing a glitch-art signature. This atom catalogues the chromatic-anchor swatches; the offset-and-overlay treatment lives in the brand.yaml rules.
