Brand & Visual Identity — Parallel Spectrum

This document is the single source of truth for colors, diagrams, and slide styling across the GPU + ML Expert Tutor curriculum. AI agents should load the .cursor/skills/parallel-programming-brand/ skill when authoring visual material.

Design intent

Principle Meaning
Throughput cyan (#0891B2) Parallel lanes, data movement, Track A
Compute indigo (#6366F1) Deep analysis, profiling, Track B
Systems amber (#F59E0B) Tradeoffs, production design, Track C
Fabric magenta (#DB2777) The wire below the ML layer, Track D
Slate foundation (#0F172A / #F8FAFC) Readable docs and slides for long study sessions

Vendor colors (AMD red, NVIDIA green) appear only as small labels — never as the primary brand.
