Summary

Updates the primary teal color from #1fbeca to #00B2A9 across all MkDocs skin files to match the official PANTONE 7466 U specification from the original 2012 logo design.

Changes

  • common/skin.css - Shared by all product manuals
  • wolfSSH/src/skin.css - English documentation
  • wolfSSH/src-ja/skin.css - Japanese documentation

All instances of #1fbeca replaced with #00B2A9 (8-11 occurrences per file).

Brand Color Documentation

Added header comments to all skin files documenting:

  • PANTONE 7466 U (Uncoated stock)
  • CMYK: 70/0/23/0 (from 2012 logo file metadata)
  • sRGB: #00B2A9
  • Note about the previous incorrect value

Background

The incorrect #1fbeca color has been used across wolfSSL web properties for years. The official Pantone spec was discovered in wolfssl-logo-2012.eps file metadata (created December 14, 2012 by designer Laura).

Color comparison:

  • Old (incorrect): #1fbeca - RGB(31, 190, 202) - too cyan/blue
  • New (correct): #00B2A9 - RGB(0, 178, 169) - proper teal, matches Pantone 7466 U

Related Changes

  • Blog (posts.wolfssl.com): Already updated with wide-gamut display support
  • Marketing site: TBD
  • API docs (Doxygen): TBD

Testing

Visual regression testing recommended:

  • Build all manuals locally with make all
  • Verify teal accent colors appear consistent
  • Check navigation links, hover states, icons

Draft Status

Marked as draft to coordinate timing with:

  1. docs.wolfssl.com deployment (PR Add GitHub Pages deployment for docs.wolfssl.com #267)
  2. Other brand consistency updates
  3. Marketing approval if needed

Ready to merge once docs site goes live.

Updates primary teal from #1fbeca to #00B2A9 (Pantone 7466 U) across
all MkDocs skin files. This matches the official color specified in the
original 2012 logo design (CMYK 70/0/23/0).

The previous #1fbeca was close but not brand-accurate. Adds documentation
comments to all skin.css files explaining the Pantone specification.

Files updated:
- common/skin.css (shared by all manuals)
- wolfSSH/src/skin.css (English)
- wolfSSH/src-ja/skin.css (Japanese)

Coordinates with blog color fix (posts.wolfssl.com).
