We use a 20% tint as a background colour to separate web page/document sections. It can also be used for headers on a white background. BMJ Group Dark Grey (#333333) is predominantly used for text across both print and digital applications. However, BMJ Group Grey can also be used as a background on PowerPoint slides, set at a 20% tint (#e3e4e4).
