Brand Style Guide

A living reference of the real, live design tokens used across dieselpowertruckcenter.com — extracted directly from the theme’s CSS and rendered pages, not guessed. Use this page as the baseline for every new page, section, or component built on this site going forward.

Researched: July 2026 Theme: diesel-power-truckcenter (bespoke) Maintained by: Carolina Connect
01 — Color

Color Palette

One accent color, everything else grayscale. #ce152d appears 104× across the theme’s compiled CSS — by far the dominant token. Do not introduce a second accent hue on new pages.

Brand Red #ce152d Buttons, ribbon headings, links, active states, bullet dots — the single accent color
Black #000000 Hero photo backdrop, job-posting / About-Us dark hero bands
Panel Gray #f2f2f2 Alternating section backgrounds, trust-badge strip
Mid Gray #8b8b8b Secondary / muted copy
Panel Gray 2 #f5f5f5 Secondary background variant
Dark Gray #6a6a6a Body copy on select blocks
Border Gray #cacaca Input borders, hairline dividers
White #ffffff Base background, button/hero text
⚠ Not a brand color #21759b Leftover Underscores.me starter-theme link color. Vestige only — never use intentionally.
⚠ Not a brand color rgba(233,30,99,x) Appears only in .button--reverse:hover box-shadow — looks like an unswapped Material Design default. Prefer red-tinted shadows instead.
02 — Type

Typography

Two self-hosted families, no Google Fonts CDN. Headings default to italic everywhere — this is deliberate, not a mistake, and applies to every h1h6 site-wide.

Heading / VoxRoundWide 600 italic — 50px Truck Repair
Section ribbon / 38–49px Roadside Assistance
H2 / 34px Truck Shop
H3 / 27.2px Service Area
H4 / 22.4px Low Prices

Body copy runs on Barlow, 16px / 1.3, regular weight — the plain-text counterpart to VoxRoundWide’s italic display voice. Bulleted lists inside content sections stay italic and use a small red-dot bullet instead of a default marker:

  • Remanufactured parts
  • OEM parts
  • Aftermarket parts
03 — Signature Device

The Red Ribbon

The closest thing this site has to a logo-level signature shape: a red rectangle, rounded only on its trailing edge, skewed into a diagonal “cut flag.” It precedes every major section heading, site-wide.

Truck and Trailer Repair

Real recipe from .content-section__title::before: red rectangle, border-radius:0 15px 15px 0, transform:skewX(165deg). Reuse this exact shape for any new section heading — don’t invent a new ribbon angle or radius.

04 — Buttons

Buttons

Pill-shaped, symmetric 10px radius (not the ribbon’s asymmetric cut). Two variants, almost always paired: solid for the primary action, ghost for the secondary.

Standard pairing — solid + ghost side by side
Small variant — 32px height, tighter contexts (job listings, forms)
05 — Cards & Trust Badges

Trust-Badge Strip

4-column icon + italic title + short line, used on the homepage and About Us. Real icons from the live media library, referenced directly (not re-uploaded).

Low prices icon Low Prices

Rates start from $115/per hour.

ASE certified icon ASE Certified Mechanics

All techs are ASE certified with 2+ years experience.

Large inventory icon Large Inventory

Over $1,000,000 in parts for every make and model.

90 day warranty icon 90 Days Warranty

On all parts and services performed at any location.

06 — Hero Variants

Header Photo Band

Every hero photo renders at 65% opacity over a black backdrop — moody by default, regardless of source exposure. What changes between page types is whether an H1 overlay is set.

Careers

Home / Careers — H1 set
Careers, Contact, Partners, job postings: white uppercase italic H1 overlay
Home / Truck repair — no H1, breadcrumb only
~80 SEO service pages: no overlay text — the red ribbon inside the content does the job instead
07 — Imagery

Real Photography

Authentic shop-floor and facility photography throughout — no stock photos observed anywhere on the site. Keep sourcing real photos of real work for new pages.

08 — Careers & Job Postings

Careers Pattern
