Brand Settings

Brand Settings is where you define your organisation's visual identity within Nimbu. From the login screen to the student learning portal, these controls let you apply your logo, colours, and backgrounds consistently across the platform to create a professional, cohesive experience that reflects your RTO's brand.

These settings define the overarching aesthetic applied across all staff and student interfaces.

Primary Colour: Enter a hex code to set the main accent colour used for active buttons, links, and navigation highlights.
