Backstory of our name

The Colors We Use
The sea and our aboriginal ancestors
The SEVENmile color palette:
Orange Ochre* is the accent color, meant to be used in secondary titles, Calls to Action, buttons on websites or apps.
Sea Green is the main color of SEVENmile and should be used in titles, highlights, backgrounds. Sea green is the color of our Pacific Ocean.
Kai’ymay were the Aboriginal clan of Manly Cove. Their art consisted of various paint colors like yellow (representing the sun), brown (the soil), ochre (desert sand) and white (the clouds and the sky). These are traditional Aboriginal colors and were used by Kai’ymay for thousands of years prior to 1788 when Captain Phillip and the First Fleet arrived in Manly Cove.
