Division colors

Seven colors are named in the 2025 style guide, with a HEX for each. Executive Nonprofit Search, Executive Retained Search, Technology, and IT & Engineering are not given a separate color in that guide. The Colors page also prints RGB values that do not match these HEX values, so those RGB numbers are not shown.
