• a first node including:
• a reception module to:
• receive a selection of a first color for a first branding color scheme and a second color for a second branding color scheme, the first color and the second color associated with a set of permanently unchangeable, uncolored icons with respective transparent portions, an uncolored icon being an object that is rendered as black and white or in gray scale, the first branding color scheme and the second branding color scheme being part of a set of branded versions associated with a branding file for a tenant;
• store, in the branding file, components comprising:
• the first color and a first plurality of complementary colors for the first branding color scheme, the first plurality of complementary colors being automatically selected based on the first color;
• and
• the second color and a second plurality of complementary colors for the second branding color scheme, the second plurality of complementary colors being automatically selected based on the second color;
• and
• receive an authenticated access request for access to a network portal from a member identified as a member of a group corresponding to the branding file and the first branding color scheme in the branding file;
• and
• a processing module to:
• access the branding file prior to receiving the authenticated access request,
• generate, responsive to receiving the authenticated access request, a branded version of a graphical user interface using the first color branding scheme based on the group of the member, the branded version of the graphical user interface having the first color as a background color, the first plurality of complementary colors, a display structure, and the set of uncolored icons;
• and
• publish the branded version of the graphical user interface;
• and
• a second node associated with the console owner, the second node including a network interface to:
• transmit the access request to the first node;
• and
• receive publication of the branded version of the graphical user interface to grant access to the network portal, the branded version of the graphical user interface to display:
• the background color as a background;
• the first plurality of complementary colors;
• and
• the uncolored icons in front of the background, so that the background is visible through transparent portions of the uncolored icons.

A processor-implemented method to execute on one or more processors that perform the method, comprising:

• storing, in the branding file, components comprising:
• the first color and a first plurality of complementary colors for the first branding color scheme, the first plurality of complementary colors being automatically selected based on the first color;
• and
• the second color and a second plurality of complementary colors for the second branding color scheme, the second plurality of complementary colors being automatically selected based on the second color;
• receiving, from a node an authenticated access request for access to a network portal, hosted by a server, from a member identified as a member of a group corresponding to the branding file and the first branding color scheme in the branding file;
• accessing the branding file associated prior to receiving the authenticated access request;
• generating, responsive to receiving the authenticated access request, a branded version of a graphical user interface using the first color branding scheme based on the group of the member, the branded version of the graphical user interface having the first color as a background color, the first plurality of complementary colors, a display structure, and the set of uncolored icons;
• and
• publishing the branded version of the graphical user interface to the node to grant access to the network portal, the branded version of the graphical user interface to display:
• the background color as a background;
• the first plurality of complementary colors;
• and
• the uncolored icons in front of the background, so that the background is visible through transparent portions of the uncolored icons.

A processor-implemented method to execute on one or more processors that perform the method, comprising:

• publishing a non-branded version of a graphical user interface to a display to grant access to a network portal;
• receiving, from a node associated with a console owner and the display, a customizing request to customize the non-branded version of the graphical user interface;
• receiving, from the node, a selection of a first color for a first branding color scheme and a second color for a second branding color scheme, the first color and the second color associated with a set of permanently unchangeable, uncolored icons with respective transparent portions, an uncolored icon being an object that is rendered as black and white or in gray scale, the first branding color scheme and the second branding color scheme being part of a set of branded versions associated with a branding file for a tenant;
• storing, in the branding file, components comprising:
• the first color and a first plurality of complementary colors for the first branding color scheme, the first plurality of complementary colors being automatically selected based on the first color;
• and
• the second color and a second plurality of complementary colors for the second branding color scheme, the second plurality of complementary colors being automatically selected based on the second color;
• and
• publishing a branded version of the graphical user interface to the display to grant access to the network portal, the branded version generated by applying the first branded color scheme, selected based on a identified group of a member using the node, to the non-branded version, including the first color as a background, the first plurality of complementary colors, a display structure, and the set of uncolored icons in front of the background so that the background is visible through transparent portions of the uncolored icons.
