Hi all,
the correct German term for "profile color" is "Hausfarbe". I just found it in some online glossaries (www.werbelexikon.de, and www.marketing-lexikon-online.de) and verified it by doing a Google search for "Hausfarbe". I'm giving the high score to Jan, because I think Firmenfarbe or CI-Farbe can be used as well.
Thanks to all of you,
Monika
