All Dawn products are manufactured in the United States of America, and raw materials are sourced through American Companies.
Dawn's corporate color is Navy Blue, typically set on a white backdrop. The Dawn flag, Dawn corporate literature/signage, and Dawn company vehicles/trailers all carry this color scheme.
