Our colour schemes have been developed to create<br />
impact, not confusion. Everyone should always be able<br />
to read what we write and see what we make. But with<br />
so much choice available, it’s easy to get side-tracked.<br />
With that in mind, always make sure that you ask yourself<br />
these questions before deciding on an execution. Is it on<br />
brand? Is there enough contrast between the colours for<br />
it to be legible? Are the dominant colours of the piece<br />
from the primary palette?
