Why Colour Matters

Colour isn’t just visual – it communicates your brand’s personality, creates emotional impact, and ensures consistency across all mediums. The right colours make your brand memorable.

Understanding Colour Systems

  • RGB (Red, Green, Blue): For screens and digital displays. Not suitable for print.

  • CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black): Standard for printing. Ensures accurate reproduction.

  • Pantone (PMS): A universal colour matching system. Guarantees colour consistency across printers and materials.

Colour Psychology in Branding

  • 🔴 Red: Energy, passion, urgency

  • 🔵 Blue: Trust, stability, professionalism

  • 🟢 Green: Growth, freshness, eco-friendly

  • 🟡 Yellow: Optimism, creativity, attention

  • ⚫ Black: Luxury, authority, elegance

  • ⚪ White: Simplicity, purity, modernity
