You see more bright and neon colours popping up everywhere. Colours you thought you would never think to see in certain industries, for example . . .

So, what should you consider when choosing a colour? If you know me well, I don’t put much weight into colour definitions. If a dictionary changed the definition of words as often as different colour charts do, would you have much faith in them?
I believe you should focus your energy towards identifying unique colours to cut out a segment in your own industry. We go through a process of mapping a range of brands and competitors throughout your sector, then identify the colours that are not yet taken advantage of. This will give you the ability to uniquely position your brand unlike any other.
The one rule we always adhere to is to use your colour sparingly. As you will see with the examples we have shared, the colour you select should be used to highlight important content such as headings, iconography or Calls To Action (CTA).
