Five ways to use the Colour of the Year in your marketing

This year’s dependable versatile shade lends itself so well to print and digital marketing. Here are our top five ideas for using the 2020 Colour of the Year.

  1. Feature the shade in images, either as a colour overlay or with photographs, illustrations, textures and patterns that naturally bring the shade to life.
  2. Digitally splash the colour on titles, backgrounds, icons, call-to-action-buttons and navigation bars.
  3. In print use the shade as an accent colour for textboxes, headlines and flashes.
  4. For balance, bring together warm and cool shades with a palette of contrasting and complementary shades.
  5. For business cards that draw on the cultural zeitgeist use the Colour of the Year as a font and block colour on the reverse.
