Color has tremendous impact on a design’s attitude towards its
content and audience. A coordinated color scheme uses hues and
values that work well together towards a certain mood. A color
scheme is a starting point: Colors proven to work together. The
next step is to use them in a design. Normally, color schemes
contain a three to five hues and values. These sets are based on
variations. Each includes four “brand” colors based on shadow,
midtone and highlights of five coordinated “scheme“ colors. Each
brand color is further divided into eight shades. This allows
for great variation within a design while maintaining the
overall lool & feel. Download a .png file to sample colors in
most graphics applications. Download a .psd (Photoshop) or .ase
(Adobe Exchange) file for use in Adobe products.
