Headings: most multi-word headings should use the blue colour option. Optionally, some design items will use a combination of grey as the first word, and a secondary colour for the second word. The orange and green colour options should not be used as headings on their own.

Website and design highlight colours, such as hyperlinks and background boxes, will use the orange or blue colour options.

IMAGE RECOMMENDATIONSImages will play an important role in creating awareness and connection to the brand emotionally. Brand photos should capture the colourful environment with good lighting, bright colours and highlights matching brand colours when possible. Speaking to the target markets and placing the viewer in the image, these photos should include people.

Short depth of field can be used to assist in this feeling. These images should be captured moments rather than static or posed shots and preference is placed in images with people actively participating in activities where expressions are “in the moment” and not posed when possible.
