If you are deciding on a colour combination for your brand book, ensure that the colour palette includes shades that are contrasting. A strong palette includes a balanced mix of light, medium and dark tones, regardless of whether it is a monochromatic, analogous or complementary colour scheme. Make adjustments to your palette and use an array of light and dark tones that not only add contrast but also give you more versatility when you implement your brand into your website, packaging and collateral items.
Love sporting shockingly bright polish on your nails? You might be surprised to learn that neon nail polish is actually illegal in the US.

All nail polish colourants have to be registered with the FDA before production, but no one has ever submitted neon colours.

Colour Tips For August 2020
The artwork on your home walls is one of the most defining characteristics in your design style. If you are thinking of getting your home walls painted, draw inspiration from the art you have or plan to have in the house. Use a contrasting shade to help the artwork stand out. For example, if the most prominent colour in the artwork is red, you can choose green for the wall as a complementary colour; a deep moss green or pale gray-green will balance the brightness of the art and make it statement-worthy. The trick lies in opting for complementary or analogous paint colours instead of monotone colours so that the artwork does not disappear against the wall.
