Original CredaBiz editorial cover, created specifically for this article.

Quick answer

Choose colours that remain usable on documents, packaging and screens. Test readability and reproduction before committing to a palette that looks attractive only in a mockup.

A practical checklist

  • Check text against every proposed background.

  • Test a monochrome version.

  • Review sample stationery and mobile graphics.

An example to work through

A pale yellow wordmark may work on blue but disappear on white. A practical brand guide explains which combinations the team should use.

Your next step

Turn the checklist into a short brief for the person doing the work. Agree the scope, responsibilities, deliverables and review process before committing to a package.

Discuss branding with CredaBiz. Share your current situation and the outcome you need so the team can confirm the appropriate support and current quote.
