10 Inspiring Red Websites
At Union Room, we’re always on the lookout for websites that use colours in interesting and consistent ways. The creative use of colour can take a website from a flat, lifeless set of graphics to an exciting and engaging piece of digital media.
We asked the guys over at brand communications agency Projector, what they thought of the role of colour in design. “Like a logo and font the colours used by a company within their branding form a significant part of any visual identity system. By having a consistent core colour palette it aids recognition and supports the brand values set – in a visual way at least.
