KX colour palette Colour is a valuable asset for the KX brand identity. It helps us gain recognition and builds familiarity through strong, confident and consistent use of colour.
Primary Colour KX Black and white have been selected for their simplicity and efficiency. Accent Colour These colour should be used more sparingly throughout our brand.
Ensure you use the correct hex or RGB values for all digital applications. Only use the CMYK or Pantone values for print. It is important to note that white space is also a key element to our identity.
IMPORTANT COLOUR NOTE As you will see on the next page – the KX black is made up of the CMYK breakdown used by Pantone Black 6. It is a rich black – that has softer hues than 100%K. Wherever possible please use the 4 colour black but we do allow the single colour black to be used in Office based applications. Secondary Colour KX Blue is the colour we turn to when we need to pick out a detail in another colour. 015
