Classic
Classic color combinations are indic-
ative of strength and authority. Intense
royal blue is the centerpiece of any classic
grouping of colors. It stands out, even
when combined with other hues.
Classic combinations imply truth,
responsibility, and trust. Because of
its proximity to green, royal blue evokes
continuity, stability, and strength, in
combination with its split complement
red-orange and yellow-orange.
