Secondary Colors

When choosing colors for advertisements and publications it is important that the palette compliment the official colors. Please choose colors that rich in value and saturation. Primary and secondary color hues are the obvious choice. Jewel tones and greyscale palettes will also work. Please stay away from pastels and pale and muted colors.
