CHIVAS MASTERBRAND: COLOUR application examples Print executions

INTRODUCTION
Before you start

The balance of colours for Chivas masterbrand is crucial. A look and feel for this balance is illustrated below. It is important that on the permitted background colours of Chivas Silver, black, white or a combination of black and silver that there is always an expression of Chivas Gold and Chivas Amber.

CHIVAS BRAND FAMILY

Overview

Materials and nishes executions

The same discipline regarding the balance of colour applies when expressing the Chivas masterbrand in materials and nishes. However, the percentage of Chivas Gold and Chivas Amber can be increased. This increase is because the colours will tend to be wrapped around a 3-Dimensional object or seen in an environment rather than on a printed 2-Dimensional plane. When producing a range of masterbrand items, no more than 70% of items should be black. If producing merchandise, individual pieces can use up to 80% black, as long as the other elements in the range balance the presence of black and incorporate other masterbrand colours. <80%
