4 Christmas colours for your promotional material
1. Traditional colours – Red & cream/white
Red and cream work with branding material at Christmas time because they are traditional, warm and instantly recognisable. These are great colours for businesses which operate in the hospitality industry (like food or hotels) as these colours will evoke a sense of warmth and reliability. The use of white space in the below advert is also very useful as readability is very important in all marketing material, but particularly at Christmas when details are imperative.
