    Unique Graphic Colour Codes 

    How can graphic design offer a solution to those who are color blind? Graphic Colour Codes developed by Color Add has come out with a solution for this after lots of research. Although you may not have a need for this now, you never know if it will come in handy some day!

    The system proposed is based on the pigment color, using as basis the primary colors:
    BLUE (cyan), RED (magenta), YELLOW

    The code is “built” starting from three simple forms to:

    Allow an easy and immediate apprehension of the graphic element;
    Quick integration on the “visual vocabulary”;
    Easy to be applied/produced in small dimensions

    It becomes a mental game which will allow the individual to simply connect the colors and its subsequent division into different colors with
    no memorizing effort, through mixing simple forms combined with the elementary chromatic combinations.

    To each primary code form is associated a color and of the three forms/colors appears and develops the whole code, in as much as the colors are based on the division of these three elements.

    Two additional forms were added representing black and white, in conjunction with the other elements they represent lighter or darker tons of the colors.

    Graphic Elements:

    Each primary color of the code is associated to three forms which represent red, yellow and blue, from these three that the code is developed.
    The secondary colors can be formed using the basic forms as if “mixing” the primary pigments themselves making their perception and subsequently the composition of a color pallet easy.

    Lighter and Darker variations:

    By associating the icons representing white and black to define darker and lighter tones to the three basic forms and their additions, a wide palette is constructed.
    Conventional color designations were attributed to the additions and other combinations of colors, especially those used in apparel.

    Lighter and darker hues

    Grey Tone:

    Grey, a tone of “color” used frequently in articles of clothing, was divided into two tonalities.

    Special Colors:
    Considering the logic of the code construction, these colors are represented by the combination of the golden-yellow and the element representing shine to define gold; light grey combined with the same element identifies silver.
