The Importance of a Brand Palette

Are you familiar with brand palettes? A brand palette consists of the colors (typically 3-5) that a brand uses for their logo, as well as for marketing materials, like a website or print advertisements. A brand palette helps establish whether that brand is serious or whimsical, upscale or affordable, simple or high-tech, for kids or for adults. This article does an outstanding job talking about the importance of color choice in logos. 

I recently discovered brandpalettes.com/ and thought it would be fun to take a single category and look at the different brand palettes of seven major companies. Each of the brand palettes below are for well-known soft drinks. Can you identify them?

Here are the answers:

A. A&W Root Beer

B. Dr. Pepper

C. Sunkist

D. Pepsi

E. Fanta

F. Sprite

G. Mountain Dew

How many did you get correct? Were some easier than others? Do you have a favorite palette? I think it's fascinating that some palettes look more refreshing and appeal to me than more others and they match up pretty well with my preferred sodas.
