Use of colour
A white background defines all areas.
There are no rigid guidelines for determining selection of colours - selection should be governed by the needs of the context and communication requirement.
Our brand colours can enable us to identify subjects and qualifications in digital communications, although subjects don’t have their own specific colours.
