Designing your wardrobe, your home or your personal brand marketing around your birth month colour palette opens up a rainbow of possibilities! Consistently used across your marketing channels, your colors can help build brand recognition that helps you stand out from your competitors.  Why not apply the shades of February to your new logo, stationery and brochures? Reflect the real YOU! There is a season, a sun sign, a ruling planet, an element - and a color for every birthday...

Inspiring and imaginative, this colour invokes the qualities of humanity and kindness.

Color of the Month: CARAMEL  PANTONE  16-1439

Logical and sure-footed, this is a color of substance and determination. After the exuberance of December, we are met with the practical and down-to-earth month of January. The earth tones in Caramel help us feel stable and responsible. This colour encourages us to ground our earthly ambitions through discipline and persistence.

CARAMEL can be used by anyone to attain goals. 

It’s essence is similar to that of the earth, which sustains and supports the growth of flowers and trees. It grounds your energy and enables you to stay focused on your objectives. Caramel helps increase patience, tenacity and endurance - call on this colour for any endeavour requiring discipline and self control.
