Colors are an integral part of The Siemon Company brand. Consistent use of the color pallet will not only reinforce the cohesiveness of the brand, but color also serves a psychological purpose by communicating a certain feeling to your audience. The Siemon Red color swatch has been a mainstay in the Siemon brand for many years and is a primary identifying factor along with the Siemon Logo. Even though red is the main identifying color, we do not want to overwhelm our branding color scheme with too much red. The brand color scheme should consist of mostly white and gray, with red and black accents. Dark Gray backgrounds with white text and red and white accents is an acceptable secondary color scheme where the primary scheme doesn’t fit.
Primary Color Pallet
There are 5 main colors in the Siemon Company Pallet; White, Black, Light Gray, Dark Gray and Siemon Red. These colors are used to reinforce the branding scheme of the company and create a cohesive overall look and feel to all aspects of the company.
These colors are used to provide accents and used to support primary color pallet distinguish categories and spec sheets and emphasis. If product doesn’t fall in these categories the default accent color is Siemon red.
