Guidance

HEX is the value provided for digital applications along with Pantone® and CMYK values for print and RAL colors for painted surfaces.   

Colour system

The foundation for the Finnair brand colour system is built on inheritability. The master palette is simplistic, containing colours that are linked to our legacy. Subpalettes are based on the parent palette, but they are expanded to meet the requirements of specific use case.

Colour usage

To achieve the right feeling and tone, the balance and proportion of colours should always be carefully considered. Negative/white space is vital for creating the modern and airy feel of the Finnair brand.

Digital colour palette

The new palette can be divided into brand and functional use. Brand colours make the design recognisable and functional colours are being used to guide the user. In practice this means that 99% of the colours are brand colours and 1% are functional colours for guiding users in cases such as errors or success notifications.

Digital colour usage

The use of colour in digital touch points aims to create a modern feel, while remaining highly functional. Please avoid using the complimentary digital tones unnecessarily instead of the main brand palette. The use of the functional colour palette is strictly restricted for UI functions (e.g. errors and warnings).

When designing for digital service environments, it is also important to follow accessibility guidelines by checking colour use for sufficient contrast and making sure the colours are distinguishable by users with colour blindness.
