4.09 Color Palette: Color Stock
As white space is a key element in our brand expression, the selection
of white stock for letterhead and other DM components is an important
consideration. DR marketers have extensive fl exibility to select white
stocks with budgeting and printing processes in mind.
At times, direct marketers may wish to create a diff erent tone or
impression when developing elegant invitation style creative executions.
In these instances, marketers may use a variety of weight and textured
stocks within the range of white stock. Selection of off -white and other
color-toned stocks (e.g., pastels) is discouraged and white stock should
be used as the default for printed communications.
In-Market Testing
In select test markets where color toned stock has potential to infl uence
the impression of the communication, the use of cream-toned or silver/
grey toned stock is appropriate in small test quantities where results of
the isolated variable can be compared.
Preferred stock color. Cream color letter stocks are discouraged. Color-toned stocks are discouraged.
