The Henkel Adhesive technologies palette is always supported by these pastels.

Below is a guiding diagram for the general color balance in the visual expression.
Background color distribution through pages
Primarily white and light pastels. Red and substantial colors in harmony with digital brand, pleasant vertical rhytm down through the content.
Too much red, too little white or light pastels, neighbouring modules with same background color creates a heavy, unbalanced look.
Use modules in color variations, that have visible contrast. Pairing darker substantial colors with lighter shades makes the contrast more visible.
Examples:
While building pages, don’t use modules in color combinations, that have too similar shade next to each other.
Instead, try to divide them with a module in a lighter background.
