Summary

A color-rule page for illustrations: the same factory line drawing repeats across four approved background colors in a 2x2 grid, with the line color held constant.

Visual description

Light-grey slide. Top-left a "Color options" heading and a paragraph noting these are the approved backgrounds plus Bravida Light Blue 50, and that the line color should always be Bravida Blue. The right two-thirds is a 2x2 grid of equal panels, each showing the identical illustration of a small factory with a chimney and a cloud of smoke drawn in Bravida-blue line work. The four panel backgrounds are white, mint green, pale blue, and a muted terracotta. The line color stays the same darker blue in every panel. A hairline footer runs along the bottom.

Key takeaway

Proving a recolouring rule by holding the artwork and line color fixed while only the background swatch changes across a grid. One sample drawing, four panels, and the rule is unambiguous.

Reuse notes

A clear template for the "approved backgrounds" or recolour page of any illustration or icon system. The repeat-one-asset-across-swatches grid removes guesswork for downstream designers. Reuse for showing logo-on-background or icon-on-background permutations too.
