Sub-section opener on applying colors, pairing a sparse white text page with a black page showing two overlapping rounded squares marked with question marks.
Summary
An "applying colors" sub-section intro: a near-empty white text page next to a black page with two overlapping rounded squares, each carrying a question mark to tee up the pairing rules ahead.
Visual description
Two-page 16:9 spread. The white left page has the "03 BRAND COLORS" eyebrow, a two-line headline "USAGE" (blurple) over "APPLYING" and "COLORS" (near-black), and a single short line noting that some colors pair better than others. The black right page is mostly negative space holding two large rounded squares that overlap: one filled white with a black question mark, the other an outlined square with a white question mark. The composition is deliberately sparse. The far-left blurple stripe carries the rotated caption and page 29.
Key takeaway
Using overlapping rounded squares with question marks as a quiet visual hook that previews the color-pairing system on the following pages. Letting a sub-section opener breathe with mostly empty space before the dense pairing grids.
Reuse notes
A light transitional page that signals a shift into the "how to combine colors" part of the section. The overlapping-square motif recurs on the pairing and scheme pages, so it sets up a visual through-line. Reuse when you want a soft divider rather than a full chapter break.
