F1 thick and thin lines colour

Summary

A colour-rules page for the line device, laying out six large rounded cards in three columns (White lines, Black lines, 50% Black lines), each column pairing a dark and a light ground to show approved combinations.

Visual description

Warm off-white background, thin top rule with the "Visual Identity / Graphic Devices" kicker, "Thick and thin lines" title, outlined "Colour" subtitle and "136" at right. A short left column notes the lines are used in black, white or a 50% tint. The body is a three-column grid of paired rounded cards, each column headed "White lines", "Black lines" or "50% Black lines". Every card repeats the same specimen: a heavy "THICK LINE" label with a thick rule curling into a rounded corner, plus a "Thin line" label on a hairline. The top row uses one ground (black, white, or dark) and the bottom row inverts it (50% grey or white), each captioned with the exact pairing ("Black background. White text.", "White background. Black text.", "50% Black background. White text.", and so on).

Key takeaway

Documenting every approved color combination of one element as a tidy paired-card grid, where each card states its exact background-and-text pairing. Repeating the identical specimen across all cards isolates color as the only variable.

Reuse notes

A reusable layout for the "approved colorways" page of any brand element, logo, or component. The paired light/dark rows make contrast rules obvious. Keep the specimen identical across cards so the comparison stays clean. Quiet and systematic; suited to a brand book.
