Primary colours specification

Summary

The core colour specification page: F1 Warm Red, Carbon Black, Off-White and High-Vis White presented as large coloured swatch cards, each carrying Pantone, CMYK, HEX, RGB and (for red) RAL exterior values.

Visual description

Warm off-white background with the standard header: "Visual Identity / Colour" top-left, bold "Primary colours" headline, page 60, hairline rule curving to a rounded top-right corner. A left sidebar lists each colour with a one-line rationale ("F1 Warm Red - Represents the heat, power and passion of Formula 1", and so on). The body is an asymmetric bento of swatch cards: a tall red "F1 WARM RED" card on the left split into PRINT / SCREEN / EXTERIOR rows of values; a dark "F1 CARBON BLACK" card top-right with a stepped tint strip (90/70/50/30%) and matching hex tints; and two smaller bordered cards below, "F1 OFF-WHITE" and "F1 HIGH-VIS WHITE", each with print and screen specs. Colour names are set in large all-caps inside the cards; the values use a precise mono-feel sans in neat label/value pairs.

Key takeaway

Treating each colour as a full card sized to its importance (warm red largest, the whites smallest) so the palette hierarchy is legible at a glance. Splitting every colour into PRINT / SCREEN / EXTERIOR rows with Pantone, CMYK, HEX, RGB and RAL covers every reproduction context in one tidy block.

Reuse notes

A reference-grade colour-system page for any brand guide. The card-as-swatch approach plus exhaustive value rows is directly reusable; the stepped tint strip on the black card is a neat way to define a greyscale hierarchy. Dense but stays readable thanks to consistent label/value alignment.
