Visibility
Visibility is about the clarity of the colour scheme. Outstanding visibility is very important in visual communication planning for packaging and advertising.
On the one hand it depends on the strikingness of the colours themselves and on the other hand on the contrast between them.
The principles and methods are described in detail in advertising planning and can be used for colour planning in packaging and decoration.
Accent colours
Accent colours are the main points of the total colour palette and are the colours that are considered in combination with area elements and visual recognition. Generally, it requires a higher degree of brightness and unity than the surrounding colours, and a smaller area than the surrounding colours, otherwise it will not play an important role.
Distance colours
The use of distance colour refers to the use of another colour in the centre of different colours that are in close proximity to each other and are in sharp contrast, such as distance or for common use, which can enhance harmony and weaken contrast.
The distance colour itself is neutral black, white, grey, gold and silver. If a coloured distance is chosen, the distance colour is required to be different from the colour being separated in terms of hue, lightness and purity.

Gradation is the gradual change of colour, hue, lightness and purity can be changed gradually.
Gradient colours have a harmonious and rich colour effect and are used more often in the colour treatment of packaging.
Contrast colours

Logo colours
This is a conceptual use of colour that does not directly imitate the colour characteristics of the content, but is based on the common understanding of a wide range of consumers.
It is mainly used for the embodiment of certain energetic characteristics of the product or the embodiment of a certain trademark idea.
For example, the packaging of Chinese cigarettes uses the colour of the Chinese nation – red.
Logo colours
The logo colour here is not the colour of the trademark, but the colour of the packaging of a series of products of different kinds or of the same kind.
For example, different colours are used to differentiate the packaging of different components of the same brand of everyday chemicals. The area, shape and orientation should be varied in the treatment.
Secondary colours
