![60-30-10 colour rule illustration: a man is shown wearing a plain suit, button up shirt and tie. 60% of colour on show is from the suit; 30% is from the shirt; 10% is from the tie.](https://images.prismic.io/sketchplanations/261a7f2f-2f30-4725-85ae-0078dcd8561e_161942538706.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=max&w=3840&q=50)
The 60-30-10 color rule is a handy and memorable technique for a great start in simple branding.
Think of a suit where about 60% of the colour you see is the suit, 30% the shirt and 10% accent or highlight with the tie. Classic.
