Colours

Overview

For generations, Blue has been the No. 1 writing colour. This also reflects the colour world of Schneider: with an intense deep blue, broken up by bright accent colours.

Primary Colour-Module

Schneider dark blue and Schneider cyan are the brand’s house colours. These two colours are mainly used and usually complemented with white. This interplay creates a striking colour world that leaves a unique impression at every touchpoint with the brand.

Secondary colours

Whether for special promotions, on the cover of a flyer or as a reference to special product features in the catalogue: Sometimes it takes a strong accent to draw attention to a detail. A bright yellow is available as a secondary colour, which you can use as an eye-catcher. The font on yellow disruptors is set in our house colour Schneider-Cyan.

In addition, there is a second secondary colour. However, our bright green is reserved exclusively for the environmental logos and must not serve as a disruptor.

Blue tones

When designing digital interfaces (e. g. a website navigation), the extended colour canon can be accessed. The basis is Schneider dark blue, which can be used in graduated shades. This offers you more variance in the design.
