Common Color Mistakes
- Wrong color for brand — Black for a natural brand = mismatch
- No sample approval — Color looks different in person
- Ignoring cost — Black on budget products = expensive
- Wrong color for product — Kraft for a clinical product = too casual
- Too many colors — One box with 3 colors = too busy
