Color Palette - Evening News
🎙️ THE EVENING NEWS COLOR PALETTE
a breaking broadcast in shades of bold and bureaucratic
Welcome to The Evening News — a color palette so serious it files TPS reports in triplicate, drinks its coffee black (like its soul), and once made a printer cry.
🟥 Fundamental — This red isn’t here for fun. It’s here to shout “BREAKING NEWS” across the chyron while your panic rises with the Dow Jones. Use it sparingly… or recklessly, if you're CNN.
🟥 Deadline — A deeper red, like the crusty remains of ambition left on a keyboard at 2am. Smells faintly of burned toast and regret. Perfect for when you want to say, “Yes, the world is on fire.”
⬛ Headline — Blacker than your editor’s sense of humor. This shade doesn’t ask questions. It demands answers, usually in bold, all caps, and followed by “DEVELOPING.”
⬜ Newsprint — That classy gray your local anchor wears with subtle shoulder pads. It’s composed, it’s smooth, it screams, “I went to journalism school and all I got was this palette.”
⬜ Broadcast — The softest of grays, like static on a tube TV or the vague disinterest of a weatherman stuck covering potholes. It’s polite, professional, and mildly disappointed in your font choices.
📰 Whether you're designing a news site or just want your blog to look like it could interrupt your feed with "We’ll be right back," this palette has you covered — from scandal to sports, with just a hint of existential dread.
Tag yourself. I’m Deadline.
