Usage Guide
When to Use
Use for brands at the absolute top of their category — where price point, quality, and brand narrative all support the removal of color as decoration. Excellent for premium barbershops and fine dining brands.
When NOT to Use
Avoid for food businesses where color communicates freshness and appetite. A black-and-white photo of a salad is far less appetizing than a colorful one.
