The Colour Of The Day
Deep Blue, Deep Orange and Pale Red
A reduced set: Daily Mail, Daily Express and Daily Star were not available, so this day is measured from 2 papers rather than 5. That is too few to stand for the press as a whole, so these colours are not comparable with the rest of the archive.
Three colours drawn from the front pages of 2 national newspapers published on Wednesday, 26 May 2021: deep blue, deep orange and pale red. The dominant shade held 43 per cent of all chromatic ink measured across the set.
