The Colour Of The Day
Dark Green, Vibrant Magenta and Vibrant Red
A reduced set: The Daily Telegraph and Daily Express were not available, so this day is measured from 3 papers rather than 5.
Three colours drawn from the front pages of 3 national newspapers published on Saturday, 16 May 2026: dark green, vibrant magenta and vibrant red. The dominant shade held 21 per cent of all chromatic ink measured across the set.
