The Colour Of The Day
Dark Red, Deep Blue 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, 8 August 2026: dark red, deep blue and vibrant red. The dominant shade held 27 per cent of all chromatic ink measured across the set.
