The Colour Of The Day
Near Black, Deep Rich Blue and Vibrant Red
A reduced set: Daily Mail and The Independent 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 Sunday, 16 August 2026: near black, deep rich blue and vibrant red. The dominant shade held 26 per cent of all chromatic ink measured across the set.
