Use Your Brand Color

Be consistent with the color code you use for your educational institute throughout all your documents. This will help your target audience recognize your brand instantly. And establishing trust and authority for your academy will prove to be indispensable.

If you are initially unsure about your color scheme, try two to three colors that complement each other.

Use semi-transparent shapes
