Colour

Blue evokes feelings of calmness and spirituality as well as security and trust. Seeing the colour blue causes the body to create chemicals that are calming. Dark blues are great for corporate designs because it helps give a professional feel. Light blues give a more relaxing, friendly feel, and neutrals like white and grey can also make you feel calm.

Colour has been applied to titles, headings and tables.

Graphs for Asset Allocation utilise the Morningstar Assets colour design. This ensures your Morningstar Research has consistent colours when explaining asset classes to your clients.
