+nanochess Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 We have a box off to be printed. Rev wanted a different color that was not generally used, I didn't realize that he was going for this level of minimalism as well. boximage.png Wow! Rev is going to revolutionate box art!

You can read all about it here: http://www.colormatters.com/color-and-design/are-black-and-white-colors Who is arguing? For the purpose of putting black ink on white cardboard, black is a colour that is fully recognized as a "colour" by the printing industry.
