What is a colour system?

Developing a colour system is conceptual work that links different colours together for, say, a brand concept. In design concepts and branding systems, colour systems are therefore used to create a consistent palette that can be reproduced identically or very similarly online and in print. For the definition, one draws on the available options of the RGB system for screen applications, the CMYK system for print, as well as Pantone or HKS.
