3. Colour BuyUKCars™ has 3 primary colours of UK Yellow, UK Blue and UK Red and has selected specific colour values for each reproduction process. Additionally BuyUKCars™ uses PANTONE Process Black. When reproducing it’s very important to use the provided SPOT/CMYK & RGB values depending on printing/production process being used. DO NOT use conversions of colours for one process to use for another process (e.g. DO NOT use software tools to convert SPOT to CMYK).

In body copy, BuyUKCars™ is always written sentence case (i.e Uppercase B, UK and C and Lowercase for everything else) and should always feature the ™ mark. NEVER type in all lowercase (i.e. buyukcars) or all UPPERCASE (i.e BUYUKCARS).
