Add a splash of colour
We’ve evolved our range of colours to drive greater brand consistency and impact. A new lighter blue has been incorporated into the creative to add oceanic and premium cues to the brand. We’ve also introduced a cream colour to the background to add a richness and premium quality to the finish. The light blue and cream complement the navy and gold of the existing colour palette and work alongside these colours to reinforce the feeling of maritime adventure.
Our P&O Cruises red is used across our website to highlight a CTA within a button as this helps create standout for the channel. The red isn’t to be used on any other customer-facing comms as we’re keen to establish our new light blue and cream as brand assets. Red should be used sparingly within a piece of collateral and any high levels of usage need to go to the brand team for approval.

Secondary colours
While we lead with our primary colours, if you need to use any of our secondary colours for your creative, we have evolved our existing range to create a paler, calmer range of tones that work alongside the gold. This replaces the range of secondary colours we had in previous brand guidelines.

The secondary colour palette can also be used to complement an image. For example, if a sunset image includes a purple hue, you might then use the secondary colour palette to accompany this. If there’s no image, you want to make sure the colours used work in harmony together and don’t clash.
