PROJECT 26 COMMUNICATIONS
Located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Project 26 Communications is a project-based communications consultancy. All work evolves around the written word and the 26 letters that form the Roman alphabet. Launched in 2017, Project 26's corporate colour is Greenery 15-0343 -- Pantone Inc.'s 2017 colour of the year.
Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature's greens revive, restore, and renew. Illustrative of flourishing foliage and the lushness of the great outdoors, the fortifying attributes of Greenery signals consumers to take a deep breath, oxygenate, and reinvigorate. -- Pantone Inc.
