We are regularly asked, where did the name Dark Cherry Creative come from? It's really not that exciting, and no it isn't food related!

One day Richard and James were sat chatting about previous freelance projects and the names of businesses etc. James mentioned a gripe he had that his company was called True Blue, but there wasn't a Pantone reference named True Blue.

At the time Richard was sat in a maroon coloured shirt, we both agreed that we liked the colour. "it's like a plum colour... James, we can’t be a pair of plums!". Let's talk with Charles and think a little more... OK, it's like a Dark Cherry Colour... after a little research and a few other suggestions, we found Dark Cherry is a Pantone colour! You can imagine the delight for James.

We made it happen, a company name with a Pantone reference. There you have it, the most boring way to come up with a company name.
