Colours

27. The use of a large number of colours would make it difficult to say that a design is distinctive. Therefore, the total number of colours or shades used in the design (including highlight colours but not including the colours used in identifiers) must be limited to a maximum of eight including black and white.

28. There must be a common theme of colours, patterns and prints applying between:

(a) the male and female designs; and

(b) the designs for each class of employee.

In general, this criterion applies in respect of an employer. The only exceptions are:

(i) where it is a requirement for safety reasons for employees in different classes to be easily identifiable; or

(ii) where the employer maintains separate public identities for parts of its organisation, the employer may elect for this criterion to apply separately to each part of the organisation.

29. The limitation on the number of colours to be used in the design is not affected by the weight or construction of the fabric, its content, or whether it is knitted or woven, eg. a navy woven skirt and matching navy knitwear would be considered to be one plain colour only.

30. The number of colour/pattern/print combinations available for use by an employer is limited by the number of employees in the class that the clothing has been designed for. This is to ensure that the uniform is cohesive and the corporate, product or service identity obvious. The following table sets out how many colour/pattern/print combinations are allowed for an employer with a particular number of employees in the class that the clothing has been designed for. For example, an employer with 600 employees in the same class may use the number of colour/pattern/print combinations in the second column of the table below (101‑3,000 employees). If the uniform utilised the colours navy and white, the five colour/pattern/print combinations for the shirts could be:

1. Navy 2) White 3)Navy/White Dots

2. Navy/White Stripes 5) Navy/White Floral Print

Number of colour/pattern/print combinations available to be allowed a tax deduction:
