Color Unification for Packaging Designs

I have several finished food-product packaging layouts that currently carry too many disparate hues. I want every SKU to share the same concise palette—no more than four colours total—so printing is simpler and the shelf presence feels unmistakably cohesive.

You will receive the original design files; the structure, copy and imagery stay exactly as they are. Your task is purely colour work: select, apply and tidy up swatches across each file, making sure tints, gradients or spot colours all resolve to the new 3–4 colour system. I’m happy to discuss which colours should lead, but the end result must look harmonious, balanced and production-ready.

Deliverables
• Updated packaging files in their native format (AI/PSD) plus press-ready PDFs
• One master swatch file (.ase) that contains the final 3–4 colours with CMYK and Pantone values
• Quick before/after previews so I can approve at a glance

Acceptance criteria
• Every element conforms to the agreed palette
• No hidden or legacy colours left in the artwork layers
• Files open without missing links or font errors

If you’re fluent in Adobe Illustrator and comfortable with colour management for print, this should be a straightforward yet impactful assignment.
