These amateur colours are making me crazy!

In this industry (and others, probably) it's always tough when the main contact you've been dealing with leaves your client's organisation and is replaced by an outsider keen to put their own stamp on things and impress everyone. It usually leads to a lot of unnecessary alterations that are insisted upon by the new person just to make themselves seem very important..

We've spent a lot of time over the last 2 years working on a suite of documents for a client in the hospitality business. They've just replaced their operations manager who's insisting on orchestrating changes to the material. Her rationale? The colours don't look very professional.

Professional? We're at a loss here. Does anybody know what distingushes a colour as professional? I'm certain he doesn't know what it means but maybe he thought it would sound good in a boardroom somewhere.. We're considering telling him to hold on a little while because the existing colours are going to go professional after the Olympics.

Professional colours.. I ask you..
