We also use any percentage of black (grey tones). These are useful when designing complex charts and diagrams that need contrast between numerous variables. When designing more complex charts and diagrams you can use screens of the two reds. Sometimes, we use five per cent black as a background to highlight and define areas of copy, such as sidebars.
