About the Invoice Branding Generator

Branding an invoice is not the same as branding a website. An invoice is printed, often on a cheap office laser, photocopied, scanned into an archive and read by somebody in an accounts department who is looking for four numbers. A colour that looks elegant on screen can print as an unreadable pale grey.

This picks colours for that reality. Start from your brand colour, and it builds an accent that keeps enough contrast against white for headings and rules, checks it against the WCAG contrast threshold, and shows how it will look converted to greyscale — which is how most invoices are eventually printed or scanned.

It pairs the colour with a type style — a classic serif, a clean sans or a compact style for long item lists — and shows the result on a live invoice rather than on a swatch. When it looks right, the builder on the page is already using it.

Frequently asked questions

White paper with one accent colour for the title, rules and totals. The accent should be dark enough to read as text — a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against white — because a pale brand colour disappears on a cheap printer.
