Just Sayin’

Adult Coloring Book Production SOPColoring Through Love, Lessons & Red Flags

This SOP directs contractors to create a coloring book that looks and feels like part of the official Just Sayin’ product family — not a separate wellness brand. The design standard is burgundy, gold, black, cream, mature typography, clean line art, and emotionally intelligent relationship wisdom.

1. Mandatory Brand Direction

The coloring book must visually match the existing Just Sayin’ book and product ecosystem. Contractors should not create a new color palette, soft wellness aesthetic, pastel look, gray page system, or generic self-help design.

Primary ColorsBurgundy, deep wine, black, gold, cream, and white.

Logo / WordmarkUse the Just Sayin’ script-style logo/wordmark feel prominently on the cover and sales assets.

TypographyElegant serif/display style for titles; bold clean sans-serif for labels, navigation, CTAs, and instructions.

Design MoodBook-cover quality, grown, premium, relational, witty, emotionally intelligent, not childish.

AvoidGray cards, gray backgrounds, pastel wellness design, thin low-contrast text, cartoon-child style.

Cover StandardMust look like a companion product to the Just Sayin’ book: burgundy/gold dominant with strong title presence.
