Direction C — Design Notes vs. Direction B
Section Color Map
White — Hero, Services, Area, Reviews. The default surface everywhere.
Sky Blue — Trust strip, Geothermal. Signals information and expertise without weight.
Soft Yellow — Klein Difference, CTA strip. Warm and attention-drawing without shouting.
Off-white — Reviews section. Gentle separation without a color statement.
Near-black — Footer only. One dark anchor at the base of the page.
Logo Color Roles in this Direction
Red — CTAs, active nav, star ratings, section eyebrows, and the dominant service rule. Never a background.
Yellow — Tinted into the soft yellow panel backgrounds. Never full-saturation. The four-color footer rule is the only full-saturation yellow.
Cobalt — Links, secondary buttons, trust strip icons and text. Carries informational weight without being aggressive.
Green — Geothermal service only. Contained. The footer rule is the one place all four appear together.
What Changed from Direction B
Removed all black section backgrounds except the footer. Hero is now white, not dark.
Sky blue replaces the heavy red trust strip. Same information, much lower visual temperature.
Yellow used at ~15% saturation as a panel tint rather than as a full background color.
Red is now functional only — buttons and highlights. It reads as intentional rather than decorative.
Questions to Resolve Before Choosing
Does the sky blue feel right for a heating company, or does it read too cold / too "dental office"? It could shift warmer toward a pale gold instead.
The yellow panels need real photography to test against. On a white-heavy site, the photo quality carries much more of the brand weight than on a dark site.
The footer is the only truly dark section. Is that enough anchor? Or does one interior section — e.g. the Klein Difference — want to be dark for contrast and gravitas?
