Know your enemy: Why your Web site is at risk
In this Lesson 1 technical paper from Web Security School, guest instructor Michael Cobb outlines the threats to Web sites and who is behind them.
by Michael Cobb
To the tag line for the Internet -- "Build it and they will come" -- I would add "...and try to crack it, deface it, abuse it, break it and steal it."
Hackers have more resources and time than even the largest organizations, and they don't suffer from the usual organizational constraints, such as office politics and budgets, that security practitioners face. In fact, hackers can show an almost enviable example of online collaboration, sharing information in order to achieve a result. This article will help you understand the tools, tactics and motives of the black hat community so that you have a better appreciation of the threats to your Web site and the system it runs on, and the importance of protecting them.
Statistics to keep you awake at night
In a test conducted over a two-week period in September 2004 by USA TODAY, there were 305,922 attempts to break into six computers connected to the Internet. The attacks literally began as soon as the computers went online, averaging more than 300 per hour against both a Windows XP Service Pack 1 machine with no firewall and an Apple Macintosh. There were more than 60 attacks per hour against a Windows Small Business Server. During the test, both of the Windows-based machines were compromised.
These figures show how active the hacker community is. Any computer connected to the Internet is at risk, particularly a Web server. Although e-commerce Web sites receive more targeted attacks than any other type of Web site, it is no longer a question of if, but when your site will be probed.
Script kiddies and organized crime
The vast majority of attacks are automated and random as attackers don't care what systems they compromise. In all likelihood, the remote systems attacking a Web site are unwitting accomplices whose system administrator has no idea his systems are infected with a Trojan. According to Symantec's Internet Security Threat Report, more than 40% of worm-related attacks against machines connected to the Internet propagated from IP addresses controlled by Fortune 100 companies!
The individuals behind these attacks are often referred to as script kiddies, a disparaging term that doesn't reflect the devastation they can wreak. Many script kiddies lack technical competency. But by using only a single tool or exploit, randomly probing large numbers of systems and attacking the weakest, they can achieve dramatic results. Spikes in attacks are tied to the school calendar, suggesting that many teenagers are behind them.
In most circumstances the techniques used by script kiddies are the same techniques used by serious criminals who have financial gain as their main object. Often financed by organized crime, these attacks aim to defraud or steal online assets rather than be destructive.
Tactics, tools and motives behind attacks
The script kiddie's goal is to gain control of a computer the easiest way possible. Script kiddies' random selection of targets and lack of concern about the damage they cause make them a dangerous assailant to any Web site that resides on a system permanently connected to the Internet.
The tactics used in an attack are simple: build a database of IP addresses that can be scanned (systems that are up and reachable), scan those addresses for a specific vulnerability and exploit it. Once script kiddies find a vulnerable system and gain control, their first step normally is to cover their tracks. They want to ensure that the system owner cannot detect the intrusion. After checking to see if the coast is clear, the script kiddie clears the log files and replaces or modifies various critical files.
Tools used by script kiddies are often easy to use, require little interaction and are widely available. A tool is used to build a database of IP addresses. Some tools randomly select which IP network to scan while others conduct zone transfers of a selected domain name and all its sub-domains. Scan results are often archived or shared with other attackers to exploit a new vulnerability at a later date without having to build a new database.
After determining which systems in their database are running the vulnerable OS (by using a tool such as Fyodor's nmap), an intruder can easily target and compromise them. Tools to exploit vulnerabilities often appear within days of a new vulnerability being made public.
Just as there are automated scripts for hacking, there are also automated tools, such as lrk4, that mask the intruder's presence on a system. These are often called rootkits.
Once intruders are safely hidden, they tend to do one of two things. They may use the system to scan or exploit other systems; or they may choose to attack the system. Often they will silently monitor the system with a sniffer, returning later to see if any valuable data such as passwords or bank details have been captured.
Web site defacements are the most common result of an attack by script kiddies. The motive behind these attacks may be purely malicious - a grudge perhaps or to make a political point. Others may do it for the fun of the challenge, or as a way to compete with other hacker groups to set records for the most high-profile site attacked. The criminal's motive is simply fraud, theft or blackmail. Some in the industry maintain that hackers are different to crackers in that their motives are not malicious, but for system administrators this is merely semantics.

FOR585.1: Smartphone Overview and Malware Forensics
Cindy Murphy
Mon Jul 28th, 2014
Focus: Although smartphone forensic concepts are similar to those in digital forensics, smartphone file system structures differ and require specialized decoding skills to correctly interpret the data acquired from the device. Today you will apply what you already know to smartphone forensic handling, device capabilities, acquisition methods, and data encoding concepts of smartphone components. You will also become familiar with the forensic tools required to complete comprehensive examinations of smartphone data structures. Malware affects a plethora of smartphone devices. This section will examine various types of malware, how it exists on smartphones, and how to identify it.
The existence of malware on smartphones is a reality that all examiners today must address. Often, the only question relating to an investigation may be �was this smartphone compromised, how, and what can you do to fix it?� It is important for examiners to understand malware and how to identify its existence on the smartphone.
Smartphones will be introduced and defined to set our expectations for what we can recover using digital forensic methodologies. We review the properties of Flash memory in mobile devices and demonstrate the pros and cons from a forensic perspective. We provide approaches for dealing with common challenges such as encryption, passwords, and damaged and devices. You will learn how to process and decode data on mobile devices from a forensic perspective, and you�ll learn tactics to recover information that even forensic tools may not always be able to retrieve.

Not a tough call considering a Week 15 slate that's dangerously thin on barnburners. Outside of Ravens at Lions -- which can't be flexed out of its Monday night spot -- Patriots at Dolphins is the only game that doesn't feature at least one team with a losing record.
The NFL has made a pair of minor tweaks to the Sunday schedule, moving Saints at Rams and Cardinals at Titans to a 4:25 p.m. ET start on Fox.
Go tell all your friends.
The latest "Around the League Podcast" recapped every Week 13 game.

Identity theft and personal data theft is a world wide problem in current times. This sort of data in general resides in a database. Recent surveys have also found that the number of internal breaches of security in those companies and organisations polled has increased so that internal breaches now exceed external breaches. This in simple terms means that your Oracle database and the data it holds must be secured at the Oracle database level; firewalls and traditional network security are no longer enough. Oracle database security is where we can help you.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same as follows:
SECTION 1. There shall be a regional wastewater district for the towns of Mansfield, Foxborough and Norton, to be known as the MFN Regional Wastewater District, which shall be a body politic and corporate and political subdivision of the commonwealth. Notwithstanding the procedural requirements of section 25 of chapter 40N, or sections 28 to 33, inclusive of chapter 21 of the General Laws all actions taken by the towns of Mansfield, Foxborough and Norton and the district commission which are not inconsistent with this act are hereby validated, ratified and confirmed in all respects. The purpose of the district shall be to manage and control the wastewater treatment plant, interceptors, effluent recharge and reuse system and appurtenances, to act as a regional wastewater district and to provide for the collection, treatment, discharge, recharge and reuse of effluent for the member towns.
SECTION 2. For the purposes of this act, "district" shall mean the MFN Regional Wastewater District established in section 1 and "agreement" shall mean the agreement among the towns of Mansfield, Foxborough and Norton passed at the town meetings of those towns in 2008 as may be supplemented and amended by those towns in accordance with section 7.
SECTION 3. (a) The powers, duties and liabilities of the district shall be vested in and exercised by a district commission organized in accordance with this section and the agreement. The commission shall choose a chairman and secretary by ballot from its membership. It shall appoint a treasurer, who shall not be a member of the commission. The treasurer shall receive and take charge of all money belonging to the district and shall pay any bill of the district which shall have been approved by the commission. The treasurer may, by vote of the commission, be compensated for services. The treasurer of the district shall be subject to sections 35, 52 and 109A of chapter 41 of the General Laws, provided that in applying said sections to said treasurer, the word "district" shall be substituted for "town" and "district commission" shall be substituted for "selectmen".
(b) Foxborough and Norton shall appoint 2 commission members. Mansfield shall appoint 3 members. The Mansfield and Foxborough members shall be appointed by the board having the authority of water & sewer commissioners. One of the Norton members shall be appointed by the board of selectmen and the other by the board having the authority of water & sewer commissioners.
SECTION 4. Notwithstanding the last sentence of section 25 of chapter 40N of the General Laws, the district shall have the following powers and duties:
(1) to adopt a name and a corporate seal, and the engraved or printed facsimile of such seal appearing on a bond or note of the district shall have the same legal effect as such seal would have if it were impressed on the bond or note;
(2) to sue and be sued, but only to the same extent and upon the same conditions that a city or town may be sued, and to plead and be impleaded;
(3) to purchase, take by eminent domain under chapter 79 of the General Laws or otherwise acquire land within the member towns, or an interest in land within those towns, for the purposes of the district to construct, reconstruct, replace, rehabilitate, repair, equip, operate and maintain wastewater treatment, pumping and collection and effluent recharge and reuse facilities for the benefit of said towns, or any other facilities necessary to carry out the purposes of the district; and to make any necessary contracts in relation to those purposes; provided, however, that at least 2 commission members from the town in which the land is located must vote in the affirmative; and provided, further, that land may be taken by eminent domain only if the district first requests, in writing, that the town take such land and the town does not take such land within 120 days after the district has requested;
(4) to purchase or otherwise acquire land outside the member towns for the purposes stated in subsection (3), but only if the district first obtains approval, in writing, of the board of selectmen for each town in which the land is located or from the mayor and city council, aldermen or equivalent for each city in which the land is located;
(5) to incur debt for the purpose of acquiring land, or an interest in land, and constructing, reconstructing, replacing, rehabilitating, repairing and equipping wastewater treatment, pumping, collection and effluent recharge and reuse facilities and any other facilities necessary to carry out the purposes of the district, including debt for the purposes of designing and otherwise planning any such improvements, for a term not exceeding 30 years; but written notice of the amount of the debt and of the general purposes for which it was authorized shall be given to the board of selectmen of each town comprising the district and to each town's board exercising the powers of sewer commissioners not later than 10 business days after the date on which said debt was authorized by the district commission, and no debt shall be incurred until the expiration of 45 days from the date said debt was authorized by the district commission;

(8) to incur temporary debt in anticipation of revenue to be received from the member towns or from any other source;
(9) to assess member towns for any expenses of the district;
(10) to maintain a reserve fund, and to carry over the remaining balance of such fund into the ensuing fiscal year, subject to the limitations in section 5;
(11) to apply to receive and expend or hold a grant or gift for the purposes of the district;
(12) to engage legal counsel, financial advisors, engineers, accountants, consultants, agents and other advisors;
(13) to submit an annual report to each of the member towns, containing a detailed financial statement and a statement showing the method by which the annual charges assessed against each town were computed;
(14) to employ an executive director and such other employees as necessary to operate the district;
(15) to enter into contracts with any persons, including, but not limited to, non-member cities and towns, other bodies politic and the United States of America, that are necessary or convenient to carrying out the powers of the district, including, but not limited to, contracts for the purchase or for the operation and management of the sewer, wastewater treatment plant, collection, treatment, reuse and recharge facilities of the district;
(16) to enact by-laws and rules concerning the management and regulation of its affairs and the use of its facilities and the provision of its services;
(17) to convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any district real or personal property, or interests in such property, no longer needed for district purposes; and
(18) to do any and all other things necessary and convenient to carry out the powers and purposes of the district, and all other things incidental and related to the powers of the district.
An engraved or printed facsimile signature under subsection 5 shall have the same validity and effect as the chairman's written signature so long as it complies with all requirements of that subsection.
SECTION 5. The district commission shall annually determine the amounts necessary to be raised to maintain and operate the district during the ensuing fiscal year, plus a reserve fund not to exceed 15 per cent of the annual budget for the ensuing year, and shall apportion the amounts so determined among the several member towns in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The amounts for the upcoming fiscal year so apportioned for each town shall, prior to February 1 in each year, be certified by the district treasurer to the treasurers of the member towns and to each town's sewer commissioners or board exercising the powers of sewer commissioners. Except to the extent that the district treasurer's certification provides a credit from sewer system revenues and other sources, the sewer commissioners or board exercising the powers of sewer commissioners of each member town shall without further vote include each amount so certified in the amounts to be assessed annually in such town upon sewer users and others assessable under sections 14 to 24, inclusive, of chapter 83 of the General Laws and section 23 of chapter 59 of the General Laws, and with or without a town appropriation the town treasurer shall pay to the district the amounts so apportioned at the times specified in the agreement. The amounts apportioned or to be apportioned under the agreement shall not be included in calculating total taxes assessed in paragraph (a) of section 21C of said chapter 59, or the maximum levy limit in paragraph (f), of said section 21C of said chapter 59. The amounts certified by the district treasurer shall be deemed to be for services customarily provided locally or subscribed to at local option and shall not be subject to the limitation of section 20B of said chapter 59.
SECTION 6. Notwithstanding chapter 44 of the General Laws, only sections 16 to 28, inclusive, of said chapter 44, shall apply to the district; provided, however, that section 16 of said chapter 44 relating to the countersigning of bonds and notes and section 24 of said chapter 44 relating to the countersigning and approval of notes and the certificates of the clerk relating to notes shall not apply to the district; and provided, further, that notwithstanding section 19 of said chapter 44 to the contrary, the maturities of each issue of bonds and notes of the district shall be arranged so that for each issue the amounts payable in the several years for principal and interest combined shall be as nearly equal as practicable, in the opinion of the treasurer, or in the alternative, in accordance with a schedule providing for a more rapid amortization of principal. Any debt incurred by the district shall not be subject to the limit of indebtedness prescribed in section 10 of said chapter 44. Nothing in this act shall prevent the individual towns from establishing and maintaining a sewer enterprise fund under section 53F½ of said chapter 44 as the mechanism for assessing, collecting and paying the amounts certified by the district treasurer under sections 5 and 8.
SECTION 7. The member towns shall adopt an agreement consistent with this act prior to organization of the district commission under section 2 and may from time to time amend the agreement so long as the amended agreement is consistent with this act.
SECTION 8. Notwithstanding section 5 or the terms of the agreement or any general or special law to the contrary, each member town's share of the costs of the district's wastewater treatment facility improvements and expansion shall be based on each town's share of overall expansion and each member town's share of the costs of plant upgrade shall be based on each town's overall allocation of flow capacity as further detailed in the agreement.
Each of the member towns shall pay its share of such costs upon receipt by the treasurer of the town of the certification of the costs allocated to that town under the agreement by the district treasurer, in accordance with the due date and payment instructions set by the district treasurer. Except to the extent that the district treasurer's certification provides a credit from sewer system revenues and other sources, the sewer commissioners or board exercising the powers of sewer commissioners of each member town shall without further vote include each amount so certified in the amounts to be assessed annually in such town upon sewer users and others assessable under sections 14 to 24, inclusive, of chapter 83 of the General Laws and section 23 of chapter 59 of the General Laws, and, with or without a town appropriation, the town treasurer shall pay to the district the amounts so apportioned at the times specified in the agreement. The amounts apportioned or to be apportioned under the agreement shall not be included in calculating total taxes assessed in paragraph (a) of section 21C of said chapter 59, or the maximum levy limit in paragraph (f), of said section 21C of said chapter 59. The amounts certified by the district treasurer shall be deemed to be for services customarily provided locally or subscribed to at local option and shall not be subject to the limitation of section 20B of said chapter 59.
SECTION 9. In the event that a member town, which has received a certification of the district's charges, shall fail to pay the same to the district when due after demand by the district, the district may, not less than 60 days after such demand and without any requirement of election of remedy provided that there is no duplication of recovery: (i) certify to the state treasurer the amount owing to the district by the member town, whereupon the state treasurer shall promptly pay over to the district any amount otherwise certified to the state treasurer for payment to the member town as unrestricted general government aid and any other amount for local reimbursement, grant or assistance programs entitled to be received by the member town until such time as any deficiency in the member town's payment of charges to the district shall be set off by such payments from the state treasurer; and (ii) recover from the member town in an action in superior court the amount of such unpaid charges together with such lost interest and other actual damages the district shall have sustained from the failure or refusal of the member town to pay over said amount. Any amount paid to the district by the state treasurer as a set off under this section which is later determined, upon audit, to be in excess of the actual amount of charges, interest and damages due to the district, shall, upon demand of the member town, be repaid by the district to the member town.
SECTION 10. The district shall adopt such by-laws as may be necessary and proper for the effective functioning of the district and its operations, capital improvements and finances, including, but not limited to, by-law provisions as put forth in the agreement. The by-laws may also provide for appointment of alternate members and such other matters relative to the business and affairs of the district as may be appropriate to exercise all powers necessary, convenient or incidental to the purposes for which the district was formed.
SECTION 11. The district may, from time to time, prescribe rules and regulations regarding the use of common sewers to prevent the entrance or discharge in the sewers of any substance which may tend to interfere with the flow of sewage or the proper operation of the sewerage system and the treatment and disposal works, for the connection of estates and buildings with sewers, for the construction, alteration and use of all connections entering into such sewers, and for the inspection of all materials used in the sewers; and may prescribe civil penalties, not exceeding $5,000 per violation for each day of violation of any such rule or regulation. The rules and regulations shall be published once in a newspaper of general circulation within each of the member towns, and shall include a notice that the rules and regulations shall be available for inspection by the public, and shall not take effect until such publication has been made. The rules and regulations shall conform with federal and state laws.
Approved, May 5, 2010.

I have tried a few of the long lasting style lip products in the past – Max Factor's, Lip Ink, L'oreal. My experiences with them haven't been wonderful, mainly because they dry my lips out big time. I wanted to see if Revlon's new Color (American spelling!) Stay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick would do better.
Up to 12 hours of color apparently!
They say:
* Food-proof lipcolor with a built-in, ultra-conditioning topcoat
* One-step application- No topcoat required for comfortable wear
* Stays comfortable and wears beautifully for up to 12 hours
* Does not feather or fade; no touch-ups required, even after meals
* Available in 20 full-coverage, soft satin shades
To Use: Apply a thin, even layer to clean, bare lips and wait until dry.
This is Prized Peach:
I like the tube – a solid, fairly glamourous affair, and the peach shade is a lovely natural shade.
The texture is quite liquid and once it dried it stained my hand! The idea of this product is that its a 2 in 1 – unlike traditional long lasting lipsticks, it doesn't need the 'top coat' gloss or balm to add moisture to the lips.
I used one coat for a fairly even colour, however, it clung to any dry bits on my lips:
Now – did it last 12 hours?
Nope. It lasted about 5-6 with coffees and lunch inbetween which is still quite good as I am a vigorous eater.
As the product dried it felt quite sticky and tacky – even when it was completely dry to me, it still felt sticky and if I am honest a little uncomfortable. Not that awful dry, stretchy feeling of the traditional lip products but still tacky nonetheless.
With some lipgloss or balm on top it felt MUCH better and wearable.
After my work day, about 10 hours I was left with this:
The colour has clung to the dry patches of my lips and it hasn't faded evenly.
This lipstick is a huge improvement on the other long lasting lip colours that I have tried before.
There's a really nice selection of shades
Lasts longer than a normal lipstick
On my naturally dry lips, it still makes them a little flaky. I would suggest that someone who already has healthy lips and doesn't have much chapping would feel the benefits of this lip colour, rather than anyone prone to dryness.
It feels sticky. I tried a thinner layer, but it still felt tacky to me – some balm on top solves this.
You can browse the range here and buy from larger Boots stores in the UK.

Running time: 100 minutes
[dropcap]W[/dropcap]ell I have to say that this is one of those films I've been dying to see for at least 2 months. I am a huge fan of Will Smith and his son Jaden (Karate Kid was sooo good.) Unfortunately, there were too many problems with the movie. I hate to say it, but I was mad that I spent my money on it. It isn't that this movie is bad, rather it is one of those movies you wait to catch on HBO, or if you can't wait – rent from Redbox.
To start with Will Smith's character is just too unbelievable. He's like a mortal version of superman and that's cool, I think there is room for African American bionic men (there are certainly enough bionic mortal supermen characters without color). It's just that we didn't know enough of his character to really care about him, and that was the mistake. We needed more background, we needed a reason to draw our own conclusion that he was amazing and it had to be more than the one seen of him ghosting that we saw in the trailer.
The trailer is the BIGGEST thing that made this movie "Waah waaah". It tells you the whole story. Every single good scene in the movie that would have made me walk away with a smile on my face was in the trailer. I expected to pay money and see more amazing things, instead I was just connected to the 5 amazing things that I've already seen in the trailer.
So aside from poor character development on Will Smith's character, and all the best parts of the movie being spoiled by the trailer… we have Jaden's performance. Which was good, but it didn't really have any soul. It felt a lot like someone going through the motions (well) but I didn't feel any real reason to like his character for 95% of the movie and I think that was a mistake. Sure he was a kid going through some trouble, but he also seemed to be a kid bereft of personality and lacking in any real character. His single driving motive seemed to be to get out of his father's enormous (unearned in the movie) shadow. Jaden's character needed to be more complex.
It was not I believe a fault of his acting, rather something lacking in the script and character development as a whole. This was a huge formula film that wasn't done well enough. M. Night Shyamalan should be ashamed of himself. I said it. Ashamed. He could have had a better vision on this one. (Unless of course he was micro managed by the purse string holders, but then he should have quit and told them where to stick it, because his name is hanging on this one, and so is his reputation and it's not impressive). What sucks for me is I'm a big fan of M. Night Shyamalan's work too. I'll tell you what though (and after reading this any of these people will likely say one or several combinations of things such as "Who the F(*UY is this guy anyway", "I still made more money than he's made in his life doing this 2 hour film", "Go f(**@ yourself fat boy", "What a douche bag") but seriously… if you sit down and take a look at the film I can't believe you will not agree. It's just not great, and that is the first time in 20 years I've seen anything from Will Smith and kin that wasn't great. So two things. 1) It's OK, you earned this one, and I'm still a big fan. 2) The fact that you have killed it for the last 20 years and now I'm complaining if your fault Will Smith… because damn… if you had just sucked a few other times I wouldn't have had unfair expectations of this movie… so… you know… keep doing you… but next time you have a film and you think it is done, hit big Phil up for a consult (free my dude, ask anyone that knows me, even my son, I do not sign off on stuff that isn't good). LOL!
So I give it 1 – 2 stars out of 5. It's worth watching on television, they have a lot of neat visualizations and future-ish technology that was cool. I'd even say it was worth renting on Redbox.

On Mad.co.uk, Ruth Mortimer discusses the power of colour in relation to choices consumers make, how they percieve brands, how color translates through varied cultures and how brand can protect the impact of "owning a color".
Starbucks green. Coca Cola red. UPS brown. Each brand has it's own identifable color. Recently, when new Economist billboards in London only had a picture of Brains from The Thunderbirds there was a consensus that people would know the brand just from their well known red background. There have been cases of brands going to court and suing over a competitor's using similar colors. Drug manufactures have been embracing color as a way to distinguish themselves- Prilosec purple, Viagra blue, and Prozac green. And there are a growing number of companies like Pantone which are specialize in creating corporate color identity and product color programs.
The following are some excerpts from the article:
Colour is no longer simply an element of design, but a standalone statement about the brand.
When retailer EasyGroup announced a move into the mobile market last month with its signature orange branding, it ran into opposition from Orange, the incumbent orange brand in the telecoms category.
"We use orange simply and that's why it's so important to us as it strengthens our fun, no-frills brand," explains James Rothnie, director of corporate affairs at EasyGroup. "We're not using a whole mass of colours, it's not complex. All our businesses use the same colour and the same font. It's a way of establishing your identity in the mind of the consumer."
Orange has equally strong ideas about what colour means for its business and the telecom has trademarked its chosen shade. This gives Orange the upper hand in negotiations with EasyGroup, although the two brands have now agreed to work on a compromise.
"It is neither party's interest to cause confusion, and we intend to work together to find an amicable solution," explains Orange spokesperson Sarah Taylor.
Orange's moves to protect its colour as its brand are no longer unusual. According to the Institute of Color Research, human beings make subconscious judgements about any new situation or item within 90 seconds of their initial viewing. Between 62% and 90% of that assessment is based on colour alone.
Angela Wright, a colour psychologist at agency Colour Affects, adds: "Colour is noticed by the brain before shape or wording. Since such a high percentage of our response to colour is unconscious, brands are sending a message to consumers whether they know it or not."
Brands must also consider the demographics of their target audience when working with colour. There are marked differences in how colours are perceived depending on nationality and cultural background.
Jill Morton, chief executive of consulting firm Colorcom, says that she sees both regional and gender differences in offering colour advice to brands. Although Colorcom's research shows that black represents high quality among consumers around the world, she adds: "It's interesting that US females rank gold first - a bit flashy - but in Western Europe, women rank colours like dark blue and platinum, a more subdued metallic."
The age of target consumers is also a factor. Colour Affects' Wright cites the case of Pepsi rebranding its white, red and blue cans to blue for its GeneratioNext campaign in 1998 as an example of a brand's colour clashing with its brand and target market.
She says: "Pepsi was promoting the brand as young and lively but they had introduced this terribly solemn, grown-up blue. The customer didn't know who to believe: the words or the colour. It just threw confusion into the mix."
Jez Frampton, chief executive of brand consultancy Interbrand, adds: "Pepsi rebranded into blue to differentiate itself from red Coke - in some markets, certain brands own a colour. But blue is an establishment colour and used in over 60% of corporate identities."
A number of brands have recognised the importance of colour in appealing to kids. Heinz now offers its tomato ketchup in a variety of colours including green and purple to entice younger consumers. US storage container brand Ziploc has created plastic bowls that change colour with temperature. Frito-Lay in the US has even created Cheetos crisps that turn tongues green or blue.
Colours can now be trademarked as a single entity without the need for a shape or design. Brands cannot simply trademark the broad term 'red' or 'green', but must register a shade on the internationally recognised Pantone scale.
The Patent Office applies common sense when it considers if a trademark application in the same business area would confuse consumers. Lawrence Smith-Higgins, head of marketing at the government body, says: "We compare the colours by sight even if the Pantone numbers are different. Identical trademarks can sit side by side as long as they are in different areas and unlikely to cause confusion. Silk Cut and Cadbury's have identical Pantone numbers but consumers are unlikely to confuse the two."
It is clear, however, that colour cannot be the only element on which to build a brand. No brand can be sold on one element of its offering. In addition, there are consumers, such as the 270 million colour-blind people worldwide, who cannot appreciate colour branding.
Dr Carol Kaufman-Scarborough, associate professor of marketing at Rutgers University in the US, who is researching colour-blindness, explains: "It is a problem if colours are used to signal specific information about the brand that is not accessible otherwise. Also if colour contrasts are too high - certain colour combinations can also be illegible. For some, red lettering on a black background appears totally black. And when the colours are 'translated' by the colour-deficient person they will appear unappealing."
But for most brands, the battle is to get their colour recognised by the other 6,377,641,642 potential consumers on the planet. Interbrand's Frampton warns: "If your brand is powerful enough, it can go beyond cultural codes of colour. You aren't chosen purely on colour - it's the whole package that counts."
The brain makes subconscious judgements of brands within the first 90 seconds of viewing them. The mind absorbs colour before design or wording and it is estimated that as much as 90% of the information taken in about a new brand is related to colour.
Colour should not be used simply for differentiation from competitors. You need to choose a colour that fits your brand message.
Research your target market as colour preferences can change with age, background and gender.
When stretching your brand into different countries, check to see if your colour scheme is associated with any deep-set prejudices that might cause the launch to fail.
Trademark your colour so that others in your services and goods category cannot cause confusion by using your brand shade.
WHITE: The colour for weddings in Europe and North America. The traditional mourning colour in China and South America. The most important priestly colour in India, where religious colour associations are more important than in the West.
BLACK: The European and North American colour for funerals. The colour of mourning for distant relatives when combined with blue in China.
RED: The colour of prohibition and warnings in Europe. Unpopular in Ireland when used with blue and white as this represents the British flag. Very popular in China as the colour of communism. In India, it is a Hindu symbol of love and generally denotes life, action and gaiety and is also a wedding dress colour for Sikhs. Should be avoided in Paraguay, along with green and blue as these colours are political.
PINK: The colour for baby girls in the UK and baby boys in Belgium and Eastern France. Seen as a male colour in Japan.
BLUE: The colour for baby boys in the UK and baby girls in Belgium and Eastern France. Seen as informative and trustworthy in Europe. Used in Sweden with yellow for the national flag and it is not seen as acceptable to use the national colours for commercial purposes. Dark blue has associations with the Kuomintang army in China and may give offence. In India, blue means truth and has intellectual appeal, although again dark blue is unpopular as the colour of the lowest castes. In Japan, blue is a female colour.
YELLOW: The colour of caution in Europe. An Imperial Chinese colour which denotes grandeur and mystery. In India, it is the colour of merchants and second only to white in terms of sanctity. Used along with white at mourning anniversaries in Japan, becoming brighter year after year. In Malaysia, it is the colour of the Sultans and can never be worn by Malays. The colour of despair in Brazil.
ORANGE: Popular in Holland, where it is national colour but unpopular in southern Ireland, where it stands for the Protestant Church. It is a symbol of Thursday in Thailand.
GREEN: The colour of the environment in Europe and a significant colour for all Muslims. It has has religious significance in Malaysia but is used commercially too. Popular in Mexico as a national colour.
PURPLE: The colour of royalty, especially in the UK. The colour of soothing in India but also associated with sorrow. The overall colour for sorrow in Brazil. Has religious connotations in Peru, especially in October, and is otherwise best avoided.
BROWN: Unpopular in Germany for clothing as too political following Hitler's Germany. It is thought to bring bad luck in Brazil.
According to an Adweek article from last April, "before the late 1990s, color was usually assigned a minor role in advertising—it was far less important than images, words, shapes and music. Some say the shift began in 1997, when Ogilvy & Mather put a blue letterbox around its IBM commercials. It gave the spots a fresh and cinematic look, says Ogilvy's Chris Wall, senior partner and executive creative director, and tied the work to the brand's heritage, summed up in its nickname, Big Blue. It was also a simple way for IBM to mark its territory in the commercial blur." Of course for ages color has played a significant role, it's just that recently companies are embracing it and coming to terms with the fact that it is a very important piece to their overall branding mix.
