Question about Contest entry's colours

Hi everyone, I'm a newbee here so I'm quite unfamiliar with entering the contests. I have a question about the colour mentioned in contests' brief.

Does that mean that we can only use those colours mentioned in the brief in our entry? Or those colours are a must-have and we can add other colours?

Can you please clarify this for me? Thanks in advance.

They can be suggestions, favorites, or requirements. Ask the CH. 

Hello WinterWind,

The colors mentioned in the brief are often just guidelines and you can use any colors you like. Always read the brief - the CH will write if those colors are a must or if he/she just likes them.

Cheers,

Iridith

Oh, I got it. Thanks Meow and Iridith so much for answering my question.
