“Can you try a different colour? Any colour.”
What they really mean: I dislike this one and have no replacement in mind.

Subject: Re: Colour options
Hi [Name],
I can do that. "Any colour" gives me a lot of room, so I'll narrow it with your brand in mind and send [number] options in one go.
If you tell me how it should feel (calm, bold, premium, friendly), I'll aim the options at that. More rounds of trying colours at random go beyond the agreed revisions, so I'd like to get it right in this one.
Best,
[Your name]
Before you send
- Replace every [bracket] with real details: the client's name, your fee, number of revisions, dates.
- Check it against your quote or contract. The reply is strongest when it points to what you both agreed.
- Match the tone to the relationship. For a long-term client, soften the second paragraph. For a repeat offender, keep it as is.
