http://graphicdesign.about.com/library/color/spot/blspot10.htm - This color combination gives an environmental feel to any piece. It can be great for a (environmentally friendly) corporate feel when used full strength and with heavy applications. This combination can be particularly effective if you screen back the black to 50% (or use PMS Cool Gray 9) and reverse some text out of the PMS 5777.
