Some chains use color shelf-edge label holder strips as branding, to define product categories, or aid in store navigation. Here the Black-on-Black Retail Motif strategy is to blend with and support the look of the main fixtures. Either can be a successful tactic. You just need to choose what your ultimate store goal and branding is. The best manufacturers offer standard colors and will create custom colors at your requrest. Minimums may apply, as you can imagine. See the Black-on-Black Retail Motif thumbnail for a close look. Notice that the strip is a less expensive design with no roof overhang to keep out dust and dirt. ******
