Trzy Kolory is the name of a (fictional) retrospective of Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieślowski (1941–1996) held in Paris at La Cinemathèque Française. Best known for his enigmatically beautiful trilogy in which each film is named after the colours of the French flag—blue, white and red, which stand for the tenets "Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity"—Kieślowski's Trzy Kolory (Three Colours) has become a benchmark of contemporary cinema.

A distinctive and bold type-based identity promotes the retrospective through posters, signage, flags, booklets and printed synopsis. The deliberate use of a condensed grotesque typeface (Railroad Gothic) set in all-uppercase in only four different sizes reflects Kieślowski's sober and refined approach to directing, but also echoes the aesthetics of Czech and Polish postwar posters. The accompanying leaflets enhance the subtleties of the campaign's simple style, through a straightforward typographic treatment usingNeuzeit Office, a delicate typeface readable at small sizes.
