Does anyone know some examples of where colour is used as a primary componant in a graphic design system?

The White Stripes — red, white and black
First that came to mind.
McDonald's also strongly uses their red and yellow as being pretty dominant. I suppose it depends on "how dominant" you're looking for.

Smells like homework. Entering "Colour in graphic design systems" and/or "colour is used as a primary componant" into Google and this thread pops up as the first result. Makes it easy for the instructor.
Hint: Look at wayfinding.

Pantone is the way to go.
That or use this as a quick cheat sheet: (take in mind these are RGB colors)
