University Colors

In terms of consistency and identity, color plays a key role in building recognition. Use of the university’s official colors, Maroon (Pantone® 208), Gold (Pantone® 124), and Black, are critical when reproducing the university logo. Black is the preferred alternative when budget or context prevent use of the official three-color scheme.

Using the formulas specified will ensure the best color match on all computers. Do not rely on the output produced by a desktop color printer for matching the color when a project is to be printed on a printing press. The color calibration of desktop printers typically does not match the Pantone Matching System colors used by offset printers.

The university’s gold has been changed to Pantone® 124. The change reflects a more natural gold and better represents our history.

A secondary color palette is not recommended with the exception of the School of Law.
