Style Guide

Color Palette

Use the following palettes for branding consistency. Please share these color codes with your designer/printer so they can match the colors as closely as possible.

What do the numbers on the color palette mean?

Colors are specified using numbers. We use three different color systems to define our colors. 

CMYK: Commercial printers and some desktop printers express colors as a mix of four inks, cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK). Use CMYK colors when creating printed projects.

RGB: Computer screens express colors as a mix of red, green, and blue (RGB). RGB is commonly used to set up UC ANR colors in Microsoft's Word, Excel and Powerpoint. 

HEX: Commonly used to specify colors on websites
