Color Chart

The primary palette consists of two colors, maize and blue. These colors may be used extensively both for large areas of color or as an accent color.

The colors of the secondary palette have been selected to compliment the primary colors. They were chosen to work well as accent colors, a suble background behind typography or other graphics, or in other situations where a restrained use of color is desired. Darker colors may be used for reverses.

The school's colors are based on the Pantone Matching System (PMS). Pantone colors are provided for coated and uncoated paper. Also provided are four-color process ink formulas (CMYK), color digital display values (RGB) and hexidecimal values for the web.

Brand Mark on Color Backgrounds

The school's brand mark can be presented on color backgrounds other than white. Use the examples below as guides for color breaks within the brand mark and suggested background colors.

  • When the background is the school blue - PMS 654 C/PMS 655 U - the "M" appears blue
    within a gold box - PMS 131 C/PMS 124 U (example A).
     
  • On other backgrounds, the "M" is always gold within a blue box
    (examples B, C, D).
     
  • The brand mark also may appear as a reverse (example E)
     
  • When selecting background colors, no elements of the brand mark should be obscured or made illegible by the background.
     
  • Use of the brand mark on red and orange (PMS 139 C, PMS 167 C, PMS 1805 C) should be avoided.

Note:  Although only the flush-left version of the brand mark is shown below, this information applies to all formats of the brand mark.
