The Akron Blue and Gold
Our color palette is designed to build around our primary Akron Blue and Gold. While this palette is limited, it offers the versatility needed to keep communications looking fresh and dynamic.
These are our core colors. They identify our school and should be the most prominent colors in any piece:
Blue (PMS 282 C)
RGB 4 30 66
CMYK 100 90 13 68
HEX/HTML #041E42
Gold (PMS 7503 C)
RGB 168 153 104
CMYK 10 15 50 29
HEX/HTML #A89968
Metallic Gold for print only (PMS 871 C) - or 7503 flat gold
These colors add variety to the brand. The cream color provides a nice, warm foundation when used in large floods for background areas. The bright blue contrasts nicely with the deeper Akron Blue and can be used on top of darker blue backgrounds, or in headlines or subheads.
