Color Identity

Primary Colors

Color is a critical institutional identifier. Gold, Silver, Black and White are the primary colors for the University of Idaho.

Our main gold is Pride Gold. This vibrant color helps U of I’s materials stand out and have strong visual appeal.

Metallic Gold

Metallic Gold can only be used when printing with Pantone 871 on a coated paper. CMYK, RGB or Hex conversions are not permitted for Metallic Gold.

Accent Colors

An accent color palette has been developed to add depth and flexibility to the university’s primary color palette. It should complement the university colors, but never be applied as the primary color in a piece or campaign.

Color Hierarchy

It is important to maintain a sense of hierarchy, balance and harmony when using the U of I color palette. Accent colors should not make up more than 25 percent of any complete design, and Pride Gold should always be in marketing materials.

For assistance using the accent color palette, please contact the Creative Services team.
