Color

Richmond’s bold red and blue make up a central component of the University’s brand. They are the primary palette and should always be represented. Four secondary colors are available to complement the primary red and blue. These four secondary colors should be used as accents and should never stand alone or dominate a composition or webpage.

PMS-to-CMYK conversions are approximate and may result in some color shift between the two. Choose the color model appropriate to the type of collateral you are creating. If you are using CMYK, RGB, or HEX models, for best results please choose the values indicated here, rather than auto converting a PMS build within your software.
