Details

The 4 primary colors are "Berkeley blue" (defined as HEX #003262, CMYK 100/71/10/47, Pantone 282), "California gold" (defined as HEX #FDB515, CMYK 0/32/100/0, Pantone 123), "Founders rock" (defined as HEX #3B7EA1, CMYK 76/34/21/0, Pantone 7697), and "Medalist" (defined as HEX #C4820E, CMYK 0/34/98/12, Pantone 7550).

The primary palette is broken into heritage and alternate heritage colors.

The primary colors, called heritage colors, are Berkeley blue and California gold. They represent Berkeley at the highest level and should be present in all communications. These colors look best as spot inks, and do not reproduce as richly in four-color process. Never use screens or tints of heritage colors.

The alternate heritage colors were created to expand the primary palette. They may be used to complement the primary heritage colors but should never completely replace them as main representations of Berkeley. For example, Medalist may replace California gold in situations where a darker gold is needed.

See the Color manual for accessible and suitable combinations.
