Details

Queen’s University is widely recognized for its unique Tricolour palette of blue, gold, and red. These three colours are the essence of the Queen’s brand and are designated as the primary colours.

Tricolour must be incorporated into all applications in a mindful way that allows the message and imagery to be the focus.

The three primary colours are "queens_blue" (defined as PMS 295, CMYK 100/63/0/67, RGB 0/36/82, HEX #002452), "queens_gold" (defined as PMS 124, CMYK 0/29/100/1, RGB 250/189/15, HEX #fabd0f), and "queens_red" (defined as PMS 187, CMYK 0/100/74/26, RGB 185/14/49, HEX #b90e31).

queensu_1 uses the HEX colour definition. PMS and CMYK colours differ from RGB and HEX definition.
