The 8 complementary colours are a way for faculties to distinguish themselves from each other and for the university to have a strong visual organization system. They're used in faculty materials to support and complement the core colours (of uvic_1).

HEX colour definitions are used for web, RGB colour definitions are used for electronic displays.
