Color System

Colors in this palette are recommendations for use in San Francisco State University publications, promotional materials and web pages. Consistent use of these colors will contribute to a cohesive and unified look. The chart lists the Pantone ink with the equivalent 4-color and electronic conversions.

The primary color palette is extended by using the secondary color palette. These were designed to allow individual departments to choose a variety of colors while maintaining a uniform palette across the SF State campus. The primary colors should be used whenever possible and should always be the dominant scheme to the secondary palette.
