North Carolina A&T State University

Our Color Palette

These guidelines outline the information you’ll need to properly express the university brand colors. We have provided a series of color formulas to ensure that each brand color is rendered appropriately and consistently across digital and printed media.

PRIMARY COLORS

Aggie Blue and Aggie Gold are the primary brand colors and should be clearly featured when color is used. Always reproduce the official colors using the formulas specified in this guide. Do not use the standard software translation values when converting PMS colors to CMYK or RGB.

CMYK VS. PMS VS. HEX

CMYK, PMS and HEX color values are meant for different mediums—and can result in inaccurate colors if you use the wrong one. To ensure your color values display accurately and are consistent with the A&T brand, choose the appropriate value for the intended use and printing method of your marketing piece.

CMYK

For nearly all print work, use the CMYK values listed below for the most accurate brand color reproduction.

PMS

Also used for print work, the PMS value is based on the Pantone Matching System®. It should only be used when printing spot colors (limited use).

HEX

HEX values should only be used when reproducing brand colors on the web, in a digital, RGB environment.
