Color Palette
Color Distribution
Our primary color palette should lead all branded materials. Secondary colors may be used sparingly for accents. Tertiary colors are reserved for limited applications, such as charts, graphs, and data visualization, and should not be used for major design elements.
When using UTMB’s official color palette, pay close attention to the proportion of each color. The goal is to maintain a clean, balanced, and professional look that reflects UTMB’s trusted reputation.
