Colours

We have a large, versatile palette of colours which may be combined in various ways for maximum impact. Our colours are natural and strong, so we usually avoid tints. Colours are not owned by specific areas or departments, and there is no one colour which says ‘University of Reading’.

Technical information

Colours appear different depending on the method used to create them, and the material and environment in which they are viewed. This means there will be natural variations between brochures, banners and websites. Each colour has its own Pantone reference for print production, but we also have a palette of web equivalents, and can specify correct colour values for other projects e.g. RAL colours for metal.
