Color Palette
OFFICIAL PRIMARY COLOR PALETTE
OSU’s official colors shown here are Pantone 021 with four-color process, RGB and hexadecimal color builds. Pantone 021 is for all print media and surfaces, including uncoated and matte-coated stock.
Designers must adjust the primary mark to the correct shade of orange according to the material coating and medium in which it will be printed.
OFFICIAL SECONDARY COLOR PALETTE
Secondary colors may be used in marketing and social media materials, but should never supercede the primary color palette. Be mindful that these colors are only meant to support orange and black.
Use the color formulas here for all print and web-related color specification. Send questions about the color palette to brandosu@okstate.edu.
