Supporting colours of the University of Nottingham, England/UK

Description

nottingham_2 provides the nine supporting colours and five corresponding tints (per colour) of the University of Nottingham, England/UK.

Usage

nottingham_2

Format

An object of class character of length 54.

Details

The supporting colours are accents. They add warmth and vibrancy and can elevate designs.

Inspired by the University of Nottingham campus, key brand messages and the city of Nottingham, nine colours build up the palette to complement the primary Nottingham blue (see nottingham_1).

The supporting palette should be used sparingly, with a maximum of two supporting colours in any one asset.

Where colour is used within an asset, Nottingham blue needs to be visually dominant and the supporting palette should be less than half of the make-up of colour within the asset.

Supporting colours can and should be used for campaigns and initiatives, to help audience recognition and aid navigation.

Users must choose the correct colour output for the asset and its usage (RGB for digital and CMYK for print), as values have been created to keep the most vibrancy in print and the best colour representation across digital channels.

Each colour has five tints that can also be used for variety and to assist legibility. HEX codes have been provided for each tint, and these should be used when creating digital artwork, rather than using opacity.

nottingham_2 uses the HEX color definitions.

Value

A named vector of colours (HEX/HTML codes of type character).
