Identity Toolkit - Color Palette
In addition to Washington State University’s crimson and grey school colors, WSU Extension will employ a rich chocolate brown, as its signature color. This color represents the organization’s approachability and warmth. Its contemporary expression gives WSU Extension a fresh, modern look that is in keeping with the rest of WSU’s palette. Two other colors round out the WSU Extension palette. Sky blue and sea green add breadth and sophistication to the WSU Extension brand. All together, the colors of the palette represent Extension’s traditional and current connection to the land and the environment.
In all two-color (or more) pieces, designers must use the WSU Extension brown in addition to one or more colors from the palette.
