Primary Colors

Electronic displays (LCD screens, CRT monitors, etc.) may display colors slightly differently than they would appear in print. Gold is a particularly challenging color. As such, an alternate gold has been provided for electronic applications.

Secondary Colors

The secondary color palette is provided to aid the design of communications that reflect the University of Notre Dame’s brand in tone and style through consistent use of color.

Although the University’s primary colors are blue and gold, marketing communications can be made more effective and compelling with a more flexible and sophisticated use of color harmony and contrast. The colors shown below are rendered on screen from official Hex values. Printed tones will vary.

These secondary colors can help complement the core spirit of the Notre Dame primary colors.
