Color palette

While we’ll always be true to red and blue, our palette also includes four additional hues. Master the mixing of primary and complementary colors for designs with energy and impact.

Traditional SMU red and blue are the main colors of the palette, and four complementary colors breathe energy into the brand. This warm palette brings the brand personality to life by visually creating a bold and inclusive energy.

Red and blue are our primary colors. Yellow, teal, salmon and black are secondary. Color choices are dependent on the target audience. When designing for print, be sure to work closely with your printer as the type of paper and materials can affect color accuracy.
