The official University Colors are Gold, White and Navy.
Color Origins
Inspired by the selection of the daisy as the official school flower in 1893, the first school colors were gold and white. In 1987, navy was added to the color palette to provide better visual contrast to publications, merchandise and athletic uniforms.
Color Applications
Critical to the success of the University's identity is strict and proper use of the color palette. With today's increase in print production processes and more mainstreamed digital applications, it is important to select the appropriate color formula to ensure accurate reproduction.
