Additional color considerations
The posibilities of color in design are nearly endless and hard and fast rules are difficult to make.
However a few suggestions:
1) Intermingling the maroon with the Yellow Gold can be a visually overpowering combination.
2) Because both maroon and gold are warm colors, balancing those colors with cooler hues can create a sophisticated
and versatile look.
Here are some examples of color use in university publications.
In example on the far left, a Bloomsburg’s maroon is overlaid in a block on metallic silver. Yellow gold is used for directional
elements on the page and a grassy green is used in the art elements.
In the center example, a deep green is used to suggest warmth and depth. Bloomsburg’s maroon and gold are featuring, along
with a pepper-orange color for “Vibrant.”
In the far right example, metallic gold headlines, white text and a tone of black is overlaid a black background for a subtle
understated look. Yellow is once again, used for directional elements.
