Supporting colours
Our supporting colours help in two ways:
- Create accents: Use supporting colours to make elements of your design stand out.
- Create visual variation: Use supporting colours to create variety and a fresh look within our visual identity.
The faculties can use a supporting colour as their primary colour. Each faculty has its own designated colour. This ensures that each faculty has its own visual identity.
The faculties can also use university blue instead of their supporting colour.
