Colour
Vital for brand recognition, impact and cut-through, colour is a key feature of our brand identity. Our streamlined colour palette ensures no matter where our audience meets us, we’re distinctly Herts.
Our colour palette
Primary colours
Our primary colour palette should be the default for all main University communications including document creation in Microsoft 365 apps, merchandise, social media graphics and user interface design. Together these colours are undoubtably Herts and will foster trust and engagement in your activity.

Secondary colours
Our secondary colour palette features a broad range of colours selected to complement the primary palette. Colours from the secondary palette should be used only where clear distinction is necessary, for example when visualising multiple series of data, other complex information, or for embellishing designs led by the primary palette. These colours should never be used in place of the primary palette without prior consultation with Marketing and Communications.
