Color palette

Retaining Messiah navy blue and white as our primary colors, the University has added a light blue and a gray as secondary colors for its institutional brand palette. To match the gray secondary color, if a metallic is needed, silver is the approved metallic color.

When Messiah refreshed its brand with its university status launch in 2020, we expanded our palette to include brighter tertiary colors to strengthen our vibrant stained glass window theme. These tertiary colors in warm and cool palettes also combine to form beautiful gradients of integrated color--representing the mixing of ideas and the illuminating effect of light shining through stained glass.
