When using our pink, blue or grey colours it's important to make sure you get them right. The easiest way to do this is to use one of the templates we've already created, as we know they are correct. But sometimes you may be making something from scratch and so need to know how to specify the right colours. This is done through colour codes - and depending on what you are doing there are different codes you might be asked for.
Online / Website / Digital
The two most popular codes for online and digital projects are:
- RGB - most likely you will use this if you are creating something in Word or Powerpoint
- HEX - hex colour codes are mainly used online for anything web related
Printed
The two most popular codes for printed projects are:
- CMYK - is how the majority of printers work (such as the colour photocopier in the General Office) and so should be used if you are printing posters (if the program you are using allows CMYK codes)
- PANTONE (PMS) - pantone is what industry professionals use to identify an exact colour, and is usually used for large print jobs where ink is mixed specifically for the project, such as our staff uniforms
Below are the colour codes for our colours. Unfortunately, as all devices are different the colours may not always match up perfectly between on-screen and print, but as long as you use the correct code for how you will distribute the end result of your project, it will look perfect.
