Colours and palette

Brand Central

Colours

Our colour palette reflects the confidence and clarity of the University of Greater Manchester brand. At its heart is Ox Blue, our anchor and most recognisable colour, supported by the vibrancy of Electric Blue and the balance of black, white, and tonal greys.

Together, they create a flexible system that works across digital and print, with tints providing depth and variation. Accent colours Cambridge, Naples, and Azul bring moments of warmth and distinction when used sparingly – with Azul reserved as the consistent colour for all links and buttons, ensuring a clear and accessible user experience.
