Official Colors
Albion College's official colors are Pantone Matching System 269 (purple) and 124 (gold). Care must be taken when specifying the College's official colors in other (non-print) media and specialty applications. The Communications Office can provide color swatches and other assistance to achieve the desired colors. In certain instances, metallic gold may be substituted for PMS 124, in consultation with the Communications Office.
