Color Examples

Description

These are the offically supported colors for web properties of UCSF. Note they are used in "primary" and "secondary" main colors on many of the sites, although the other colors have been designed for complimentary look and feel. Future goals are to build out the suggested color combinations that ensure best practices for design and accessiblity. E.g, a light font used on a dark background.

Usage

Colors are the digital or interactive versions of the UCSF Brand master palette, and provide opportunities for greater contrast in order to meet W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) AA level color contrast standards. Font size and other key details still need to be considered when using colored backgrounds. Visit identity.ucsf.edu for precise use cases and applications.
