Brand Colors

Brand Color Sample

A strong brand can be identified quickly by its usage of color. Since the mind interprets this non-verbal communication often faster than one can interpret content, the language of color can deliver powerful messages to reinforce the brand.

Stockton’s secondary color palette consists of a variety of strong colors to accent the primary colors.

When used effectively, Stockton’s color scheme reinforces the value and maintains a positive association with our brand. To maximize the effectiveness of your message using Stockton colors, incorporate the following into practice:

  • Be intentional. Colors should be used with a purpose, perhaps to highlight, coordinate, or distinguish.

  • Maintain balance in application. Over or under usage of color can detract from the message, producing a feeling of clutter or emptiness.

  • Enhance the brand’s recognition. The coordination of Stockton’s primary and secondary colors should always represent the “Stockton look,” easily detectable even in the absence of identifying content.
  • Represent Stockton’s personality. Use color to promote our personality… engaging, friendly, visionary. • Remember color perceptions. Colors evoke experiences, and when used appropriately, can convey the sentiment of your message.
      • Black suggests discipline, power, sophistication, confidence
      • White symbolizes new beginnings, innocence, completeness, efficiency
      • Blue indicates trust, reliability, confidence, perseverance
      • Yellow signifies enthusiasm, creativity, illumination, fun
