PennWest Color Palette

Our color palette is key in keeping the PennWest brand cohesive and recognizable.PennWest Blue, Light Blue and Deep
Blue should appear most prominently across our materials.

Secondary colors should be used as:

  • Stroke colors for brand devices (such as replacing light blue with gold or red)
  • A way to highlight key information or add subtle visual interest
  • Draw attention to important elements (such as calls to action)
  • Light Blue Only: as an overlay using brand devices on images
