Color Standards
Our brand colors reflect our distinguished history and our forward-thinking community in health care. Using color is a simple and effective way to ensure that our materials reflect a cohesive UTHealth brand.


Color Usage
The UTHealth color palette can be used broadly in type, icons, illustrations, and graphic elements. Our main, traditional colors of UTHealth Orange, UTHealth Blue, and UTHealth Gray should be present in all UTHealth printed and digital materials. The secondary color palette and its tints should enhance and support the brand without overpowering our main, traditional colors. Tints and shades of the three traditional colors should be used with care. Black and white are always acceptable.
Color increases brand recognition and plays a fundamental part in creating a strong visual identity.
Color Palettes
Color consistency across all media is vital for a strong brand. Using the appropriate color conversion option is necessary to support the UTHealth image. A color conversion for all common forms of media is included in the UTHealth color palette swatches (Hexadecimal, CMYK, and RGB). Color palettes are available for download in the UTHealth Multimedia Library. See instructions below:
