Colors

Our signature color palette of Michigan Maize and Blue creates a powerful differentiator for our brand. Using this palette appropriately and consistently creates an additional layer of distinction. In general, the Block M is in maize and the type component is in white or blue.

PLEASE NOTE:

The U-M blue can turn purple and the yellow to orange when printed on some materials. To obtain the best color representation, please ask your printer to “match the PMS color” and provide you with a color proof (non-electronic).
