Colours and Typography

Colour

Colour is a strong motivator and often the most memorable aspect of a printed image. Consistent use of Ivey Business School primary colour palette is vitally important to our corporate identity and reinforces our promise to be one of Canada's pre-eminent university Faculties.

Green is an integral part of Ivey's history and identity.

Purple is integral to Western University as an educational institution and community.

Support colours to be used in conjunction with these two colours are gray, black and white as shown.

The restrained colour palette is essential to capturing and conveying the Ivey brand. Please do not use any unapproved colours, or create a new colour palette, if you require assistance please contact marketing@ivey.ca.

Note: Results may vary based upon computer colour profiles, substrate, printing processes and screen calibrations. Colour breakdowns should be proofed against the actual PMS swatches whenever possible.
