Accent Colors
Although our primary palette should drive most Stanford communications materials, other colors can be added as appropriate. For those circumstances, we have developed this accent palette. These colors are intended to compliment our Stanford primary colors.
They should not become the predominant colors for a school, center, institute or department, but can be used as is or as inspiration for a custom secondary palette.
Palo Alto is the color used for the tree in the Stanford block S with tree emblem.
