Primary Colors
Our primary colors are the core of our color palette. They create a strong, recognizable foundation for the brand and should appear in most major communications as the anchor of our visual system. The supporting tints (blues and oranges) add depth and flexibility. They help create hierarchy and soften layouts.
- WVC Blue represents trust, stability and academic excellence. This is our anchor color.
- Viking Orange brings energy and momentum. It captures the school pride and spirit of our students.
- WVC Charcoal Grey is our primary font color. It is professional yet approachable. It should be used as the default font color for all PowerPoint presentations, body copy on print materials and website or digital assets with long-form text.
Secondary Colors
Our secondary colors work alongside our primary colors, adding flexibility and vibrancy. Use them to highlight key content, add visual interest, bring energy to layouts and support the primary palette.
In most designs, the secondary colors should play a supporting role, not compete with the primary colors. Avoid using too many secondary colors in a single layout, as this can feel overwhelming and dilute the brand. They work best as accents, to create emphasis, guide the viewer’s eye or differentiate content sections.
- WVC Green represents growth and possibility.
- WVC Berry adds boldness and individuality.
- WVC Yellow reflects optimism and opportunity.
- WVC Light Blue conveys openness and approachability.
- WVC Dark Blue reinforces integrity and focus and complements the primary blue while adding contrast.
- WVC Off-White provides warmth and breathing room and a clean layout when used as a background color.
