COLORS
The traditional colors of NJCU are green and gold, represented in print by Pantone [TM] or PMS [TM] (Pantone Matching System) colors. The closest hexadecimal color equivalents are shown below.

Green: PMS 561=07574C
Gold: PMS 129=CC9900

A palette of additional ink colors are used in NJCU print publications. You may wish to include one or more of these additional colors in your web page to help project a consistent image.

Red: PMS 703=CC3333
Blue: PMS 659=6699CC
Violet: PMS 2577=9966CC
Orange: PMS 718=CC6600

FONTS
Graphically, consistent use of fonts goes a long way in projecting a unified institutional image. Futura is used in printed publications for NJCU and is recommended for headlines; Georgia is recommended for body copy in multimedia and web publications. An alternate choice is to use Helvetica for headlines and Times for body copy. (see below)
