Celebrate Boise State by using our bold royal blue and bright orange in all of your marketing! Boise State’s colors have been blue and orange since 1932 and we display them proudly. Be sure to use our exact colors to keep the branding consistent and strong.
The Boise State official colors should be used on all materials produced in color and be a dominant part of any design to reinforce the Boise State brand.
Blue (Pantone 286 C) and Orange (Pantone 172 C) are the official colors of Boise State University. These colors are as important as the university name or logo in identifying the university and reflect our Brand Attributes. All printed materials, whether produced on coated or uncoated stock, should match color to the coated Pantone chips.

Neutral colors provide a visual framework for Boise State Blue and Orange as well as our vibrant images and graphic elements. As the name implies, they should recede, allowing other visual elements to dominate.
Neutral colors are ideal as backgrounds behind other visual elements such as photography, graphics and typography.
Always reproduce colors using the formulas specified in this guide. Do not use the standard software translation values when converting PMS colors to CMYK, RGB or hex.
Secondary colors, listed below, may be used in addition provided that they are used in small amounts (20% or less) as complementary accent colors. Secondary colors may not be used as alternatives to the university’s official colors.
