UM Libraries' Web Color Palette
This information is for UM Libraries' Staff.
Colors
| #990000 | This red can be used as a color for heading text. |
#c9c8b8 |
This is the color used for the left menu bar when one exists on a page. It can be used occassionally elsewhere for accents. |
| #ffcc33 | Avoid using this color, as it will take away from its prominence in the header and footer. |
| #f2f0ef | Use this in a table when you need to subtly distinguish one row from the next (see also color below). |
| #fff0c1 | Use this in a table when you need to subtly distinguish one row from the next (see also color above). |
Optional Color Headings & Arrows
Do not use the <font> tag to change the color of your text--this tag is no longer valid in HTML 4.01. Instead, make use of the Libraries' style sheet (CSS), by following the examples below.
| Example HTML: | What Users See: |
|---|---|
| <h1 class="colorheading1">Red Main Heading</h1> | Red Main Heading |
| <h2 class="colorheading2">Red Sub-Heading</h2> | Red sub-heading |
| <h3 class="colorheading3">Red Sub-Heading</h3> | Red Sub-Heading |
| <span class="colortext">Red text</span> | Red text |
Another option is using red or gold arrows as bullet points:
| Example HTML: | What Users See: |
|---|---|
| <img src="/images/redarrow.gif" width="4" height="8" alt=" "> |  |
| <img src="/images/goldarrow.gif" width="4" height="8" alt=" "> |  |
