Boston College Colors

office of marketing communications

The official Boston College colors are maroon and gold. In addition, black and red are also used as a part of the Graphic Identity System. Generally, black and gold can be used in all areas of a publication. Maroon is to be used only on publication covers as an accent color. Red is to be used only on the inside of documents as a spot color and only when black and gold are already in use. The colors below are approximations of actual ink colors. Their display on your monitor may differ dramatically from their actual printed color. Pantone Matching System (PMS) specifications, as well as Pantone process equivalents, are listed below the color swatches to ensure proper color matching.
