BC Colors

Consistent use of color is an important component of the Bellevue College visual identity. Approved color formulas for print and digital formats are next to each color chip. Always reproduce the official colors using the formulas specified. Do not use standard software translation values when converting colors to CMYK or RGB. This can introduce undesired variations and inconsistencies to the BC visual identity.

Primary Color Palette 

The BC primary color palette consists of blue and silver and should be the only colors used to reproduce the logo. If printing in a single PMS color, the one color (black & white) version of the logo is preferred.

Secondary Color Palette 

The secondary color palette celebrates the beautiful landscape and sustainable features of the BC campus. The palette consists of red, green, orange, gold, cyan, and dark blue. These colors can be used for subheads, backgrounds and other design elements. Use only one or two secondary colors within a single document. Avoid using green or gold for text on a white or light-colored background. The dark blue should be used primarily as a background color to achieve greater contrast. BC Blue should ALWAYS be used for the logo.
