UVA Health

Primary Colors

The color palette of UVA Health is a very important asset of our brand. The primary colors are derived from the University of Virginia brand and feature a combination of orange and blue. They are to be used in all full-color logos and across all communications and applications. The addition of white to the color palette is intentional, as the use of “white space” helps to create a clean, approachable feel.

These tints and shades of UVA Orange and UVA Blue help to add variation to a design and are to be used in combination with our primary colors. The colors should not be used in replacement of the University's primary color palette and should not overpower the design.

Tints and shades of UVA Orange and UVA Blue are best used for items that require dimension - for example, within charts and illustrations or for accents in digital applications.

 

Secondary Colors

Our secondary color palette contains shades that work harmoniously with our primary colors as accents or supporting colors but are also vibrant enough to work on their own. If a secondary color is used as the main or dominant color in an application, the UVA Health logo must appear prominently in the application.

  • Use only one secondary color in different tints in one application.
  • Combine the UVA blue as an accent with the secondary color.
