College Colors & Font for Websites

Some simple ways to get that “official look and feel” on your site are to choose a font and color scheme that is complimentary to the college logo.  Here are some suggestions for getting a professional look!

Fonts

The main pages of the college website use a combination of "Georgia" for headers and "Arial" for page content text.  There is no hard and fast rule on the exact font you use, however it is always best to keep it simple when it comes to font use. 

Overloading your site with too many different fonts can result in your page elements competing against one another. You should also consider selecting a font that is easy to read on a computer screen. The fonts used on the college site were selected with these guidelines in mind.

Official logo colors

The official colors of the Bellevue College logo for screen display are:

• Blue: (Hex) 003D79, (RGB) 0R 61G 121B

• Silver: (Hex) A7A9AC, (RGB) 167R 169G 172B

To get that official college “look and feel,” you do not necessarily need to use the blue and silver color tones.   Following the logo guidelines outlined in this guide should give your site an official presence.
