Beyond our logo, color is the most recognizable aspect of our brand. Our color palette helps audiences identify us at a glance. The way we use color sets the mood for each piece and reflects our heritage and surroundings. Our communications draw on three color palettes to unite them.

Note: Many of these colors should look familiar because most of them, including the primary orange and blue, have not changed. Several colors in the secondary and accent palettes have changed, so even if they look similar to those you’ve used in the past, use this guide to ensure that you are using the correct colors.

COLOR RATIOS

Our color palette is bold and distinctive. It relies primarily on our heritage colors of orange and blue – and generous white space. Secondary colors are used for deeper content levels in layouts and for breaking up headlines. We create a modern look that elevates our momentum by leaning on our heritage colors and plenty of open space.

Note: Always use the color values listed in this section when using color builds. They have been adjusted for the best screen and print reproduction and may not match Pantone Color Bridge breakdowns.

OUR COLORS

At our core, we are orange and blue. As part of our brand’s visual language, we express that in all its forms by expanding the flexibility of these two colors.

With that in mind, this palette unifies the brand’s colors, reflecting our institution’s philosophy and mission.

Note: Always use the color values listed in this section when using color builds. They have been adjusted for the best screen and print reproduction and may not match Pantone Color Bridge breakdowns.

GRADIENTS

Two color gradients are available for use. They pair our Core Blue with Dark Blue and our Core Orange with Alachua.

Note: Premade gradient swatches are available for download at our online brand center. Go to Downloads, and under Brand Toolkit, choose Color Swatches. To build your own, please follow the guidelines pictured below.

SECONDARY PALETTE

Orange and blue should drive most marketing, campus, and alumni materials, but sometimes other colors are needed. For those circumstances, we have developed this secondary palette.

These colors are best suited for internal communications, but they may also be used in long-form communications where more colors are needed for variety, infographics, and icons. Large fields of these colors should be avoided. Be sure that our primary orange and blue are always the most prominent colors.

Under no circumstances should any of these colors become the predominant color for a school, center, institute, or department.

NEUTRAL PALETTE

Neutral tones can add depth, warmth, sophistication, and richness to our communications. Note, however, that white should be used more frequently and prominently than these neutrals.

Also, note that we use black only for long passages of body copy. Never use it in any other way.

Note: White is an indispensable color. Rather than viewing it as a blank area, see it as a break. Please don’t rush to fill it: it can focus attention on what is there rather than drawing attention to what isn’t. Always balance color, typography, and graphic elements with open space.

USING COLOR

Using color is an easy way to evoke energy and emotion within our communications. Use these guides as a reference for using color to convey a particular mood and for applying our palette with restraint and consistency.

COLOR SPECTRUM

This illustrates the color applications of four desired outcomes. These particular color combinations are not dictates; instead, these spectrums demonstrate the proportional adjustments to be made throughout a designed piece.

COLOR NUMBERS

DIGITAL PALETTE

Like printed colors, screen-based colors should be consistent across multiple pages and sites, and a limited color palette is well-suited for digital applications.

All communications should follow the brand’s core color palette. The hexadecimal values of our core palette have been optimized for accessibility on light and dark backgrounds, which can be found above.

To learn more about using the UF Brand Colors with dark mode, download the following presentation: Designing for Dark Mode.

Color Consistency:
Hexadecimal values are derived from the Pantone Color Bridge system to ensure that colors are consistent from their original selection to print and screen applications.

Note: Adjusted for AA Normal Text Compliance (tested on webaim.org color contrast checker). These colors do not use the formulas recommended by Pantone Color Bridge.

AA-COMPLIANT COLOR FORMULAS FOR SCREEN APPLICATIONS

Ensuring adequate text and visual media contrast can help people with visual impairments navigate content more easily.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) provide a set of international standards developed by the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C), the web’s governing body.

AA Level compliance is a vital contrast standard for displaying text and images in both the foreground and the background. The goal of these accommodations is to help ensure that our online content is equally accessible and user-friendly
to all users.

Because of their quick impact and smaller size, communication pieces on the web (such as web ads) should only feature our orange and blue colors. At the right, we’ve outlined a short list of compliant and non-compliant color pairings for our core colors.

This list is not comprehensive; it’s essential to check accessibility for every piece you create. For additional guidance on web accessibility, visit webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker.

Note: Large text is typically defined as 14 points or larger and bold.

Reviews for "Discover the Magic in Every Bite: Soul Food Menu Ideas"

1. John - 1 out of 5 stars:

I was really looking forward to trying Magic Soul Food Menu based on all the positive reviews I had read, but I was severely disappointed. The food was bland and lacked any real flavor. I ordered the fried chicken and it was dry and tasteless. The sides were equally disappointing - the mac and cheese was watery and lacked cheesiness, and the collard greens were overly salty. The service was slow and inattentive as well. I won't be coming back here anytime soon.

2. Mary - 2 out of 5 stars:

I had high hopes for Magic Soul Food Menu, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The menu options were limited and the portion sizes were quite small for the prices charged. I ordered the barbecue ribs and was underwhelmed by the lack of flavor. The meat was tough and dry, and the sauce tasted like it was store-bought. The service was mediocre at best, with servers seeming uninterested and unfriendly. Overall, it was an average dining experience at best and I don't think I'll be returning.

3. Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars:

I had heard mixed reviews about Magic Soul Food Menu, so I decided to give it a try. The food was just not up to par. The fried catfish I ordered was overcooked, resulting in a tough and rubbery texture. The flavors were also lacking, as the seasoning was minimal. The portion sizes were small and definitely not worth the high prices. The service was average, nothing particularly noteworthy. Overall, it was an underwhelming dining experience and I won't be recommending it to others.
