The University of Oklahoma’s official colors are Pantone 201(#B30838)and Pantone 468(#EEE1C5). The official colors look great in printhowever do not translate well to screen. Because of this we recommend Crimson (#841617) and Cream (#FDF9D8) be used in their places.

These colors work well as accents to Crimson and Cream.

Please refrain from using the color orange in your designs. Orange isone of the official colors of Oklahoma State University and burntorange is one of the official colors of the University of Texas.

When included, the official interlocking OU logo with inclusion of the registered mark ® should appear in all browser tabs and alone in url address bars (favicons).
The OU logo may appear in crimson, reversed out on a dark background. The logo should never be altered, animated, or appear in any other color. Anytime an OU logo is displayed, it must link back to the OU home page.


The OU seal, also a registered trademark of the University, is generally reserved for official University documents and is discouraged for use on most sites. It must be approved by the University’s Trademark Administration Committee before being used on pages. Care should always be taken when displaying the seal to maintain its integrity. The seal must never be animated or written over and should always be displayed at the highest quality. It must not be used as a background image for any Web site.
