Colours

Jönköping University brings together people from all over the world. Together, we colour life and make Jönköping University a colourful place of learning. Our base is purple, to which we add turquoise, dark blue, yellow, grey, black and white spices. The palette is common to the entire university.

Our identity colour is purple. It is particularly important in our work to convey our identity and brand. When we use the colour purple, we create recognition and stand out amongst other senders.

The profile colour can be used in different shades. We have developed colour codes for three lighter shades (-80, -50 and -20) and one darker (+20)
