Colour Palette

In order to make an informed decision on my colour scheme, I researched into the colours often used and found in Bristol:

University of Bristol

The University of Bristol's primary colours are white, red and black. However after researching into a colour palette for my publication I came across the colour swatches that the university use for their website.

The University has developed a new visual identity, based on a standard supporting palette of 16 colours. All the sites aim to adhere to this colour scheme. Any sites that are not schools, faculties, departments or research groups will use the core palette of red, white and black.

BRISTOL CITY COUNCIL (UA) (GLOUCS):

• 'VIRTUTE EN INDUSTRIA' translates into 'By virtue and industry.'
• Recorded and confirmed 24th August 1569 - Badge granted 16th February 1983.

The triadic colour scheme harmonises the composition using muted and traditional tones that reflect how long ago it was created.

This is translated onto the crest of Bristol City Football Club. Same consistent use of colour palette modernised and simplified:

I aim to continue using these Bristol colours to create unity between the city and my publication.
