Colour Palette

Metropolia’s colour palette is divided into primary and secondary colours.

The primary colour is Metropolia Orange, which should always be visible in all applications.

Dark grey is used exclusively for text.

In print applications using CMYK colours, the tones are not as intense as in digital RGB environments. PMS colours may be used in print to achieve more vivid colours.

Colour Combinations

Colours are used and combined in layouts according to the guidelines provided – these combinations ensure appropriate contrast.

Typography Colours

  • Ensure colour combinations in typography meet accessibility standards.
  • Orange may only be used as a text colour in large sizes (18 px and above).
  • For longer texts, dark grey should be used as the default text colour.
  • On an orange background, only headline-sized text is permitted.
