Inspiration

The colors are inspired in part by my universities:

University Dark Blue Light Blue Dark Grey Light Grey Gold Orange
UCL #EA7600
UBC #002145 #00A7E1
Berkeley #003262 #3B7EA1 #888888 #EEEEEE #FDB515 #C4820E
Imperial #002147 #003E74 #9D9D9D #EBEEEE #EC7300
Rice #00205B #ADC7DC #7C7E7F #E0E2E6 #E9A139
Georgetown #041E42 #003DA5 #63666A #BBBCBC
Average #00234F #2E7BB1 #818283 #DDDEDF #F3AB27 #DE7904

Note that UBC has hex codes and RBG codes that don't match. I used the hex codes. A spreadsheet doing the math is in E:\projects\WebDesign\Colors.xlsx

Icons

There are some very good icon repositories online. I used https://remixicon.com/, which provides icons under the Apache license. Specifically, I choose:

  •   book-open
  •   user-3
  •   settings-5

The McNair Center Branding used a variant on the Baker Institute's colors, which had obvious issues.
