KSRE/4-H Color Palettes

Submitted by Amy Sollock

Do you create your own social media posts or other promotional pieces? If so, it might be useful to have the correct color palettes with K-State colors and 4-H Grows True Leader Campaign. I recently shared this helpful resource at 4-H Program Rally, and it was suggested I share this with all Extension staff across the system. You can find it HERE.

Whether you're working in Word, PPT, Canva, etc., having the correct color codes (RGB, CMYK, or HEX) will ensure that your colors are aligned with university style guide and 4-H Grows Here campaign. If we rely on what appears on our screens, it can often print differently, or appear different on someone else's computer. Using the codes is a fool proof way of using the correct colors.

Another helpful tidbit? If using Canva, build your "brand palette" and every time you log in and design something, your colors are saved and you don't have to re-enter them each time. Upload each version of your customized wordmarks, and voilà! You're ready to go!
