Custom Colour Palettes

Custom colour palettes can be applied by the Web Team. The use of custom colour palettes are subject to approval and will only be applied in cases where UCD branding is deemed inappropriate. All custom colour palettes must also be selected with Accessibility standards kept in mind. This means that there must be sufficient contrast between key light and dark colours that may be layered on top of each other across the Design Library components.

Colours need to be mapped to the existing colours and are not independently applied. This means that if a navy colour is mapped to a red colour in one area of the site, the corresponding colour mapping will occur across all other content types on the site.

For examples of additional custom colour palettes please see the image gallery below.

Colour Palette Examples

Variant 1 - Primary Purple
Variant 2 - Primary Blue

Custom Site Logo and Footer

Custom logos can be applied to the head and footer as seen at the top and bottom this page. These changes need to be applied by the Web team and are subject to the same criteria that limit who is entitled to an own brand site.

All footer information is editable to distinguish the own brand site from the regular UCD footer information.
