Official Brand Colors Below are the official Pi Kappa Alpha brand colors and guidelines. Primary Colors Garnet PANTONE 188 C12 M95 Y59 K54 R119 G36 B50 100%-10% Tint Gold (Metallic) PANTONE 873 R139 G110 B74 100%-10% Tint Gold (Nonmetallic) PANTONE 7503 C10 M15 Y45 K28 R167 G158 B112 100%-10% Tint Garnet and gold are the primary PIKE colors and should be used more prominently than the secondary colors in PIKE branded materials. PANTONE 188 is the PIKE garnet and can be achieved as a spot color or CMYK process color in printed materials or through a RGB build for web purposes. When possible, use PANTONE 873 (metallic gold ink) for PIKE printed collateral. For web purposes, use the specified RGB build of PANTONE 873. If cost prohibits the use of a metallic ink, use PANTONE 7503 or the CMYK build of 7503 to achieve a nonmetallic match for PIKE gold in print. The RGB build of PANTONE 7503 can also be used in web applications as a secondary gold to 873. Secondary Colors Yellow PANTONE 1225 C0 M17 Y68 K0 R255 G203 B79 100%-10% Tint Black PANTONE Process Black C0 M0 Y0 K100 R30 G30 B30 100%-10% Tint Yellow and black are secondary colors in the PIKE palette and should be used minimally compared to the primary colors. Black can be used for most body copy, however, primary colors should be used to draw attention to key words, headlines and callouts when possible. Yellow should be used very selectively to highlight key information. Tints of all the brand colors can also be used in both print and web. Gradients created with tints of a single brand color or a brand color plus black are also permissible. The colors depicted on this page are not intended to match PANTONE standards. PANTONE is a registered trademark of PANTONE,

PIKE U Colors Below is a guide for how to utilize the official Pi Kappa Alpha brand colors in PIKE U branded materials.

This will easily distinguish PIKE U pieces from PIKE branded collateral. On PIKE U branded collateral with more content, use white as the primary background color for legibility. Garnet and gold are also considered primary colors in the PIKE U palette. When possible, use PANTONE 873 (metallic gold ink) in print. For web purposes, use the specified RGB build of PANTONE 873. Gold (Metallic) PANTONE 873 R139 G110 B74 100%-10% Tint Secondary Colors Gold (Nonmetallic) PANTONE 7503 C10 M15 Y45 K28 R167 G158 B112 100%-10% Tint Yellow PANTONE 1225 C0 M17 Y68 K0 R255 G203 B79 100%-10% Tint Nonmetallic gold and yellow are secondary colors in the PIKE U palette and should be used minimally compared to the primary colors. If cost prohibits the use of a metallic ink, PANTONE 7503 or the CMYK build of 7503 can be used in place of 873. The RGB build of PANTONE 7503 can also be used in web applications as a secondary gold to 873. Yellow should be used very selectively to highlight key information. Tints of all the brand colors can also be used in both print and web. Gradients created with tints of a single brand color or a brand color plus black are also permissible. The colors depicted on this page are not intended to match PANTONE standards. PANTONE is a registered trademark of PANTONE,
