Color ratios Lyon College intentionally limits the amount of color to be used per page of document. Lyon Navy should be employed for large coverage areas such as book covers, banners, or folders. Crimson may also be used with the express permission of the Marketing and Communications Office. When using the official colors together, limit the use of Crimson to 30% per page, and Gold to 10%. Excess amounts of Crimson can result in a very warm, off-putting design and can easily be lost in the stack of other red-themed materials from other institutions within the state. Gold should be used only as an accent to highlight certain elements in a design.
