Color Proportions

The primary color palette is the basis of the overall color scheme. Aggie Maroon should always have a strong presence. Secondary colors are used in smaller proportions and should never overwhelm the primary colors. Accent colors are utilized in small amounts to highlight or balance compositional elements. The segmented bars below represent the percentages of colors used in each piece.
