Massachusetts Institute of Technology brand colors
MIT red and silver gray were adopted in 1876 and remain the core of the identity. Beyond them MIT publishes one of the widest expanded palettes of any institution, nineteen further named colors in dark, mid and light triplets, intended for data and interface work rather than for identity.
