Renfrewshire Council colours

The colours available on this page reflect our accessible digital palette. All the colours that can be used with text on them have been tested and are AAA compliant when used with white text.

The Hex, RGB and CMKY codes shown have been chosen specifically, so please use the correct one for your needs and do not convert the colours yourself. Hex is for web work, RGB is for digital/screen/presentation work, and CMKY is for print.

The design team also holds RAL codes for professional signage and painting. Please get in touch with the design team if you require these.

This special red is for emergency use, such as weather warnings and urgent information relating directly to public safety.

Digital vs print

For digital applications, always use the RGB values for each colour. If printing professionally (for example, at the Document Solution Centre), use the exact CMKY values specified. Hex codes are for web. You can request Pantone and RAL codes for professional use from the design team.
