Color Trending

MC is at the height of fashion this year, according to color experts at the Pantone Color Institute. The institute, a consulting service with Pantone, chose a shade of purple (18-3838 ultra violet) akin to MC’s official color (Pantone 2617) as 2018 color of the year. Each year, the institute forecasts global color trends and advises companies on color in brand identity and product development.

MC first used purple—along with black, white, and grey/silver—in 2012, when it reorganized its athletic programs in compliance with NJCAA association rules (NJCAA allows only one of each athletic team per institution). That change was followed by a new athletic logo, mascot, and College logo.
