Guide: how to use WSCA color themes

When creating or ordering any graphic material for WSCA in color, please, make sure that your artwork is created with WSCA official color theme(s). Mix-and-match of lighter and darker hues is permissible, but the substitution of one of the main colors shall be avoided.

Exceptions: 3-rd party publications with their own color theme. In this case, use black-and-white version, which the 3-rd party will color according to their theme. For print ads see Avatars, square ads or Ads.

The tables with the color indices are below. HEX, RGB, CMYK indices are used for print/web design, PANTONE is for high quality printing.

If you want to color the logos and text yourself with Adobe Photoshop, use Adobe Photoshop palette file .
