Today’s Tip:

Just because your university colors are red and black it doesn’t mean those are the only colors you can use. First and foremost make sure your site is usable, scannable and then add your primary colors. As long as you are not going completely off the mark your brand will still come through. A large majority of institution’s colors don’t translate directly to the web. The best bet is to make sure your colors come through in a rich and professional way, no need to be pixel perfect at the cost of usability.
