<p>Oberlin’s colors are mikado yellow and cardinal red. From a design perspective, we can’t make everything those two colors all the time for everything (gotta mix it up sometimes!), so we do also use a secondary palette of colors that are complimentary to our official colors. That deep brown and olive green are two of the colors we use regularly; even though they’re not our school colors, we love them dearly and we’re glad you do, too.</p>
