Ohio University brand colors

Ohio University names its greens after the campus itself: Cutler Green for the college green, Under the Elms for the darker shade, Cupola White for the paper. The guide is explicit that Cutler Green should dominate and the other two act as accents. CMYK throughout, no Pantone.
