We have added language under the header UO Print Services Color Adjustments in the color portion of the visual identity section on the Oregon Brand Guide website. The added information provides instructions for color builds when sending files to UO Print Services to help ensure accurate color reproduction when using their equipment.

This additional information addresses confusion campus designers had expressed regarding discrepancies with the color values published on the Oregon Brand Guide website and the Adobe Swatch Exchange (.ase) files provided via download for UO Green and UO Yellow. The color values in the .ase file were updated to better clarify the standard color palette and the palette specific to UO Print Services.

In summary:
