Our Colors

Our palette is based on both the traditional NIC school colors (maroon and gray) and the colors of our natural surroundings in North Idaho. When using the gray/silver color, the gray should be printed using black at 40%, and silver should be printed using metallic ink in accordance with the Pantone (PMS) 877 color.
