Process Color Ink Formula
The Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black (CMYK), formula for Matador Red (PMS 201) is:
C:0 M:100 Y:35 K:64
The words “California State University” are Black. The word “Northridge” is PMS 201, or “Matador Red.”


If only one color is used in the reproduction, then the entire Word Mark should be printed in 100% color. For instance, if Black is the only color used, the entire Word Mark should appear in 100% Black.
If the background is darker than 50% color, then the entire Word Mark may be reproduced as a reverse out, or 100% white over the dark background.
The Word Mark must never be reproduced in screens or tints, and should always be reproduced in solid colors.
