Texas A&M Unveils Exciting New Color Scheme

This past Thursday, the Board of Regents unveiled plans to change the color scheme of all future Texas A&M University buildings. They have made the bold decision to base all future color schemes on Pantone 4004 C instead of Pantone 4005 C, the shade that has been utilized since the university’s inception.

Chancellor John Sharp expressed excitement when asked about the change. “We really think that this color change will make the campus appear more lively. There’s something about the light, playful orange notes in Pantone 4004 C that makes it so much warmer and more inviting than the old color,” Sharp said. 

Texas A&M University sent a campus-wide email advising students to avoid looking directly at new buildings when they are in full sun. “We don’t yet know how this color is going to shine in the sunlight,” said Martha Dannenbaum, the director of Student Health Services.  “It would be a shame for someone to get hurt because of how bright and dazzling the new color is.” 

“I feel so much more alive,” said Alyssa Martin, a junior turfgrass science major. “When I look at the new buildings, I feel like the sun is shining directly on my heart. The new color scheme actually made me want to register for 8 a.m. classes just so I could see them glow in the sunlight. I call it the 4004 C hour.”
