What are the official colors of the HHS Seal?

Answer

 
 USA Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) official seal displaying the name of the agency in a circle surrounding an image of an eagle with two faces forming the wing and body of the eagle.

The official colors of the Departmental Seal are Reflex Blue and Gold.

For two-color reproduction, the Seal appears in Gold on a circular field of Reflex Blue. WHITE OR OFF-WHITE is the only acceptable back-ground for two-color reproduction.

For single-color reproduction, the Seal may appear in Reflex Blue or in Black. [If special circumstances require uthe use of a different color, only full, deep colors are acceptable. No partial colors or screen tints are allowed.]

Sufficient contrast should be maintained between the Seal and the field on which it is reproduced. White is the preferred field when surprinting or overprinting the Seal.
