[edit] UNH Blue

A non remarkable shade of blue, that seems popular as it is (or close to) Pantone Matching System No. 288 and seems popular in logos/colour schemes and similar with yellow or white. I have not been able to find any verification that this name (UNH Blue or University of New Hampshire Blue) is actually used beyond (or even by) the University of New Hampshire, also on a side point other groups also seem to clam this as their shade of blue like Pace University. blue520 13:25, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - I don't see any reason to have this outside of an article on UNH. How much can you really say about a shade of blue? --Ajdz 04:51, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Doesn't deserve its own article. Chonak 08:30, 24 April 2006 (UTC) (UNH '79)
• Merge - Should be merged into a color Blue article having the nearest shade. The color is used by UNH, but beyond that I do not know. --Assawyer 15:03, 24 April 2006 (UTC) (UNH '05)
• Merged information into University of New Hampshire. UNH Creative Services confirms that the color in its logo is indeed Pantone 288 but the web page does not use the term UNH Blue. The color is indeed widely used. My impression from a Google search is that the term UNH Blue appears only in sports articles, more to refer to teams than to the specific color.
