UCLA Blue is used by the school's academic and administrative units, which is different from True Blue adopted by UCLA Athletics.[4] Distinguishing between academic and institutional graphic identities is common at major universities.[5] Still, journalists often refer to the UCLA sports teams' color as "UCLA Blue".[6][7][8][9]
