The school colors of navy blue, meteor blue, and gold were chosen by the first president and dean of College Misericordia in 1924. “Meteor blue” is a vibrant light blue or pale azure blue.

The Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume (IBAC) probably assigned a three-color hood lining pattern to College Misericordia in the late 1950s. A 1972 list from the Bureau described it as navy blue above light blue, divided by a reversed (or “inverted”) gold chevron. The IBAC may have inverted Misericordia’s chevron to avoid confusion with a very similar hood lining design the Bureau had assigned to Southeastern Oklahoma State University.
