Important Accuracy Note
The Houston Rockets brand guide provides official digital and process color information for the core palette. Pantone values were not available from the accessible official sources checked for this article, so Pantone entries are listed as “Not officially published in accessible official sources” rather than being presented as official team specifications. Some third-party websites list Pantone matches, but those values should be treated as non-official unless confirmed directly by the Rockets, NBA Properties or an official brand usage sheet.
