RGB values define how red, green and blue light combine to display each team color on digital screens. Because screens vary by device, brightness and color calibration, the same RGB value may look slightly different across phones, monitors and televisions.

Because the Pacers do not publicly provide a complete official CMYK specification in the official sources reviewed for this article, these CMYK values should be treated as practical design estimates. Print output can vary by printer, paper, ink profile and production method, so always test colors before final production.
Indiana Pacers Pantone Colors
Pantone values are useful when designers need consistent color matching across professional print and branding materials. The best available Pantone estimates for the Indiana Pacers are Pantone 289 C for navy blue, Pantone 1235 C for gold and Pantone Cool Gray 5 C for cool gray.
These Pantone values are not confirmed as officially published Pacers specifications in the official team or NBA public sources reviewed for this guide. Use them as best available references, not as official brand standards.
Official Color Context
The Pacers have officially described their identity through blue and gold in multiple team-published references. The team has stated that blue and gold were chosen because they reflect the colors of the Indiana state flag, and official Pacers uniform pages continue to reference Royal Blue and Gold in team uniform and court design descriptions.
The Pacers have also published that gray was added as a tertiary accent color in a previous uniform update. Because official public pages confirm the color names but do not publish a complete technical color table, this article separates confirmed color identity from estimated production color values.
Design Tips for Indiana Pacers Color Combinations
- Use navy blue as the main background or dominant brand color when you need a strong Pacers-inspired look.
- Use gold for highlights, buttons, borders, icons and key calls to action.
- Use cool gray as a supporting neutral when you need balance between dark blue and bright gold.
- For readability, use high contrast between text and background colors, especially when using gold on white or gray backgrounds.
- For print projects, request a physical proof before full production because estimated CMYK and Pantone matches may vary.
