Toronto Tempo Color Codes
The official Toronto Tempo colors are commonly used across team branding, uniforms, digital graphics, fan designs, presentations and web projects. The table below lists the best available color values for HEX, RGB, CMYK and Pantone references. The two HEX values are taken directly from primary Toronto Tempo logo SVG files hosted on the official WNBA content delivery network. RGB values are exact mathematical conversions of those HEX values, while CMYK values are best available process-color estimates rather than official print specifications.
| Color Name | Pantone | HEX | RGB | CMYK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Borealis Blue | Not officially published | #B3C7E7 | 179, 199, 231 (Best available estimate from official HEX) | 23, 14, 0, 9 (Best available estimate) |
| Tempo Bordeaux | Not officially published | #441E36 | 68, 30, 54 (Best available estimate from official HEX) | 0, 56, 21, 73 (Best available estimate) |
Official-source note: Current Toronto Tempo uniform and court announcements identify the signature colors as Borealis Blue and Tempo Bordeaux. An earlier official WNBA merchandise announcement used the name Hydrogen Blue and shortened Tempo Bordeaux to Bordeaux. Because newer team communications consistently use Borealis Blue and Tempo Bordeaux, those names are used here. No publicly accessible official Toronto Tempo brand guide confirming Pantone or CMYK specifications was found.
Official references: Toronto Tempo identity announcement, official jersey announcement, official court announcement, official WNBA team profile, official Borealis Blue logo SVG and official Tempo Bordeaux logo SVG.
How to Use Toronto Tempo Colors
You can use the Toronto Tempo color codes for digital design, website elements, social media graphics, printable materials, fan artwork, presentations and sports-related content. HEX codes are typically best for websites, RGB values are useful for screens and digital design, while CMYK values are mainly used for print projects.
For a clear two-color hierarchy, use Tempo Bordeaux for strong headings, backgrounds or anchor elements and Borealis Blue for highlights, secondary panels or lighter accents. Always check text contrast before publishing. Light Borealis Blue generally needs dark text for readability, while deep Tempo Bordeaux usually works better with light text. These recommendations are practical design guidance, not official Toronto Tempo usage rules.
