The official NCAA school profile lists Alabama’s colors as Crimson and White. The University of Alabama’s official brand guide identifies Crimson Flame, Capstone Gray and Victory White as its primary brand palette. Therefore, this guide treats Crimson and White as the core team colors and Capstone Gray as an official supporting university brand color.
The table below lists the best available color values for HEX, RGB, CMYK and Pantone references. Values for Crimson Flame and Capstone Gray are published by the University of Alabama. The official brand page names Victory White but does not publish numeric HEX, RGB, CMYK or Pantone specifications for it, so conventional digital and print-white values are labeled as best available estimates.

How to Use Alabama Crimson Tide Colors
You can use the Alabama Crimson Tide 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 team-focused design, use Crimson Flame as the dominant identifying color and Victory White for contrast, typography or open space. Capstone Gray can work as a supporting neutral for borders, backgrounds, charts or secondary information. The University of Alabama advises that its primary colors should be used in marketing and advertising materials, while secondary colors should be used sparingly.
Color codes do not grant permission to use protected Alabama names, logos or trademarks. Commercial merchandise, paid advertising and official-looking branded materials may require authorization or a licensed vendor. Review the University’s official logo and trademark guidance before commercial use.
Alabama Crimson Tide HEX Color Codes
The main Alabama Crimson Tide HEX color codes in this guide are #9E1B32 for Crimson Flame, #828A8F for Capstone Gray and #FFFFFF as the best available estimate for Victory White. Crimson Flame and Capstone Gray are officially published University of Alabama values. The white value is a standard digital white reference because the official brand page does not publish a numeric HEX code for Victory White.
HEX codes are commonly used in HTML, CSS, website builders, presentation themes, email graphics and digital design tools. For accessible web layouts, test crimson-and-white combinations for sufficient contrast, especially when using smaller text or lighter font weights.
Alabama Crimson Tide RGB Color Codes
The officially published Alabama RGB values are 158, 27, 50 for Crimson Flame and 130, 138, 143 for Capstone Gray. A standard RGB estimate of 255, 255, 255 can be used for Victory White, but that numeric white value is not published on the official University of Alabama color page.
RGB color codes are useful for screen-based designs, including social media posts, digital banners, video graphics and presentation slides. RGB values define how red, green and blue light combine to display each color on digital screens. Final appearance can still vary by monitor calibration, brightness and color profile.
Alabama Crimson Tide CMYK Color Codes
The officially published Alabama CMYK values are 25, 100, 79, 20 for Crimson Flame and 52, 40, 37, 3 for Capstone Gray. A conventional CMYK estimate of 0, 0, 0, 0 is listed for Victory White, although white in most print workflows is normally the paper or substrate rather than printed ink.
The Alabama Crimson Tide CMYK color codes are most useful for printed materials such as flyers, posters, brochures and merchandise mockups. Because print output can vary by printer, paper, substrate, coating and ink profile, always request a physical proof or test print before final production.
Alabama Crimson Tide Pantone Colors
The University of Alabama’s primary color guide publishes PMS 201 for Crimson Flame and PMS 430 for Capstone Gray. It does not publish a Pantone number for Victory White. Pantone values are useful when designers need consistent spot-color matching across professional print, signage, apparel and branded materials.
There is a limited official source variation for silver and gray logo applications: the University’s Script A logo guidance permits Silver as PMS 428 or PMS 430, while the primary color page specifically defines Capstone Gray as PMS 430. For general primary-palette reference, PMS 430 is the clearer official choice; logo production should follow the requirements for the exact mark being used.
