Arizona State Sun Devils Color Codes
The official Arizona State Sun Devils colors are used across athletics branding, uniforms, digital graphics, fan designs, presentations and web projects. The Sun Devil Athletics identity guide names maroon, gold and black as its primary colors. The broader ASU enterprise palette also treats white as a primary supporting color. The table below lists the officially published HEX, RGB and CMYK values for the three primary athletics colors and accurately reflects ASU’s current Pantone policy.
| Color Name | Pantone | HEX | RGB | CMYK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASU Maroon | Not officially published; legacy Pantone retired and replaced by an ASU custom spot color | #8C1D40 | 140, 29, 64 | 10, 97, 37, 43 |
| ASU Gold | Not officially published; legacy Pantone retired and replaced by an ASU custom spot color | #FFC627 | 255, 198, 39 | 0, 21, 88, 0 |

Official source note: The color values above come from the ASU Brand Guide color palette and the Sun Devil Athletics Brand Identity Guidelines. ASU states that the previous Pantone colors for standard maroon and gold have been retired. Professional print vendors should use ASU’s custom spot-color specifications or official swatches rather than substituting an old Pantone number.
How to Use Arizona State Sun Devils Colors
You can use the Arizona State Sun Devils color codes for digital design, website elements, social media graphics, printable materials, fan artwork, presentations and sports-related content. Use HEX codes for HTML, CSS and most web interfaces; use RGB values for screens, video and presentation software; and use CMYK values for process-color printing. For professional spot-color printing, request the current ASU custom maroon and gold swatches from an authorized ASU print resource instead of relying on retired Pantone matches.
Lead with maroon and gold when a design needs to read clearly as Arizona State. Black and white work best as contrast and support colors rather than as substitutes for both core colors. For accessibility, test text and background combinations before publishing; ASU specifically warns against low-contrast pairings such as gold text on white and maroon text on black.
Arizona State Sun Devils HEX Color Codes
The main Arizona State Sun Devils HEX color codes are #8C1D40 for ASU Maroon, #FFC627 for ASU Gold and #000000 for ASU Rich Black. These officially published web values are suitable for HTML, CSS, digital graphics and online brand references. ASU White, an approved supporting color in the enterprise palette, uses #FFFFFF.

These values 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 team color on digital screens.
Arizona State Sun Devils CMYK Color Codes
The Arizona State Sun Devils CMYK color codes are 10, 97, 37, 43 for ASU Maroon; 0, 21, 88, 0 for ASU Gold; and 60, 40, 40, 100 for ASU Rich Black. These officially published process-color builds are most useful for flyers, posters, brochures and merchandise mockups. Because printed output varies by printer, paper, ink and color profile, proof the finished colors before production.
Arizona State Sun Devils Pantone Colors
ASU does not currently publish standard Pantone numbers for its regular maroon and gold brand colors. The official brand guide says the previous Pantone colors were retired and replaced by custom ASU spot colors defined through official color specifications and swatches. Therefore, old Pantone references found on unofficial color websites should not be treated as current brand standards.
ASU separately lists Metallic Maroon as PANTONE 8862 C and Metallic Gold as PANTONE 8384 C for limited specialty-print applications. These metallic inks are supporting colors only and must not replace the standard maroon and gold used in the ASU logo or everyday digital branding.
