Auburn Tigers Color Codes
The official Auburn Tigers 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.
Official-source note: Auburn Athletics explicitly lists the athletics HEX values as Orange #F26522 and Blue #0C2340, with PMS 172 and PMS 289. The same athletics page also displays #03244D in a separate unlabeled color sample, while the Auburn University general communications palette uses #E86100 and #0B2341 with PMS 158 and PMS 289. Because this article is about the Auburn Tigers athletic brand, the explicitly labeled Auburn Athletics values are used below. RGB and CMYK values for the two athletics colors are not officially published on that page, so they are identified as HEX-derived estimates. White is included as a supporting neutral from the current university primary palette, not as a third official Auburn Athletics school color.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Burnt Orange | PMS 172 | #F26522 | Best available estimate (HEX-derived): 242, 101, 34 | Best available estimate (HEX-derived): 0, 58, 86, 5 |

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. Use the athletics-specific HEX values when matching Tigers digital branding, and use PMS 172 and PMS 289 when a professional printer or manufacturer requires the officially listed athletics spot-color references.
