Florida Gators Color Codes
The official Florida Gators colors are based on the University of Florida’s core orange and blue brand palette. These colors are used across athletics branding, uniforms, digital graphics, fan designs, presentations and web projects. White is included below because the official brand guide identifies it as an important neutral and permits reversed white logo applications, but it is not a third primary school color.
| Color Name | Pantone | HEX | RGB | CMYK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UF Orange / Core Orange | Pantone 172 | #FA4616 | 250, 70, 22 | 0, 70, 100, 0 |
| Gator Blue / Core Blue | Pantone 287 | #0021A5 | 0, 33, 165 | 100, 60, 0, 20 |
| White (Supporting Neutral) | White | #FFFFFF | 255, 255, 255 | 0, 0, 0, 0 |
Verification note: The orange, blue and white values above are officially published by the University of Florida Brand Center. The official logo guidance separately confirms Pantone 172 for orange and Pantone 287 for blue. The Brand Center notes that its published color builds are optimized for reproduction and may differ from automatic Pantone Color Bridge conversions.
How to Use Florida Gators Colors
You can use the Florida Gators 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 and CSS, RGB values are useful for screens and digital design, while CMYK values are mainly used for print projects. Keep orange and blue visually dominant, use white to create contrast and open space, and avoid substituting approximate colors when the official values are available. Athletic names, logos, mascots and marks may be protected trademarks, so color use alone does not grant permission to reproduce official Florida Gators branding.
Florida Gators HEX Color Codes
The main Florida Gators HEX color codes are #FA4616 for UF Orange, #0021A5 for Gator Blue and #FFFFFF for the supporting white neutral. These values are appropriate for HTML, CSS, website components, digital graphics and online branding references. For accessible text and interface design, test the final foreground and background pairing rather than assuming every orange, blue and white combination will meet contrast requirements.
Florida Gators RGB Color Codes
The Florida Gators RGB color codes are 250, 70, 22 for orange; 0, 33, 165 for blue; and 255, 255, 255 for white. RGB values are useful for screen-based designs, including social media posts, digital banners, video graphics and presentation slides. Because displays can vary in brightness, calibration and color profile, use the official numeric values as the starting point and review the final artwork on representative devices.
Florida Gators CMYK Color Codes
The Florida Gators CMYK color codes are 0, 70, 100, 0 for orange; 100, 60, 0, 20 for blue; and 0, 0, 0, 0 for white. These values are most useful for printed materials such as flyers, posters, brochures and merchandise mockups. The University of Florida states that its published builds are adjusted for effective reproduction and may not match automated conversion tools. Print output can also vary by printer, paper, coating and ink profile, so request a proof before final production.
Florida Gators Pantone Colors
The officially published Florida Gators Pantone references are Pantone 172 for orange and Pantone 287 for blue. The official neutral palette lists white as “White” rather than assigning it a numbered Pantone code. Pantone values are useful when designers need consistent spot-color matching across professional print and branding materials. Use the official formulas above instead of third-party approximations, and consult a current physical Pantone guide when color-critical production is required.
