How to Use Oklahoma State Cowboys Colors

For accessible digital layouts, test text and background combinations for sufficient contrast instead of relying on team colors alone.
For brand-sensitive work, use orange as the dominant identifying color, supported by black and white. Oklahoma State’s official guidance also notes that the correct orange reproduction can depend on the print surface or medium, so production proofs are advisable for high-value printed materials.
