UAB Blazers Color Codes
The official UAB Blazers 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.
| Color Name | Pantone | HEX | RGB | CMYK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UAB Green | Pantone 357 | #1A5632 | 26, 86, 50 | 86, 40, 91, 39 |

Accuracy note: UAB officially publishes complete Pantone, HEX, RGB and CMYK specifications for UAB Green and UAB Gold. White is included because the official athletics guide permits a white one-color logo and the official accessibility guide identifies white as #FFFFFF. White is not presented here as a third primary team color, and its RGB and CMYK entries are labeled appropriately where UAB does not publish a separate production specification.
How to Use UAB Blazers Colors
You can use the UAB Blazers 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.
The official UAB guidance says UAB Green should be emphasized, should appear in some capacity on brand designs and should be used more prominently than UAB Gold when multiple colors are present. The athletics guide identifies a full-color green logo with a gold outline as the preferred athletics treatment. Secondary UAB palette colors are accents rather than replacements for the two primary colors.
For readable digital content, test text and background combinations rather than assuming every official color pairing is accessible. UAB’s official accessibility chart reports that UAB Gold on UAB Green and white on UAB Green meet WCAG AA contrast requirements for normal text, while white on UAB Gold does not. Logos are treated differently from body text under accessibility rules, but surrounding page content should still be designed for sufficient contrast.
UAB Blazers HEX Color Codes
The official primary UAB Blazers HEX color codes are #1A5632 for UAB Green and #FDB913 for UAB Gold. The supporting white reference is #FFFFFF. These values are used in web design, HTML, CSS, digital graphics and online branding references. For most UAB-themed digital layouts, use green as the dominant color, gold as the signature accent and white where a reverse treatment or high-contrast neutral is needed.
UAB Blazers RGB Color Codes
The UAB Blazers RGB color codes are 26, 86, 50 for UAB Green and 253, 185, 19 for UAB Gold. 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. The white supporting value is 255, 255, 255, listed as a best available estimate because UAB’s primary color specification does not publish it as a separate RGB swatch.
UAB Blazers CMYK Color Codes
The officially published UAB Blazers CMYK values are 86, 40, 91, 39 for UAB Green and 0, 30, 100, 0 for UAB Gold. These codes are most useful for printed materials such as flyers, posters, brochures and merchandise mockups. UAB does not publish a separate CMYK specification for white in its primary palette; 0, 0, 0, 0 is included only as a best available process-print estimate. Because print output can vary by printer, paper, coating, ink system and color profile, always request a proof before final production.
UAB Blazers Pantone Colors
The official UAB Blazers Pantone references are Pantone 357 for UAB Green and Pantone 7549 for UAB Gold. Pantone values are useful when designers need consistent color matching across professional print and branding materials. No official Pantone value is published for the supporting white reference.
UAB also recommends Pantone 10123 C for metallic spot ink on coated paper, but the official guide explicitly treats metallic gold as a physical effect rather than a digital color. Do not substitute a metallic simulation for #FDB913 in websites or screen graphics; use UAB Gold for digital applications.
