UCF Knights Color Codes
The official UCF Knights colors are used across university and athletics branding, uniforms, digital graphics, fan designs, presentations and web projects. The official UCF Brand Guide identifies black and bright gold as the core colors and separately provides a metallic gold specification for limited print applications. The table below preserves UCF’s published values as written and labels unpublished values instead of presenting unofficial conversions as official specifications.
| Color Name | Pantone | HEX | RGB | CMYK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black | Pantone Black or Process Black; no numbered Pantone code officially published | #000000 | 0, 0, 0 | Not officially published as a numeric build; use Process Black |
| UCF Bright Gold | Pantone 7406 | #FFC904 or #FFCC00; both are officially published | 255, 202, 6 | 0, 21, 100, 0 |
| UCF Metallic Gold | Pantone 10121; coated paper only | Not officially published; not recommended for digital use | Not officially published; not recommended for digital use | Not officially published |
Official-value note: UCF publishes two HEX options for Bright Gold, #FFC904 and #FFCC00, as well as RGB 255, 202, 6. These published values are not exact mathematical equivalents. For the most faithful brand use, select the official value intended for the output medium rather than converting one format and treating the result as an official replacement.
How to Use UCF Knights Colors
You can use the UCF Knights 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 HTML or CSS projects, RGB values are useful for screens and digital design, and CMYK values are mainly used for print projects. Use black and UCF Bright Gold for standard digital work. Reserve Pantone 10121 Metallic Gold for appropriate professional print production on coated paper because UCF does not recommend it for uncoated stock or digital media.
UCF Knights HEX Color Codes
The main UCF Knights HEX color codes are #000000, #FFC904 and #FFCC00. Black uses #000000. UCF officially publishes both #FFC904 and #FFCC00 as digital references for the same Bright Gold brand color, not as two separate team colors. No official HEX value is published for UCF Metallic Gold.
UCF Knights RGB Color Codes
The official UCF Knights RGB values are 0, 0, 0 for black and 255, 202, 6 for UCF Bright Gold. These values are useful for screen-based designs, including social media posts, digital banners, video graphics and presentation slides. UCF does not officially publish an RGB value for Metallic Gold because that finish is intended for specialized print use rather than digital display.
UCF Knights CMYK Color Codes
The officially published UCF Bright Gold CMYK build is 0, 21, 100, 0. For black, the official guide directs print users to Pantone Black or Process Black but does not provide a numbered CMYK formula, so a numeric black build should not be presented as an official UCF specification. UCF also does not publish a standard CMYK build for Metallic Gold. Because print output can vary by printer, paper, coating and ink profile, always request a proof before final production.
UCF Knights Pantone Colors
The official UCF Bright Gold Pantone reference is Pantone 7406. For black, UCF specifies Pantone Black or Process Black without publishing a numbered Pantone code. UCF Metallic Gold uses Pantone 10121 and should only be used on coated paper; the official guide does not recommend it for uncoated paper or digital media. These distinctions matter because metallic ink behaves differently from standard process or screen colors.

Can I use UCF Knights colors for my own design project?
