Charlotte FC’s official site also describes the crest as using a bold black-and-white palette with a distinctive blue. The table below lists practical color references for HEX, RGB, CMYK and Pantone. Because the official sources reviewed do not publish a full Pantone, RGB, HEX or CMYK brand table, the numeric values below should be treated as best available estimates for design reference unless otherwise noted.

Important Accuracy Note
MLS officially identifies Charlotte FC’s four primary colors as Carolina blue, black, silver and white. Charlotte FC’s official club website confirms the use of a blue, black and white crest and describes the club badge as being set in a distinctive blue. However, the official sources reviewed do not publish a complete Pantone, HEX, RGB or CMYK specification table for these colors. For that reason, Pantone values are listed as “Not officially published,” and non-standard numeric color values are labeled as best available estimates.
