Official-source note: The Virginia Tech Brand Center identifies Chicago maroon and burnt orange as the university colors and classifies Hokie Stone as a primary-palette neutral. An official Virginia Tech accessibility example displays maroon as #861F40, but the Brand Center color tool and official palette publish #861F41; this guide therefore uses #861F41 as the authoritative brand value.
