Temple Owls Color Codes
The official Temple Owls 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Data verification: Temple University’s official color palette identifies Cherry, White and Black as primary palette colors and publishes their HEX and CMYK values. Temple’s official 2024 art sheet lists PMS 201 for Cherry, Pantone Process White, Pantone Process Black C and states that athletics marks may print in Cherry, Black, Gray or White. RGB values are not directly published in those current references, so the RGB entries above are labeled as best available estimates calculated from the official HEX codes.
Legacy color note: An older official Temple vintage guide listed Cherry as #990033 with RGB 152, 30, 50. For current digital work, this article follows #A41E35 because Temple’s official non-vintage palette specifically instructs users to use its listed HEX codes in digital applications.

For a clear Temple-inspired hierarchy, use Cherry as the dominant accent, White for contrast and open space, and Black for text or approved supporting treatments. Do not recolor, distort or reconstruct official Temple marks. Temple states that its marks are controlled through a licensing program and require approval for authorized use.
