Utah Utes Color Codes
The Utah Utes colors are commonly used across team branding, uniforms, digital graphics, fan designs, presentations and web projects. The official NCAA school profile summarizes Utah’s colors as red and white, while the University of Utah brand system also recognizes black as an official supporting color. The table below therefore includes Utah Red, black and white using values published by the University of Utah brand guidelines. For Utah Red, the university specifies custom spot-ink formulas R8940 for coated stock and R8939 for uncoated stock; PMS 187 C and PMS 186 U are identified as fallback references when the custom formulas are unavailable. Some official campaign-specific materials have displayed a different CMYK build, so this article follows the central University of Utah brand color page, which lists CMYK 0/100/79/20.

How to Use Utah Utes Colors
You can use the Utah Utes 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. Use Utah Red as the dominant identifying color, with black and white providing contrast, typography support and flexible background options. For professional printing, communicate the intended paper type and production method to the printer because coated and uncoated stocks can require different spot-color references.
Utah Utes HEX Color Codes
The main Utah Utes HEX color codes are #BE0000, #000000 and #FFFFFF. These values are used for Utah Red, black and white respectively, and are suitable for web design, HTML, CSS, digital graphics and online brand-reference work. For accessible web content, test text and background combinations for sufficient contrast rather than relying on brand recognition alone.

RGB values define how red, green and blue light combine to display each team color on digital screens.
Utah Utes CMYK Color Codes
The Utah Utes CMYK color codes are 0, 100, 79, 20 for Utah Red; 0, 0, 0, 100 for black; and 0, 0, 0, 0 for white.

Because print output can vary by printer, paper, ink profile and finishing process, always request a proof or test print before final production.
