Florida International Panthers Color Codes
The official Florida International Panthers colors are commonly used across FIU branding, uniforms, digital graphics, fan designs, presentations and web projects. The table below lists values published by the official FIU Brand Style Guide. FIU identifies blue and gold as its official colors; white is included as a neutral rather than a third primary team color.

Official-source note: The current online FIU Brand Style Guide publishes PMS 289 C/U for FIU Blue and PMS 7407 C/U for FIU Gold. An older downloadable FIU style-guide PDF shows different legacy Pantone and gold values. Because the current official web guide is the more recent active reference, the values above follow that page. Designers working on official FIU materials should still confirm requirements with FIU Brand before production.
How to Use Florida International Panthers Colors
You can use the Florida International Panthers 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.
For a recognizable FIU-based palette, use FIU Blue as the dominant dark color and FIU Gold as the primary contrasting accent. White can provide neutral space, readable reversed text and clean backgrounds. When placing text over blue, gold or white, test the exact foreground and background combination for sufficient accessibility contrast rather than assuming every brand-color pairing is readable.
Florida International Panthers HEX Color Codes
The main Florida International Panthers HEX color codes are #081E3F for FIU Blue and #D1A644 for FIU Gold. The official FIU digital palette also lists #FFFFFF for white, which is treated as a neutral and alternate background color. These values are commonly used in web design, HTML, CSS, digital graphics and online branding references.
Florida International Panthers RGB Color Codes
The Florida International Panthers RGB color codes are 8, 30, 63 for FIU Blue and 209, 166, 68 for FIU Gold. White is 255, 255, 255. These RGB values are useful for screen-based designs, including social media posts, digital banners, video graphics and presentation slides. FIU states that its RGB values are derived from the official HEX values using the sRGB color profile.
Florida International Panthers CMYK Color Codes
The official print values are CMYK 100, 87, 42, 52 for FIU Blue and CMYK 18, 33, 86, 0 for FIU Gold. White is listed as CMYK 0, 0, 0, 0.

The current official FIU brand page lists PMS 289 C for FIU Blue on coated paper and PMS 289 U on uncoated paper. FIU Gold is listed as PMS 7407 C for coated paper and PMS 7407 U for uncoated paper. FIU does not publish a Pantone value for white on the current color page. Pantone values are useful when designers need consistent spot-color matching across professional print and branded materials.

This article prioritizes the current official FIU Brand Style Guide and does not present unofficial conversions as official specifications.
Is white an official Florida International Panthers color?
FIU’s official brand guidance identifies blue and gold as the university’s official colors. White is published in the palette as a neutral or alternate background color. It is useful in Panthers-related design, but it should not be described as a third primary official color.
Can I use Florida International Panthers colors for my own design project?
You can use Florida International Panthers color codes as references for personal design work, fan content and non-commercial projects. Color values themselves are practical design references, but team names, logos, uniform marks and other brand assets may be protected. For commercial use, merchandise or anything presented as official, review FIU’s current logo guidelines and trademark requirements before publishing or selling the design.
Which color format should I use for a website or WordPress project?
Use HEX values for most WordPress themes, page builders and CSS rules. RGB values are also appropriate for digital interfaces, especially when transparency is needed through an RGBA value. Use #081E3F for FIU Blue, #D1A644 for FIU Gold and #FFFFFF for neutral white.
Which color format should I use for printing?
Use the official CMYK values for standard four-color printing and the official Pantone references when a printer supports spot-color matching. Tell the printer whether the stock is coated or uncoated because FIU publishes separate Pantone references for each surface. A physical proof remains important because screens cannot perfectly predict printed color.
