Official Arizona Cardinals Pantone Color Notes
The Arizona Cardinals’ official team color page lists the team colors as Red, Black and Grey. The official Pantone references are Red: 194 C, Black: Process Black and Grey: 3 C. The official source does not publish official HEX, RGB or CMYK values on that page.
Some third-party color references include a yellow accent because yellow appears in the Cardinals bird-head logo. Since the official team color page lists red, black and grey rather than yellow as a team color, yellow should be treated as a logo accent reference, not as a primary official team color unless confirmed by an official brand guide.
