HEX, RGB and Pantone: what the codes mean

A HEX code, such as the ones above, is a six-character web color. RGB gives the same color as red, green and blue values from 0 to 255. Pantone (PMS) is a printing system, and a "C" after the number means the color is matched for coated paper. Use HEX or RGB for screens and a Pantone number when you talk to a printer. The same Cardinals color can look different on a jersey, in a logo and on a screen, because fabric, light and the display change how it reads.

Matching Cardinals gear with other colors

When you pair Cardinals gear with other clothes, keep one team color dominant and let the others act as accents. Neutral white, gray or black layers work with most Cardinals jersey colors. A jersey in the team's main color is the easiest base. If you are comparing two Cardinals jerseys, look at which color the trim and numbers use, since that decides what shoes and caps match. These are style suggestions, not team guidance.
