Alright, so I needed to figure out the exact color codes for the Miami Hurricanes the other day. Had a little project going, and you know, getting the colors right is pretty important, makes it look authentic.
First thing I did, naturally, was just jump online. Fired up the search engine and typed in something like “Miami Hurricanes official colors” or “Miami Hurricanes color codes”. Got a whole mess of results back, as you’d expect.
Some sites looked kinda sketchy, just random fan pages or design sites that might not be accurate. I try to avoid those if I can. I was really looking for something that felt a bit more official, maybe from the university itself or their athletics department. That can be tricky sometimes, they don’t always just slap the Hex codes on the front page.
Spent a bit of time clicking around. Found a few places mentioning the classic Orange and Green. Yeah, no kidding, right? But I needed the specific codes. Needed something I could plug into design software or use for web stuff.
Digging for the Actual Codes
After poking around for maybe 10-15 minutes, I started seeing some consistent numbers pop up on sites that seemed more reputable, like branding guideline pages or university-affiliated resources referenced elsewhere. Consistency is usually a good sign.
Here’s what I eventually pinned down and felt good about:
- The Orange: The hex code I kept seeing and felt was right is #F47321. Looks about right, that specific Canes orange.
- The Green: For the green, the code that seemed most legit was #005030. That deep, forest-like green they use.
- White: And well, white is usually just white. That’s #FFFFFF. Sometimes they list it, sometimes they don’t, but it’s part of the palette.
Some places mentioned Pantone codes too, which are more for printing. I saw PMS 1665 C for the orange and PMS 3435 C for the green mentioned a few times. Didn’t need those specifically this time, but I noted them down just in case for future reference. Mostly needed the Hex codes for digital use.
Got What I Needed
So yeah, that was the process. Just a bit of searching, comparing results from different sources, and using some common sense to figure out which ones were most likely accurate. Didn’t find one single “official” page handed to me on a platter immediately, but piecing it together from a few reliable-looking spots got the job done.
Now I’ve got those codes saved. #F47321 for the Orange and #005030 for the Green. Simple as that, really. Just took a little digging.
