University of Alabama brand colors

The University of Alabama publishes two primary colors, Crimson Flame and Capstone Gray, alongside a secondary palette of nine. Every value below is taken from the university's own brand guidelines and carries an official Pantone and CMYK specification, so the print and screen numbers come from the same place rather than from a conversion.
