Mississippi State University brand colors
Mississippi State University's color guide names MSState Maroon as its primary color, with a Pantone reference, a CMYK build, an RGB triple and a hex, alongside a light grey, a dark grey and a wide secondary and accent palette given by hex without individual names, so the accent names here are descriptive.
