University of Utah brand colors
Utah specifies its red with custom Pantone formulas, R8940 coated and R8939 uncoated, rather than a stock number, which is how an institution registers a color it considers its own. The accent set is named for the landscape: Zion, Wasatch, Great Salt Lake, Salt Flat.
