​Color names are not standardized across the sports industry. "Athletic gold," "Vegas gold," "light blue," and similar terms are used loosely by coaches, uniform suppliers, and equipment manufacturers — and they rarely refer to the same Pantone color. Ordering by color name alone is one of the most common causes of mismatched decals.

Raised Decals produces custom helmet decals via injection molding using color-matched materials. Color is set at the production stage and cannot be changed after an order is confirmed. Providing the correct Pantone number for your program's official colors before ordering is the only way to ensure an accurate match.

If you don't know your program's official Pantone, check your school's athletic brand guide or contact your uniform supplier before placing your order.
