I P Knightley Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I know there are many JKBers concerned that Hearts play in 'proper' maroon. Does anyone care enough that they know the RGB combination when trying to get proper maroon in a Microsoft document or powerpoint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershwin Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 People interested in proper colours are probably more likely to work in cmyk values. Maybe get yourself a pantone book - it should have the values you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like too much hard work; especially since it's only to further a very petty argument with a Burnley supporting friend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Chimp Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 You're right. No argument can be too petty when it comes to the maroon Exactly. This is pantone 202 maroon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonjambo Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Not sure whether you got my PM on this Not sure you are going to succeed with your argument. Burnley's claret was allegedly based on Aston Villa's. Burnely changed colours in 1910 and had previously played in .... wait for it .... green ! Villa's colours are allegedly based on those of Rangers and .... Hearts. So, in theory at least Burnley's maroon should be the same as ours. It isnt of course but there you go. Why not just goad your friend with the hideous fact that his team used to play in green. GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig R Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 People interested in proper colours are probably more likely to work in cmyk values. Maybe get yourself a pantone book - it should have the values you're looking for. Only if they are planning on printing the colour. If its for use on screen then RGB values are the way to go.

Gershwin Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Pantone 202 is maroon. Got a pantone book from the studio at work. That maroon is C:10 M:100 Y:61 K:50 Or just go with what Craig R says.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N User Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I normally stick with 128 0 0 to get a nice dark maroon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redjambo Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I've just come across an old Scotsman article that said a few years ago some Hearts-supporting councillors tried to get Edinburgh's official colours to include Pantone 201 (not Pantone 202). I must say I prefer a darker maroon myself. http://news.scotsman.com/aidansmith/Dr-Hibee-Mr-Jambo.2673840.jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 You can ignore the Heartfelt bit. Sorry for opening old wounds bighusref. He refers to Hibs and Hearts in a Jekyll/Hyde relationship, with us being Mr Hyde. He takes the **** out of us for the 07 game. He talks condescendingly about us refering to them as "the wee team". He says "Swinecastle". He uses a whole paragraph of pish to suggest that Hibs have more flair than us. He repeats ad nauseum "I hate Hearts" in a Kubrick tribute. All in that one excerpt. Much like Brushy Bill Roberts/William H. Bonney/Billy The Kid/Emilio Estevez in Young Guns II.... "You asked me if I have scars? Yessir, I have my scars." I Hate Aiden Smith.

Guess I was wrong in posting it - I just found it when searching for the correct Pantone number and didn't even read the rest of the article (glad I didn't, to be honest).
