Re: Team Colors

If I wanted to go with the absolute least used colors, brown and grey. 330 used to stand out in a large crowd as a small grey blob (as opposed to the large PINK and MOE Green blobs), but switched permanently to royal blue and yellow (school colors are royal blue and white). Brown, as noted, is really only used by one or two teams. Grey, as far as I know, isn't used by anybody in particular. Used right, they could work well together...

Colors that get a lot of use or are associated with specific teams:
Green (8, 610, 217, 365 (the aforementioned MOE), 179...)
Blue (330, 60, 254, 68, you get the picture)
White, just about every team has used at some point.
Black and white, 1983 (Skunkworks) and 1538 (Holy Cows) come to mind right away.
Red tends to crop up on Canadian teams, as well as a lot of U.S. teams.
Yellow, not as common but can be quite common in the right area of the country.
Pink is associated with 233... but there are one or two other teams that do use that color.
