Re: Team Colors

Royal Blue and Orange, although those seem to be fairly common. I haven't seen many teams use colors like Forest Green, Burgundy, or Silver/Gray

Re: Team Colors

Black and Yellow (Well gold, but still...)

I know that these are two commonly used colors, but they are school colors so we go with them.

Re: Team Colors

Our team colors are garnet and black, drawn from our lead sponsor: the University of South Carolina. Yellow and white have also been used as accents over the years, and gray was used as part of an all-black-everything motif this year (as a one-year thing).

I would have to agree that Black and Gold/Yellow are common colors, at least for our area. They're our school colors as well.

Really though, in FIRST, you never can rule out any combination.

Although, once you stare at Wildstang and MOE, you see colors that you never thought existed. (Seeing them compete on Newton together made my mind pop).

If you want an unused color combo, go with brown, pink, and sky blue. Only a few teams I know of use pink (mainly the Pink Team), one uses brown (UPS), and a few use sky blue (Discobots come to mind). No one uses brown/blue or brown/pink that I'm aware of. Lime green or black are the most used colors.

Robonauts are black, white, and gold with red and blue accents, and that color set in various combinations is fairly common. The key is making your logo use the colors in an eye catching way and integrating the logo/color scheme across your entire team. So whatever colors you use, common or rare, you can still stand out. No one confuses CRyptonite 624 with 365 MOE, because of the branding they use even though they are both lime green and black.

Purple It's fairly common in our area. I would say blue and black are most common here. Orange too maybe

Re: Team Colors

Red is our main color (as is noticed by our red jumpsuits ), silver is our secondary base color, and we use black to outline. In the past it hasn't been standard enough, but that will improve in the near future. When trying to get something a little cheaper, we just go with all red, maybe a small amount of black outline. I feel that variations of red and blue are the most common colors out there, but it still doesn't seem generic because each team has a different theme. In terms of least used colors, I don't see much plain green or brown in LA, but on the other hand, we do have a lot of orange (see teams 294 which is orange & blue, 973 which is orange, and 1515 which is orange) out here in SoCal.

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.

Our Drive team is also known for our Orange Hard hats that we wear where ever we go

I've been wearing orange pants at competitions also! This makes me orange from head to toe (except i need some orange shoes, or ductape orange on some old shoes). I've gotten a lot of compliment for them, and wore them to RoboProm, with a royal Blue Dress Shirt

Re: Team Colors

Electric Blue accented with Fire, mainly through the use of orange. The example can be seen in our logo, which is my user picture.

When our team was first founded (right after Hurricane Katrina) we went with the Mardi Gras theme of purple, green and yellow to represent our tattered city, calling ourselves the Northshore Krewe. The next year we changed our name (Nuts and Volts) and colors, taking on burgundy because one of our members was absolutely fixed upon us being burgundy. Unfortunately we later found out that Nuts and Volts was magazine and we were almost infringing on copyright. Then we finally became the Team Combustion that we are today, using electric blue. One of our most dedicated student leads (ahem, my older sister) wanted a bright color because she felt that would help us stick out.

Considering all of our changes we now advise all the rookies we help to pick a color/name/theme and stick to and embrace it as much as possible. It took us much to long to start our branding process..
