What color vinyl do you use for Carolina Blue? Thanks Everyone.

What brand you use will make a difference. Avery light blue is close.

How about in Oracal? After the problems I had with Avery, I have not used any of their products. This is to go on softball helmets. Thanks for the help.

I don't have my Pantone guide handy to match it up with an Oracal chart.

I would probably go "ice blue" with oracal.

Cerelean blue, to match all those blue eyes in NC....

Thanks everyone. I can always count on an answer from all the great fellow letterheads.

I am more confused than ever on what PMS Carolina Blue is for sure. Brian , thank you so much for the web sites but did you look at them? One said it was 278 and the other said it was 542. Those 2 blues are completely different. I looked at a Pantone chart and the 278 was about 15 parts white and 1 part Reflex blue. The 542 was completely different from that. Could someone please shed some light on this? Where are all those North Carolina fans out there?
Posted by Brian Snyder (Member # 41) on :
I only sent a link to one offical UNC website. It says "Carolina Blue (PMS 542)".
On that page it also says
Department of Computer Science Campus Box 3175, Sitterson Hall College of Arts & Sciences The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3175 USA Phone: (919) 962-1700 Fax: (919) 962-1799
You can search for the term "PMS blue" in only the UNC website by doing this:
Since the results are mixed I'd recommend using the contact information above. I don't think you'd find a bigger North Carolina fan than right at the university.
