"Official" Bison colors

[Hammerhead]

So we decided to paint our game room in mostly Minnesota Vikings colors and might try painting one area with NDSU colors or maybe just use the Vikings gold.

Is there any place that lists the official shades of green and gold (or is it yellow?) used by the Bison? I was thinking of having them color match using a game program cover, but haven't techedkt to see if there is enough gold on there.

In case you want to see a listing of all our current Did You Know facts they are below:


...the official colors of North Dakota State University are Green and Yellow. The official colors were originally ratified on April 9th 1909.

This record can be found in the NDSU Faculty Minute Book: “Professor Keene moved that green, number 65 and yellow number 140 of the color card be made the official colors of the institution. Seconded by Prof, Weeks, Motion prevailed.”



...NDSU was originally known as North Dakota Agricultural College. The bill establishing NDAC was signed into law on March 8, 1890; seven years after initial plans to start an agricultural college in the northern portion of the Dakota Territory.

The Pantone 342 Blazer (aka ‘The Green Jacket’/'Bison Green')

Pantone 342

While most other sports present their champions with objects that glisten in trophy cases or on ring fingers, the winner of the annual Masters tournament wins a blazer—a loud one at that. It comes in a shade of green called “Pantone 342,” nicknamed “Masters Green” because it matches the rye grass of the fairways at the Augusta National Golf Club.
