On Patriot Day, we honor the memory of those we lost and the heroism of the first responders on September 11. Our exclusive Patriot Day color palette captures the spirit of resilience, courage, and unity that defines the American nation.

This unique palette reinterprets the classic red, white, and blue with a modern, sophisticated touch, providing a respectful and powerful visual tribute.

  • 200 C represents the brave red, a symbol of courage and sacrifice.
  • Cool Gray 1 C serves as the pure gray, a dignified, modern alternative to white that signifies purity and stability. For a truly professional touch, you can also use an Opaque White without a PANTONE Reference. Be sure to designate this as a spot color in your designs to ensure a crisp, pure finish.
  • 280 C embodies the strong blue, standing for justice, freedom, and an unwavering spirit.

Use this distinct color scheme to create meaningful designs that honor this solemn day with a sense of dignity and respect.
