AlabamaDan Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Help! I'm trying to find the official colors of BSA, the greens, blues, kacki, etc. We're trying to paint some stuff, make den flags, etc. and can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone know?

scoutldr Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I think what you need to be asking is "what is the Pantone color shade number"...Pantone is the standard in the printing industry...e.g., if you tell the printer, "Pantone 345", you will get the same color, no matter who does the printing. That being said, I don't know what they are...maybe someone at BSA (Publications division?) can help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff-o Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 If you have the uniform items, just take 'em to the paint shop and ask for paint in that color. They can match in seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlabamaDan Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Ah, we're getting somewhere. Pantone colors. I knew there was something industry specific. Thanks for that. I'm ordering some stuff online and can't take it to be matched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emb021 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 The BSA HAS an style guide. Should be on-line at the National site. Gives the pantone colors for the various programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artjrk Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I found the Brand Identity Guide for the BSA. http://www.markmanual.com/boy-scouts-of-america-2009/ Unfortunately it does not contain the green or Khaki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlabamaDan Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 That is great! Now if only I had that green. That's actually the one that I wanted the most. Venturing Green isn't the right color I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoutldr Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I noticed the guide is a bit dated...has the old uniforms in it...perhaps if you called Irving, they can provide the new colors... Second thought...if you have the color you're trying to match (pants?), try taking them to a print shop and see if they will let you borrow their Pantone color swatches (similar to paint chips)...then you can match it up as best as you can.(This message has been edited by scoutldr) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
