Who wears royal blue

Royal blue is a team color first. Kentucky's Wildcat Blue, Duke Royal Blue, Kansas Blue, Pitt Royal Blue, BYU's Royal and Boise State Blue all fall in this range. It's also a favorite for youth leagues, camps and companies with bright blue logos.

Bright blue reads as confident and energetic while still feeling dependable, which makes it a safe spirited color for teams and events.
