You would think after 30 years, I would know my team's official colors but, alas, I don't. I found this on Wikipedia, but they aren't 100% reliable. The "metallic silver-green" for the pants sounds a little off. Does anyone know the official colors of record?

Wikipedia

The Dallas Cowboys' white home jersey has royal blue (PMS 661) solid socks, numbers, lettering, and two stripes on the sleeves outlined in black. The home' pants, according to the Dallas Cowboys official media guide, are a unique metallic silver-green color (PMS 8280) that help bring out the blue in the uniform. The navy (PMS 282) road jerseys (nicknamed the "Stars and Stripes" jersey) have white lettering and numbers with navy pinstripes. A white/gray/white stripe are on each sleeve as well as the collared V-neck, and a Cowboys star logo is placed upon the stripes. A "Cowboys" chest crest is directly under the NFL shield. The away pants are a pearlish metallic-silver color (PMS 8240) and like the home pants, enhance the navy in the uniforms. The team uses a serifed font for the lettered player surnames on the jersey nameplates.

The team's helmets are also a unique silver with a tint of blue known as "Cowboys Blue" and have a blue/white/blue vertical stripe placed upon the center of the crown. The Cowboys are also one of the few, if not the only, team[citation needed] that attach blue Dymo tape with the player's name on the backside of the white portion of the blue/white/blue decal.

Yes those are the exact colors. They can be found on page 1 of the media guide.

Unfortunately, Wiki is correct about the blasphemous silver-green pants.

That's pretty sweet that we have our own tint of blue for the helmet color. Guess I never knew that.

I mentioned the blue tint to the helmet years ago and was basically beaten down on this here board. Everyone swore up and down that there was no blue hue. I knew my eyes didn't deceive me. The blue tint was more pronounced in the 70s, though.

Officially it's silver-green. I don't know where the seafoam rumor started.

I am not sure either. The first time I heard of it was last year in a Zone thread. I think it was just someone's way of describing what they thought it looked like. It is a unique hue and definately stands out when they Cowboys play a night game on natural grass like in Miami. :)

The Cowboys have one of the most ridiculous and ambiguous color-schemes in all of pro sports, IMO.

Just pick a definitive 3-color set already and go with it.

They should be "Navy Blue, Silver and White".

It's part of their allure.

If you buy the paint to "match" the Cowboys colors it's Battleship Grey and Royal Blue...........painted a few rooms in my time with the theme.

Agreed. It's one thing if the away hues don't exactly match the home hues, but to have three different hues of the same color on at the same time is pretty bad.

Overall idea behind the uniform is terrific....but the execution sucks IMO.
