What is School colors?
'''School colors''' are the colors representing the [[school]] of which one goes to. ==Color Sets== School colors are often found in pairs and rarely no more than trios, though some professional teams use up to four colors in a set. The choice of colors usually follows the [[rule of tincture]] from [[heraldry]], but exceptions to this rule are known. Common [[primary color]]s include '''[[orange (colour)|orange]]''', '''[[purple]]''', '''[[blue]]''', '''[[red]]''', and '''[[green]]'''. These colors are either paired with a color representing a metal (often '''[[black]]''', '''[[brown]]''', '''[[gray]]''' (or '''[[Silver (color)|silver]]'''), '''[[white]]''', or '''[[Gold (color)|gold]]'''), or occasionally each other, such as '''orange/blue''', '''red/green''', or '''blue/yellow'''. Pairing two metals, such as '''black/white''', '''silver or gold''', and especially '''black/gold''', is also a common practice. Finally, some [[United States of America|American]] schools, in a display of patriotism, adopt the national colors of '''red/white/blue'''. In an effort to further establish identity and promote a standard, many institutions often decree the use of specific shades of colors. '''[[Maroon (color)|Maroon]],''' generally regarded as a darker shade of red, is a common primary color. Various shades of blue, from [[Powder blue|powder]] to [[Prussian blue|Prussian]], are also in use; a few schools have adopted two different shades of blue for their colors, with the darker shade serving as the primary. The shade of gold can vary greatly even within an institution, from a vivid [[yellow]] to a more convincing [[old gold]]. Black, white and gray are often used as neutral colors for sets that do not otherwise adopt them. This practice is especially notable in basketball (where home uniforms are often white) and professional baseball (where team colors are often used as trim for white or gray uniforms). ==Uses== Most competitive teams keep two sets of uniforms, with one design emphasizing the primary color
