a graphic showing the pantone numbers for the two core colors of the toronto blue jays. they are skydome blue (pantone 293) and Stieb Navy (pantone 282)
a hat and canvas tote with the pantone number for Dodger Blue (294 C)
I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldnโt let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.
