here is some info. maybe this will help.

Edit for info/correction. the CMYK code is computer code for color for printing. this is not paint code. called around and most places seem to have preprogrammed paint codes thru some database. if not in database, they must color match from something you bring in with correct color.

You need to take the Rabbi Glickman thread with you - they're mixing maroon frosting.

Glidden has a 'TAM Maroon'.

You can probably get a match from the computer at the store.

Texan Jeff posted the right stuff, but Glidden paint sucks so buy a sample and have Sherwin Williams match it. Did that and painted a wall in my man cave and it turned out great!

I bleed maroon so I can go with you to Home Depot and cut myself so they can color match it.

Tried to get it from Ace since they're giving away a free quart today. They didn't have it but got fairly close. Used the free one as base coat and went to Home Depot for Glidden A&M paint for second coat.

Well, if Glidden carries a TAM maroon, I would give their paint a shot first.

I wouldn't trust the TEAM COLORS branding BS. I had to paint some equipment for the Cowboys one season and picked up the Cowboys blue, it didn't match anything in Texas Stadium. Luckily I only needed them for two games before we got a vinyl wrap of Ware and Whitten.

You can try this website, I've used it in the past:

EasyRGB

Rather quickly I took the CMYK values from the TAMU brand guide, used Photoshop to convert it to RGB, and entered it on the conversion portion of the site. It provided the following standard Sherwin Williams colors (although you can lookup just about any paint manufacturer).

Match #1 = SW 6293 FABULOUS GRAPE
Delta E* = 19.10
RGB = 112.42 53.13 82.51

Match #2 = SW 6566 FRAMBOISE
Delta E* = 19.38
RGB = 131.90 57.85 89.28

Match #3 = SW 6573 JUNEBERRY
Delta E* = 21.18
RGB = 138.47 64.11 92.20

Match #4 = SW 6842 FORWARD FUSCHIA
Delta E* = 21.22
RGB = 150.51 50.09 93.75

You can always get a small sample from them to paint a bit in your room to see if it meets your expectations.

[EDIT]

Using another Sherwin Williams reference, these seem to be a little closer:

Match #1 = 2902 ELDERBERRY
Delta E* = 11.54
RGB = 123.73 37.09 61.87

Match #2 = 2901 WINE COUNTRY
Delta E* = 12.79
RGB = 94.05 34.87 52.88

Match #3 = 2906 CRIMSON RED
Delta E* = 13.22
RGB = 114.37 32.94 41.33

Match #4 = 2915 SUNDRIED TOMATO
Delta E* = 17.63

I wanted to circle round on this topic, since I think I found the answer.

I asked my local Home Depot for "Aggie / Texas A&M Maroon" and they said "huh?". Lowes same thing.
I called the College Station Home Depot, and they said "yeah, of course we have Aggie Maroon".

They said "have your Home Depot call us and we'll get it right for you" and they DID!

The College Station Home Depot is 979-595-1188 - but with this photo link below you can probably just have yours reproduce it. I don't know the color perfectly, but it looks CLOSE to me.

And if I may, this is what I made for my son (Mays Business Class of 2026!) and my wife whom I make directional signs for.

Helmets maroon or Jerseys maroon?

I made my own once and painted some pipe posts and a picnic table.
I started with red and poured in brown and kept it stirred until it looked maroon. I had some black on hand just in case it turned out too light but I don't think I used it.

Most all of the paint stores in B-CS can mix this for you for home use. If you're painting a car, go with Pittsburg auto paint products.
