Source for EPL, MLB, MLS, NHL? about teamcolors HOT 2 CLOSED

There is no documented source for the unofficial color approximations. Many have been extracted from Wikipedia, some are submitted by individual users on Github, and so forth.

I kind of like the idea of sourcing all "unofficial" colors from one place, but I'm a little hesitant of using Glidden's site. These appear to be paint colors, and physical world colors (like CMYK and Pantone) always appear less rich and dynamic when translated directly to screen based colors. In other words, if you take a CMYK value and translate it directly to a screen color, like RGB, it always ends up looking a little more washed out than the hand-picked screen color value. See this side-by-side comparison:

For that reason, I'm not sure I would like to pull RGB values straight from Glidden's site, unless we could get more information on how exactly they chose the values they are representing on their website.

Good point, I see what you mean about the washed out color.

Closing for now, will update if I find anything better.
