About Western Conference colours

The Western Conference fields 2 of the National Basketball Association's 4 teams, split across 1 division: Pacific Division. Between them they use 4 colour values, of which 4 are distinct.

National Basketball Association uniforms changed character when the league moved away from fixed home-white and away-colour rules, allowing teams to field several named uniform editions in a season. That makes a single flat team palette less useful here than in any other league, because the colours a team actually wears vary from night to night.

Because division opponents meet most often, the pairings inside each division appear in far more broadcast and print work than any other combination. Each division page above measures every one of those pairings and states whether the two palettes separate cleanly.
