About Western Conference colours

The Western Conference fields 1 of the National Hockey League's 2 teams, split across 1 division: Pacific Division. Between them they use 3 colour values, of which 3 are distinct.

National Hockey League teams call the jersey a sweater, a holdover from the knitted garments of the league's first decades. Colour matters differently here because the sweater is seen against white ice, which raises the contrast of every dark palette and flattens the pale ones.

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.
