About the Denver Broncos palette

The Denver Broncos were founded in 1960 and compete in the American Football Conference of the National Football League. Their primary colour, Broncos Orange #FB4F14, is a mid-tone, strongly saturated orange.

The National Football League divides its thirty-two teams between two conferences, and uniform colour is regulated more tightly here than in any other major league: a team must register its colours with the league, and opposing teams are required to wear contrasting jerseys so that broadcast audiences can tell them apart.

Within the Western Division the Broncos face Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers. Those are the matchups where two palettes appear in one frame, so they are the pairings most worth checking for a clash.
