My wife has granted me permission to paint my man cave and I am trying to go ISU colors. Has anyone else done this and if so do you have to color codes for the correct shades? My painter uses Sherwin Williams so I am looking for those paint color codes.

Also would you do 3 walls cardinal 1 wall gold or 3 walls gold 1 wall cardinal?
I'm leaning towards 3 cardinal 1 gold and putting tv on the gold wall.

I would break it up a bit vs solid colors on a wall. Put a Gold wide stripe or something like that on the cardinal wall. Trust me, I did this at a previous house.

I like that idea. I'm now thinking all cardinal room with a like a 2 foot wide horizontal stripe around the whole room. We are contracting the painting out so have to see what my guys says.

Make sure you take into account how much darker the room will appear with a heavy color like cardinal on all 4 walls. We painted just one accent wall a cardinal red in our entryway and it really darkened things up. We really liked it but I'm glad we didn't paint the whole area like that because it would have been just too dark.

This document is from 2007 following the athletic department's new logos and color scheme, which shifted slightly from the university color palette that you see on the university's brand marketing site. It has color codes so you don't have to guess on shades of paint.

There's also a 2010 version of this document but it's too large for me to upload. Some of the logos changed in that time but the color codes remained the same.

Unfortunately I can't find a more updated version of this.

Do some on-site investigation! Go to Lowes, get some samples, and catch a game at Hilton, and put the samples against the painted walls, to find a match.

Pretty sure Home Depot has all the teams colors already. I did this when I painted my man cave Hawk colors and it turned out great.
