Buckeye Scarlet; Gator Blue
College sports fans love their team colors. No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Florida are No. 1 and No. 4 respectively in The Home Depot’s ranking of Team Colors paint sales.

The home improvement retailer launched the Team Colors line of Glidden paints last April, offering nearly 600 paint colors representing the precise shades of more than 170 teams, including NFL, Major League Baseball, NBA, and Major League Soccer teams, and NASCAR drivers. For example, you can buy the Home Depot orange that represents Tony Stewart’s No. 20 car. 
The line also includes 44 colleges and universities. Rankings through Oct. 31 – the most recent results available recorded before the Buckeyes and Gators were headed to Monday’s BCS National Championship Game in Glendale, Ariz. – put Ohio State’s official scarlet and gray at No. 1 and UF’s blue and orange at No. 4. Georgia ranked second; Michigan was third. Florida State was eighth and Miami 14th.
Sales of the college colors represent more than 25 percent of all Team Color paint sales, the company reported.
