Go to the UNC web site and see if they list the numbers for their colors and then look at ProWrap numbers, see if one connects. Take a look at Fuji blue dunn color.

Look at ProWrap #404 Teal. Don’t let the teal descriptor scare you. It looks more like the powder blue of the Tarheels to me. I’ve built two rods using it and really pops!

Where do i find the color numbers? Look at my second post. But in the future, if you want to answer a question like this, do an internet search for something like "University of South Carolina school colors" and you will find lots of resources.

My experience with doing theme rods is that the colors used don't have to be exactly conforming to the specified numbers. There is a lot of variation even in the apparel colors that used for schools, and pro teams, too. The way to make it make sense is to come close with the COMBINATION of colors and USE A LOGO ON THE ROD, then the mind concludes that it all makes sense.
