About American League colours
The American League fields 2 of the Major League Baseball's 3 clubs, split across 1 division: Eastern Division. Between them they use 4 colour values, of which 3 are distinct.
Major League Baseball carries the longest unbroken visual traditions in North American sport, and several clubs use colours that have barely shifted in a century. That continuity makes the exact value matter: a near-miss on a heritage colour reads as wrong in a way a newer brand would not.
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.
