NCAA Football API – Team Colors in Roster Endpoint

We've added team colors to the Team Roster endpoint in our NCAA Football API.

Each color is provided as both a hex value and an RGB object primary and secondary).

⭐ Benefit

Team colors were previously available only in the League Hierarchy endpoint. You can now access a team's primary and secondary colors directly in the Team Roster endpoint.

📋 Recommended Actions

Read the new team_colors array from the Team Roster endpoint instead of making a separate League Hierarchy call.
Use the type field (primary / secondary) to select colors rather than relying on array order.
Apply the hex_color or rgb_color value that fits your rendering (e.g., hex for CSS, RGB for native styling).
