Does anyone know if the Bull Moose Party (also known as the Progressive Party of 1912) had a color?

In 1912, Teddy Roosevelt split from the Republican Party along with a bunch of progressive Republicans to form their own party, The Progressive Party. I was wondering if anybody knew if they had a color with which they could be identified? Maybe even just a color that was popular to them? Thanks.
I do not believe they had an official color(s). Most of their printed materials or badges where color was used show red, white and blue just like today’s party, although you find some with a sort of “goldish” moose.
Stone, the party was easily identified by the colors, red, blue, gold and white.
The red and blue bull (with white stars on the top half).
A gold bull’s head on a blue background was used on a lapel badge:

But the party colors were actually:
brown and maroon
