name that font!

What is this font? And this color?
Is the font for this company's logo proprietary or can I find it somewhere (like on my computer!)? What about the color?

Response by poster: Thanks! At work, the closest thing to photoshop I have is powerpoint. Or maybe MS Paint!

Best answer: I'm always either trying to figure out a screen color or the size of an online image, so I wouldn't be without the freeware programs HTML Color Picker and Pixel Ruler. And no one has yet mentioned playing "20 Questions" (or more) with Identifont.

I very much doubt there is a font of that logotype.
Whoever is in charge of their publications probably has a specific Pantone color they use consistently. This on-screen version is a pure, 100% saturated red, approx. 81% brightness.

I can pull a high-quality version of the logo out of one of their PDFs, if you'd like. I don't think it's a font either.
From that PDF, the "raw" CMYK colors for the logo are C 9.41 M 100 Y 85.49 K 1.57

The logo is a gif, and it may be proprietary, but I found similar fonts searching "stencil" at Identifont.

There's a Firefox plugin called ColorZilla that gives you a little eyedropper you can use to find the color of any pixel on any web page. (Like the #426746 background of this one.) It kind of rocks.

As far as the color, the eyedropper in Photoshop will tell you. Someone who comes along will surely have access to it; I currently do not.
