On this page, yes:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines

It says 'Fedora Artwork team' though, not Design team, which I think
gives a hint at its age (I put together that image around the Fedora 7
timeframe....) Since that page is owned by legal, I don't know its
current status and whether or not it still applies. (It doesn't seem to
have been changed since it was migrated from the old Moinmoin wiki) I
can tell you Pam has been working on a new draft of all trademark
guidelines including for the Remix mark, and that is available here in
its current draft status:

Those guidelines were overhauled but the updates are pending legal
approval (see notice on the top of
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines ). That wiki page is
the most recent version of guidelines - the changes have been made
(mostly back in July), but haven't been made official yet because they
are pending legal approval. The new guidelines *don't* offer up the
possibility for custom colors as the original ones did, and the
intention there was to keep the remix colors consistent with the four
foundations and the secondary color palette that is widely used across
Fedora artwork. (I don't think anyone actually ended up using custom
colors anyway.)

I know it's not ideal to have conflicting guidelines up but I don't
really know what I can do to change that without legal guidance.

If the colors are that close, I would advise keeping life simple and
just using the magenta color the guidelines recommend since it's
unlikely most folks will be able to discern the difference anyway.
