Cardiff owner Vincent Tan insists he will not be swayed by protests from fans who want the club to change back to their traditional blue colours.
Supporters groups have announced they will hold protests in January against the club's red strip which was introduced by Tan in 2012 following his takeover two years earlier.
Supporters have been publicly critical of the change but Tan claims he had their support for the switch when he took over the club and has called for them to support Russell Slade's men in their push for promotion from the Sky Bet Championship.
"Cardiff will stay red and we hope the fans will think carefully and support the club so that we can get promoted to the Premier League," he told Sky Sports News HQ.
"They shouldn't protest, they should support the team. They should support Russell and his boys so that we can all do well for everyone, including for the fans.
"They should know that when I first invested in the club, I said I will put in up to £100million if they were to let me change the colour to red and to use the red dragon as the symbol and replace the Bluebirds emblem. I believe, after all, the red dragon is the symbol and is the national flag of Wales.
"At that time everyone agreed so I agreed, I kept my part of the bargain. I have invested, now, more than £100million.
"So if they are protesting, are they keeping their part of the bargain?
"The head of the supporters trust and many organisations supported the change to red because at that time they said they had no choice, if not the club would go into bankruptcy.
"Now that I put in the money, they have changed their mind.
"So I kept my part of the bargain, I think I am honourable and I hope and wish they will be honourable for the sake of Cardiff City Football Club."
He added: "If they want we can talk but you can't force me through protest."
City currently sit eight points off the play-off places in 11th.
