Color-octet bosons are a universal prediction of models in which the 750 GeV diphoton resonance corresponds to a pion of a QCD-like composite sector. We show that the existing searches for dijet and photon plus jet resonances at the LHC constrain single productions of color-octet states and can be translated into stringent limits on the 750 GeV diphoton rate. For a minimal 5+5 model, the 750 GeV diphoton signal cross section at the 13 TeV LHC is constrained to be below around 6 fb. Future LHC searches for dijet and photon plus jet resonances can establish evidence of a new color-octet state with 20 fb^\ensuremath-1 and validate a pionlike explanation for the 750 GeV resonance.
