Primary Palette

The Denver logo color palette is comprised of five colors that represent this vibrant city.

Spot-color printing is the preferred option and should be used whenever possible. However, four-color process printing may be used when spot-color printing is not available or cost effective. When the logo is used on the on screen, the RGB format should be used and hex values should be used for the web. The Denver logo spot colors and their corresponding four-color process, RGB and hex formulas are listed below.
