What Is BrandPalettes and What Can You Find on It?
Updated
BrandPalettes is a searchable database of brand color palettes and logo color codes. It covers 2,000+ companies, apps, and organizations across 2,846 canonical palettes, and for each brand you can copy HEX, RGB, CMYK, and Pantone values or download a ready-made palette image and logo. It is built for designers, marketers, and developers who need the exact colors a brand uses rather than an approximation pulled from a screenshot.
What you can find on the site
The core content is organized around individual brand palettes. Each entry lists the colors that make up a brand's identity, with the color values in several formats so you can drop them straight into your own tools.
- Brand palettes by name — search a company, app, or organization and get its full set of colors.
- Color values — HEX, RGB, CMYK, and Pantone for each swatch.
- Downloads — a ready-made palette image and the logo.
- Industry browsing — find comparable brands when you don't know the exact name.
- A–Z browsing — work through the full brand list alphabetically.
The homepage surfaces a set of "iconic brand palettes" as a starting point. A few examples show how much the color count varies between brands:
| Brand | Colors listed | Example values |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | #4285F4, #DB4437, #F4B400, #0F9D58 | |
| 10 | #405DE6, #5851DB, #833AB4, #C13584, #E1306C, #FD1D1D, #F56040, #F77737, #FCAF45, #FFDC80 | |

| IKEA | 2 | #0058AB, #FBD914 |
| Coca-Cola | 1 | #E61D2B |
Two things stand out from this list. First, "brand color" is rarely a single value — Instagram lists ten, Microsoft five, Coca-Cola just one. Second, the palette is a set, not a hierarchy, so the site doesn't tell you which color dominates a logo; you decide that from the logo itself.

This is the useful path when you're building a palette for a new brand and want to see what colors are conventional in your sector — for example, checking finance brands before settling on a blue.
How to use it in practice
A typical task: you're matching a client's marketing material to a partner brand's colors and need values your print vendor can use.
- Search the brand by name, or browse its industry if the name is ambiguous.
- Open the brand's palette page to see every color in the set.
- Copy the format you need — HEX or RGB for screen work, CMYK or Pantone for print.
- Download the palette image or logo if you need a reference file rather than values.
The expected result is a set of exact color codes you can paste into a design tool, stylesheet, or print spec, instead of sampling colors from a low-resolution logo.
What to keep in mind
- Palettes are reference sets, not official brand guidelines. The site presents itself as a color reference; it doesn't state that values are supplied or endorsed by the brands themselves. For anything contractual or trademark-sensitive, confirm against the brand's own published guidelines.
- Color count varies, so don't assume a fixed number. Some brands list one color, others ten. Check the specific page rather than expecting a standard palette size.
- Formats serve different jobs. HEX and RGB are for screens; CMYK and Pantone are for print. Copying a HEX value into a print workflow will not give you an accurate result.
- No pricing or account information is stated on the pages reviewed here, so treat access and download terms as something to verify on the site itself rather than assuming they're unrestricted.
