Airline brand colors

Tail fins, fuselage stripes, and logotype colors for major carriers �?? expressed as screen HEX for travel apps, boarding-pass PDFs, and simulator UI. Print and paint specs often use Pantone or custom inks; confirm with the airline�??s brand manual before livery or signage.

What this airline hub is

A designer-facing index of recognizable aviation blues, reds, and golds �?? parallel to the car colors directory but for corporate identity rather than booth paint.

How to use it

  1. Filter carriers, open a detail page, and copy HEX into itinerary emails or mobile boarding prototypes.
  2. Pair tail colors with neutrals from Bootstrap or Tailwind for baggage tags and secondary labels.
  3. Check small-type WCAG pairs with the contrast checker when placing alliance logos on colored headers.

Operational documents

Maintenance manuals and safety signage follow regulatory palettes unrelated to marketing HEX. Do not mix those domains.

FAQ

Alliance logos �?? any guidance?

Star Alliance, SkyTeam, and Oneworld publish their own co-brand rules. Treat airline primaries here as one layer; stack alliance marks per each alliance�??s PDF.

Why two blues look identical but HEX differs?

Carriers refresh liveries on different cadences. If two HEX values are close, check the year of the reference photo you matched against.

Can I mock up a flight simulator livery?

Yes �?? approximate HEX is fine for shaders. For add-on marketplaces that require official approvals, follow the platform�??s moderation rules.
