Ducati Color Codes
Ducati's mark is a red shield carrying the name and a diagonal band in silver-white. The Ducati color codes in Hex, RGB and CMYK can be found below. The company was registered in Bologna on 4 July 1926, at first making radio parts; motorcycles came after the Second World War, from the Borgo Panigale plant it still uses. It is owned by Audi, which makes Lamborghini a stablemate.

What the Ducati Logo Colors Mean?
The Ducati logo colors trace to racing rather than the founders. The company began in radio components, and its early badge carried a lightning bolt for that electrical work. Red arrived with the motorcycles and the track wins that followed, and it has carried the brand since. The DUCATI lettering and the diagonal band are left in bare metal, silver on the raised badge and white in flat use.
Ducati Logo Color History
Ducati logo color history moves from the radio-era bolt to a run of red badges from the 1950s on, with a brief 1990s phase of a more graphic red-and-white mark before returning to the plain shield used now.
Ducati Logo Fonts
Ducati logo fonts are a custom italic serif for the wordmark, not sold. A sloped high-contrast serif is the closest match.

Ducati logo in JPG. No transparency, so it is flattened onto white. Safe for documents and slide decks.

Ducati Color Code Shades

Brand colors are chosen for recognition, not for legibility. A failing value here is normal. It means use it as a fill, not as text.
