What the Mitsubishi Motors Logo Colors Mean?
The Mitsubishi logo colors dress a merged family crest. Mitsubishi means three diamonds. Yataro Iwasaki combined the three oak leaves of the Tosa clan, his first employer, with the three stacked rhombuses of his own family's crest, and the result was the three-diamond mark. Red is the brand color; the number three had long carried ideas of strength in Japanese heraldry.

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.
