Rolls-Royce Color Codes
Rolls-Royce's badge is a black RR monogram on white, framed by a brushed chrome surround with ROLLS across the top panel and ROYCE across the bottom. The Rolls-Royce color codes in Hex, RGB and CMYK can be found below. Charles Rolls and Henry Royce joined forces in 1904; the car company has been owned by BMW since 2003 and builds at Goodwood. Its constant rival is Bentley.

What the Rolls-Royce Logo Colors Mean?
The Rolls-Royce logo colors changed once and stuck. The interlocked R's were red until about 1933, then switched to black. The company's account is that black read as more dignified; the timing, the year Henry Royce died, has fed a second story that it was a mark of mourning. The frame is left as bare brushed metal, and the Spirit of Ecstasy figure on the bonnet has always been the same silver.
Rolls-Royce Logo Color History
Rolls-Royce logo color history has one hinge point, the early-1930s move from red to black, and little else. The monogram and the ROLLS and ROYCE panels have held their form for over a century; only the frame has shifted between a flat black line and the raised chrome used now.
Rolls-Royce Logo Fonts
Rolls-Royce logo fonts are a custom serif for the wordmark, unavailable to license. A classical serif such as Times or a Caslon cut is the everyday stand-in.
Rolls-Royce Logo JPG

Rolls-Royce Logo WebP

Rolls-Royce 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.
