Bandcamp Color Codes
Bandcamp works in a muted teal-blue, hex #1DA0C3, on white. The Bandcamp color codes in Hex, RGB and CMYK can be found below. Ethan Diamond and Shawn Grunberger started it in 2008 as a direct-to-fan store where artists set their own prices and keep most of the money; it was bought by Epic Games in 2022 and sold on to Songtradr in 2023. Its nearest peer on this site is SoundCloud.

What the Bandcamp Logo Colors Mean?
The Bandcamp blue is a calm, slightly grey-green teal that fits a platform built around supporting artists rather than shouting for attention. The identity is deliberately plain, close to a utility, so the music and the artwork uploaded by musicians carry the color instead.
Bandcamp Logo Color History
Bandcamp logo color history has held the blue since the site launched, with only small shifts in saturation. The play-button mark and the wordmark have been redrawn but not recolored.
Bandcamp Logo Fonts
Bandcamp logo fonts are a custom sans, plain and slightly condensed. A grotesque like Helvetica is the closest match.
Bandcamp Logo JPG
Bandcamp logo in JPG. No transparency, so it is flattened onto white. Safe for documents and slide decks.
Bandcamp Logo PNG
Bandcamp logo in PNG, with a transparent background. Use it over a colored surface.
Bandcamp Logo WebP
Bandcamp logo in WebP. Same transparency as the PNG at about a third of the file size.
Bandcamp Color Code Shades
Bandcamp color code shades step evenly from the primary toward black, for hover states, borders and shadows.
These are interface steps, not Bandcamp paint or trim names.

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.
