Spotify Color Codes
Spotify works in a single green, hex #1ED760, on black. The Spotify color codes in Hex, RGB and CMYK can be found below. Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon started it in Stockholm in 2006 and launched in 2008; Ek has said the name came from mishearing a word Lorentzon shouted across a room, and they worked out spot and identify afterward. Its nearest peer on this site is SoundCloud.

What the Spotify Logo Colors Mean?
The Spotify green is a bright, spring green that reads as go and sits well on the near-black interface the app almost always uses. The circle with three curved bars is meant to suggest sound waves or a signal; a single strong color is what makes the icon findable in a phone full of app tiles.

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.
