Spotify Brand Colors

Spotify's primary brand colors are Spotify Green (#1DB954), Spotify Black (#191414), and white. The vibrant green is used for the logo, calls-to-action, and brand accents, while black serves as the dominant background across the app and marketing materials.

Color	HEX	RGB	Role	Usage
Spotify Green	#1DB954	rgb(29, 185, 84)	Primary	Logo, CTAs, brand accents, active states
Spotify Black	#191414	rgb(25, 20, 20)	Background	App background, dark mode UI, marketing posters
White	#FFFFFF	rgb(255, 255, 255)	Text	Body copy on dark backgrounds, secondary UI

Spotify's signature green has shifted over the years — the original 2006 mark used a darker #84BD00, but the company refreshed its identity in 2015 with a brighter, more saturated #1DB954 that reads better on small screens and across the high-contrast dark UI Spotify is known for. The black background isn't pure #000000 but a slightly warmer #191414, which reduces eye fatigue during long listening sessions.

Spotify enforces strict logo color usage: the green wordmark and circular icon only appear on white or the brand's signature black. Co-branded materials must keep the green at its exact hex value — no tints, shades, or gradients allowed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the exact hex code of Spotify green?

Spotify Green is #1DB954 in HEX, rgb(29, 185, 84) in RGB, and hsl(141, 73%, 42%) in HSL. This is the current 2015-refresh green used across the app, logo, and all marketing materials.

Why did Spotify change its green color in 2015?

The original #84BD00 green felt muted on small mobile screens and lacked punch on dark UI. The new #1DB954 is brighter, more saturated, and reads clearly on Spotify's signature near-black background.

Can I use Spotify's colors in my own design?

Spotify allows third-party use of their brand colors only when the design clearly relates to Spotify (e.g. a 'Listen on Spotify' badge). Using Spotify Green as your own primary brand color without Spotify context can risk trademark dilution claims.
