Newcastle United Color Codes
The official Newcastle United identity is strongly associated with black and white stripes. Newcastle United’s official crest history also describes a gold inner shield and a blue banderole. However, Newcastle United do not appear to publicly publish an official complete digital brand color specification for HEX, RGB, CMYK or Pantone values on their official website. For that reason, the values below are listed as standard references or best available estimates rather than official brand specifications.

| White | Not officially published | #FFFFFF | 255, 255, 255 | 0, 0, 0, 0 | Standard digital white; official color name confirmed by Newcastle United references to black and white stripes |

Official Color Notes
Newcastle United’s official crest history states that the current crest includes black and white stripes inside the inner shield, a gold shield treatment and a blue banderole carrying the club name. The club’s official kit communications also describe the home kit as using the club’s famous black and white stripes.
Because no official Newcastle United public brand guide was found with exact Pantone, CMYK, RGB or HEX values, designers should treat Pantone values as not officially published and treat the gold and blue values in this article as best available estimates only.
