Official Portland Timbers Color Names
The Portland Timbers’ official MLS crest announcement stated that the traditional Timbers color of Ponderosa was inspired by the pines of Oregon forests and that Moss was used as an energetic accent in the team’s MLS identity.
For the club’s 2025 “Forever Green & Gold” kit, the Portland Timbers described the jersey as a Night Green kit with Victory Gold accents. This supports green and gold as the club’s core visual identity, but it does not provide a complete official color-code specification.
How to Use Portland Timbers Colors
You can use Portland Timbers color references for digital design, website elements, social media graphics, printable materials, fan artwork, presentations and sports-related content. HEX codes are typically best for websites, RGB values are useful for screens and digital design, while CMYK values are mainly used for print projects.
Because the Portland Timbers do not appear to publicly publish a complete official Pantone, HEX, RGB and CMYK table, designers should treat unofficial color-code lists as reference material only. For official merchandise, commercial products, sponsorship materials or club-affiliated branding, use the team’s official channels and trademark guidance before production.
Portland Timbers HEX Color Codes

Portland Timbers RGB Color Codes
The official Portland Timbers RGB color codes are not officially published in the official sources checked for this guide.
