Official Color and Logo Notes
FC Bayern’s official logo history page states that the club’s colors were initially blue and white in 1900, changed to red and white in 1906, and later reintroduced blue through the Bavarian diamonds in the crest. The same official page also notes that the logo was adapted in 2017 and received minimal color adjustments in 2024.
Because the official club sources confirm color identity but do not publish full technical color formulas, the HEX, RGB and CMYK values in this guide should be treated as best available estimates for practical design reference.
