Montréal Canadiens Color Codes
The official Montréal Canadiens visual identity is based on the team’s red, white and blue look. However, the Canadiens and NHL do not appear to publicly publish a complete official color-code table for HEX, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values in an openly accessible official source. For that reason, the values below are labeled carefully as either digital references or best available estimates, not as official print specifications.
| Color Name | Pantone | HEX | RGB | CMYK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canadiens Red | Not officially published | #AF1E2D | 175, 30, 45 | Best available estimate: 0, 83, 74, 31 |
| Canadiens Blue | Not officially published | #192168 | 25, 33, 104 | Best available estimate: 76, 68, 0, 59 |
| White | Not officially published | #FFFFFF | 255, 255, 255 | 0, 0, 0, 0 |
Important Accuracy Note
The Canadiens provide an official guidelines and specifications website, and NHL.com identifies the Montréal Canadiens as an NHL team in the Atlantic Division. The official Canadiens website also identifies canadiens.com as the official website of the Montreal Canadiens and links to Bell Centre information. Because a publicly accessible official page confirming exact Pantone, CMYK and RGB values was not found, Pantone values are listed as “Not officially published,” and CMYK values are listed as best available estimates.
How to Use Montréal Canadiens Colors
You can use the Montréal Canadiens color codes for digital design, website elements, social media graphics, printable materials, fan artwork, presentations and sports-related content.

For commercial products, merchandise, sponsorship materials or any design that could imply official team approval, consult the Montréal Canadiens, NHL and NHL trademark rules before publishing or selling your work.

Montréal Canadiens Pantone Colors
Pantone values are useful when designers need consistent color matching across professional print and branding materials. No officially published Canadiens Pantone table was confirmed from an openly accessible official team or NHL source during source review, so Pantone values should not be presented as official specifications.

|---|---|
| Canadiens Red | Not officially published |
| Canadiens Blue | Not officially published |
| White | Not officially published |
Design Tips for Canadiens-Inspired Projects
Use red as the strongest visual accent
Canadiens red works well for key headings, highlight bars, call-to-action areas and major team-themed design elements.
Use blue for contrast and structure
Canadiens blue is effective for borders, dark background blocks, section dividers and supporting design elements that need strong contrast.
Use white for balance and readability
White helps keep Canadiens-themed layouts clean and readable, especially when red and blue are used together in the same design.
Check accessibility before publishing
When using red or blue as a background, test text contrast before publishing. White text usually provides better readability on dark blue than on mid-tone red, but each design should be checked in context.
Suggested CSS Variables
The following CSS variables can help organize Canadiens-inspired color references in a website or design system. These values should be treated as practical digital references, not official team-issued CSS.
