Burnley Color Codes
The official Burnley identity is commonly associated with claret and blue. Burnley FC’s official kit descriptions refer to a claret shirt with blue detail, and the club’s history and supporter identity widely use the “Clarets” name. However, an official public Burnley FC brand guide with exact HEX, RGB, CMYK or Pantone values could not be confirmed from the official club website, official Premier League website or an official brand guideline source at the time this guide was prepared.
For that reason, the colour values below are provided as best available estimates for practical design reference. Pantone and CMYK values are marked clearly where they are not officially published.
| Color Name | Pantone | HEX | RGB | CMYK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claret | Not officially published | Best available estimate: #6C1D45 | Best available estimate: 108, 29, 69 | Best available estimate: 0, 73, 36, 58 |
| Sky Blue / Blue Detail | Not officially published | Best available estimate: #99D6EA | Best available estimate: 153, 214, 234 | Best available estimate: 35, 9, 0, 8 |
| White / Supporting Contrast | Not officially published | Best available estimate: #FFFFFF | Best available estimate: 255, 255, 255 | Best available estimate: 0, 0, 0, 0 |
Official Status of Burnley Color Values
The colour names claret and blue are supported by official Burnley FC references, including official kit descriptions and club identity language. Exact HEX, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values are not confirmed as official unless Burnley FC publishes a public brand guide or official media guide that states those values directly.
| Data Type | Status | Practical Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Color names | Officially supported by club usage | Use claret and blue when describing Burnley’s primary club colours. |
| HEX values | Not officially published | Use the estimated HEX values for non-commercial digital design references only. |
| RGB values | Not officially published | Use the estimated RGB values for screen-based mockups, presentations and fan graphics. |
| CMYK values | Not officially published | Use only as a starting point and test printed output before production. |
| Pantone values | Not officially published | Do not claim a Pantone value is official unless Burnley FC releases one. |
How to Use Burnley Colors
You can use Burnley color codes 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.
For personal or editorial projects, claret should usually be treated as the main Burnley colour, with sky blue or light blue used as the key secondary colour. White can be used as a clean supporting contrast colour for backgrounds, tables, typography and layout spacing.
Burnley HEX Color Codes
The main Burnley HEX color code estimates are #6C1D45 for claret, #99D6EA for sky blue or blue detail, and #FFFFFF for white supporting contrast. These values are suitable for HTML, CSS, website mockups, digital graphics and fan-facing design references when official brand files are not available.
| Color | Estimated HEX | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Claret | #6C1D45 | Main headings, hero sections, buttons, badges and primary visual accents |
| Sky Blue / Blue Detail | #99D6EA | Secondary accents, borders, icons, highlights and supporting blocks |
| White / Supporting Contrast | #FFFFFF | Backgrounds, text contrast, spacing and clean layout areas |
Burnley RGB Color Codes
The Burnley RGB color code estimates are 108, 29, 69 for claret, 153, 214, 234 for sky blue or blue detail, and 255, 255, 255 for white. RGB values are useful for screen-based designs, including social media posts, digital banners, video graphics and presentation slides.
Burnley CMYK Color Codes
The Burnley CMYK color code estimates are 0, 73, 36, 58 for claret, 35, 9, 0, 8 for sky blue or blue detail, and 0, 0, 0, 0 for white. CMYK values are most useful for printed materials such as flyers, posters, brochures and merchandise mockups. Because print output can vary by printer, paper, coating and ink profile, always test colours before final production.
Burnley Pantone Colors
Burnley Pantone colors are not officially published in the official sources checked for this guide. Pantone values are useful when designers need consistent colour matching across professional print and branding materials, but any Pantone match for Burnley claret or blue should be treated as a best available reference rather than an official brand specification unless Burnley FC publishes an official brand guide.
Burnley Color Palette for Designers
| Design Role | Recommended Color | Estimated HEX |

| Secondary accent | Sky Blue / Blue Detail | #99D6EA |
| Neutral support | White | #FFFFFF |
Accessibility Tips for Burnley Color Usage
When using Burnley-inspired colours in digital design, make sure text remains readable. Claret can work well behind white text, while sky blue is usually better as an accent or background colour rather than the main text colour. Avoid placing claret text directly on dark backgrounds or light blue text on white backgrounds unless contrast has been tested.
