About Citroen Brand Colors

Citroën's double chevrons have moved between mechanical reference and graphic simplification for more than a century. Historic versions used yellow or gold, white chevrons on red, and later rounded silver forms. The 2022 emblem returned to a wider pair of chevrons enclosed by a softer oval, deliberately reconnecting the current mobility identity to the brand's earlier roots.

Red, white, and gray describe only one period of a mark whose form and color have changed repeatedly. They do not specify vehicle paint, metal badges, dealership environments, historical signs, or current digital assets. Exact chevron proportions and the surrounding oval matter; operational and safety meaning must remain independent of identity color.

This unaffiliated reference does not reproduce Citroën artwork, authenticate historic badges, certify vehicles, represent a dealer, imply endorsement, or grant trademark permission.
