About Honda Brand Colors

Honda's identity spans automobiles, motorcycles, power products, aviation, and motorsport, so no single badge represents every business in the same way. The automobile H mark first appeared in 1963 and has changed several times. Honda announced another refreshed H in 2026 for next-generation EV and hybrid models from 2027 onward, describing its open shape as two outstretched hands.

Red, black, and silver summarize familiar corporate and vehicle applications but should not be treated as one universal current specification. The automobile H, motorcycle Wing, corporate wordmark, Acura identity, and product badges have distinct roles. Paint, metal, illumination, and display rendering also differ; operational or safety information must never depend on red alone.

This independent reference does not reproduce Honda, H, Wing, Acura, or product artwork, certify vehicles, represent a dealer, imply endorsement, or grant trademark rights.
