About Mastercard Brand Colors

Mastercard publishes precise digital specifications for the red, orange, and yellow that form its overlapping-circle symbol: #EB001B, #FF5F00, and #F79E1B. The orange is not merely a third decorative swatch; visually it represents the overlap between the red and yellow circles, making color interaction part of the mark’s structure.

Official requirements prefer or require the full-color mark in important payment and screen contexts and provide positive, reverse, grayscale, or solid treatments for defined limitations. Background contrast and the correct artwork configuration matter alongside the numeric colors. The values also illustrate why RGB/HEX, CMYK, and Pantone specifications should not be treated as automatically interchangeable.

This reference does not supply Mastercard artwork or authorize acceptance signage, card design, or trademark use; consult the current Mastercard Brand Center.
