How We Find Out Color Codes

At AutoBrandPalette, our goal is to provide you with the most accurate, up-to-date color information for your favorite car brands. Although it may sound simple, uncovering the precise color codes requires a meticulous approach and a lot of hard work.

Our process begins by selecting a car brand, finding their official logo, and identifying the colors used. This involves more than meets the eye, and we’re excited to share our entire method with you.

We offer RGB, CMYK, HEX, and PANTONE values for every color in the brand’s logo, which involves converting color values across multiple formats. To ensure accuracy, we rely on official SVG logo files or brand guideline documents from the car companies themselves.

Our work starts by choosing a brand. For example, let’s say we’re focusing on a brand like “AutoMax.” We begin by visiting their official website to search for a logo guideline document or color specifications PDF. Some car brands provide these resources, which makes our job easier. If we can’t find the document directly, we conduct an online search to locate it. Once we obtain the color information, we move on to converting it and adding the brand to our database.

However, many car brands don’t publish detailed color data. In those cases, we seek an SVG version of the logo on the official website. SVG files are essential because they’re vector-based, ensuring precise color information. When logos are only available in JPG or PNG formats, colors often vary slightly, making these files unreliable for accurate color data. Even minor variations can affect RGB, CMYK, HEX, and PANTONE values, leading to inconsistencies. So, which file can we trust?

If we’re unable to find an SVG version, we search reputable online sources for a verified SVG logo. We always check the credibility of the source before using it. For instance, if we find AutoMax’s SVG logo on a trusted automotive website, we consider it reliable and proceed with our work.

We avoid using color data from unofficial sources like Wiki pages or fan sites, as the information on these pages is often imprecise. The color codes on such sites might look similar, but they aren’t exact—precision matters to us, and we aim to meet high standards.

When official SVG logos or guideline documents are unavailable, we use JPG or PNG files from the official brand site, comparing them carefully. We select the ones with the most consistent color values used across platforms, ensuring that the information we provide is as reliable as possible.

That concludes our journey to obtain and verify color information for each car brand. Through this detailed process, AutoBrandPalette ensures that every color code on our platform is as accurate and verified as possible, giving you confidence in the colors you find.
