New Zealand Colour Palette

About this palette

New Zealand uses a national colour palette that can be explored as a design reference for articles, graphics, sporting events, presentations and creative projects.

Deep blue with red and white creates a formal, traditional sports palette.

You can also explore related flag colours, open the palette in the colour tool, or compare it with articles that use similar colour ideas.
