New England Patriots colors: names, HEX, RGB and Pantone codes
The New England Patriots use the colors below. The codes come from Teamcolorcodes.com, which lists them as the team's colors but is not affiliated with the team or the league, so treat them as secondary and check the team's brand guide before print work.
| Color | HEX | RGB | Pantone | Where it appears |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nautical Blue | #002244 | 0, 34, 68 | PMS 289 C | Home jersey, helmet and logo |
| Red | #C60C30 | 198, 12, 48 | PMS 186 C | Numbers, trim and the red throwback |
| New Century Silver | #B0B7BC | 176, 183, 188 | PMS 8180 C | Helmet stripe and pants |
Where each Patriots color appears on the jersey
Each Nike jersey style uses the team palette a little differently. The 2026 line-up below comes from our Patriots jerseys 2026 guide.
| Style | Colors | 2026 status |
|---|---|---|
| Home | Navy blue, silver or navy pants | Main home uniform |
| Away | White jersey | Main road uniform |
| Alternate | Red and storm blue editions | Special games only |
| Rivalries (Nor'easter) | Storm blue, six stars | Dec 6 vs. Bills |
| Throwback | Pat Patriot red with a white helmet | Red worn Oct 11, returns Dec 10 |
Our catalog lists 49 Patriots jerseys by colorway: Navy 29, White 7, Red 9, Black 2, Carbon Black 1, Blue 1. Storm blue is a one-off Rivalries color, and black styles in our catalog are fashion colorways. Open the home or away jerseys to compare.
HEX, RGB and Pantone: which Patriots color code to use
A HEX code such as #002244 for Nautical Blue is the six-digit value web designers use. The RGB values (0, 34, 68) describe the same color for screens, and a Pantone number such as PMS 289 C is the ink match printers use for logos and apparel. For a website, a social graphic or a fan-made banner, use HEX; for a printed shirt or sign, ask your printer for the Pantone code.
Colors can look different on a jersey than on a screen, because fabric, lighting and screen settings all change how a shade appears. If you need an exact match for a hat, paint or décor, hold the fabric next to your sample instead of trusting a code alone. Red (#C60C30) is the second shade to check against.
Patriots jersey colorways on our store
Nike names its colorways differently from the team palette, so a College Navy or Scarlet jersey may not match the hex codes above exactly. This table counts what our catalog lists today.

|---|---|---|---|
| Navy | 29 | Game and Limited | Game, Retired Player, Vapor F.U.S.E. Limited |

Matching Patriots colors for game day
Start with the jersey, then keep the rest of the outfit neutral so the Nautical Blue stays the focus. Red works as an accent in a cap, scarf or sneakers, and white or denim are safe base layers. If you want to dress up a Patriots jersey, our jersey styling guide has more outfit ideas, and the washing guide keeps the colors bright after the first wash.
How the Patriots colors changed
The Patriots' blue got darker over time. The 1993 redesign introduced the Flying Elvis logo with a brighter blue and silver, and the current Nautical Blue is the navy you see on the home jersey today. The red throwback keeps the older Pat Patriot look.
| Period | Colors |
|---|---|
| 1971–1992 | Blue #04328C, Red #CC122C and White; the page also lists a brown #4C2E34 |
| 1993–1999 | Blue #012169 (PMS 280 C), Red #C8102E (PMS 186 C), Silver #8A8D8F (PMS 877 C) |
| Current | Nautical Blue, Red and New Century Silver |
