San Francisco 49ers colors: names, HEX, RGB and Pantone codes
The San Francisco 49ers 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 49ers Red (scarlet) | #AA0000 | 170, 0, 0 | PMS 187 C | Home jersey and helmet |
| 49ers Gold | #B3995D | 175, 146, 93 | PMS 872 C Metallic | Trim, numbers and pants |
Where each 49ers color appears on the jersey
Each Nike jersey style uses the team palette a little differently. The 2026 line-up below comes from our 49ers jerseys 2026 guide.
| Style | Colors | 2026 status |
|---|---|---|
| Home | Scarlet, gold trim | Main home uniform |
| Away | White jersey | Main road uniform |
| Alternate | Black and 1994 throwbacks | 4 special games |
| Rivalries | All black, gold facemask | Dec 13 vs. Rams |
| Throwback | Red and white | Nov 15, Dec 17, Jan 3 |
Our catalog lists 42 49ers jerseys by colorway: Scarlet 20, White 15, Black 6, Men's White 1. Black is the Rivalries color for 2026 and is not a standard 49ers color. Open the home or away jerseys to compare.
HEX, RGB and Pantone: which 49ers color code to use
A HEX code such as #AA0000 for 49ers Red (scarlet) is the six-digit value web designers use. The RGB values (170, 0, 0) describe the same color for screens, and a Pantone number such as PMS 187 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. 49ers Gold (#B3995D) is the second shade to check against.
49ers 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.
| Colorway | Jerseys listed | Tiers | Styles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scarlet | 20 | Game and Limited | Game, Vapor F.U.S.E. Limited |
| White | 15 | Game and Limited | Game, Vapor F.U.S.E. Limited |
| Black | 6 | Game and Limited | Rivalries, Salute to Service |
| Men's White | 1 | Game | Game |
Matching 49ers colors for game day
Start with the jersey, then keep the rest of the outfit neutral so the 49ers Red (scarlet) stays the focus. 49ers Gold 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 49ers jersey, our jersey styling guide has more outfit ideas, and the washing guide keeps the colors bright after the first wash.
How the 49ers colors changed
The 49ers' red is often called scarlet and the gold is a metallic shade. The 1994 throwbacks revive an older red and white look, and the black Rivalries uniform adds a one-game color that is not part of the standard palette.
For the full story of the uniforms see the 49ers uniform history and the 49ers logo history.
Which 49ers jersey matches the colors
Nike sells the jersey in the Game and Limited tiers; Game is the relaxed fit and Limited is slimmer with stitched numbers, as our tier guide explains. Pick a size with the size chart, then shop all San Francisco 49ers jerseys. For a classic look, see throwback jerseys.
