Korean Air's most recognizable color scheme is a timeless baby blue and white. This distinctive livery makes it easily identifiable among other airlines. However, a closer look reveals a more complex palette.
Korean Air's Color Palette
While baby blue and white are the dominant and most iconic colors, Korean Air's color scheme actually incorporates several shades:
- Light Blue: This is the primary blue used, often described as a pale or "baby blue." Sources suggest variations in shade and mixing with white to achieve the specific hue. For example, one forum mentions a potential mix of "1108 light blue mixed 30 to 50 percent with gloss white."
- Dark Blue: A darker shade of blue is also present in the livery, though less prominent than the light blue.
- White: White serves as a significant contrasting color to the blues, featured prominently in the aircraft's design.
- Silver: Silver accents are also part of the overall color scheme.
- Red: The Korean Air logo incorporates red, adding a bold accent to the otherwise calming blue and white combination.
The exact shades and their proportions might vary slightly depending on the specific aircraft and age of the livery. Some sources mention variations in the blue shade across different aircraft models, indicating possible inconsistencies in implementation or updates over time.
The official website and marketing materials primarily showcase the light blue and white, establishing this as the brand's most visible and recognizable color identity.
