Social Media Colours in 2025 - Hex, RBG, SCSS, PS Swatches

In business, colour psychology is important in social media marketing and branding. The colour association can stir up negative or positive emotions with each individual. Here are the Social Media Colours palettes for popular sites in 2025

Colour is an essential tool for non-verbal communication. When we see a colour, we naturally associate feelings and emotions with it. For example, warm colours have feelings of energy, power, passion and cheerfulness. Cool colours are seen as more refreshing, reliable and trustworthy because this colour plays a significant role in brand perception. Plutchik's wheel of emotions is shown below, and this graphically indicates the range and strength of emotions attributed to a given colour. This can be particularly useful for logo and web design, as the choice of colour can dictate the level of trust or help convey a brand message.

Listed in the table below are social media networks' brand colours in Hex and RGB values; after the table, you will find the list presented in SCSS and LESS variables, which you can copy and paste into your styles and at the end of the article, you can download the social media brand colour swatches which can be installed into Adobe Photoshop for your icons and PSD mockups.

What Are Brand Colours?

Brands and colour are inextricably linked because colour offers an instantaneous method for conveying meaning and message without words. Brands communicate meanings with the language of colour and shape. Colour is the visual component people remember most about a brand, followed closely by shapes/symbols, numbers, and words.
