Hello,
Is there a certain color red that Boston Whaler used/ uses for their logo?
Recipe?
CNYK Formula ?
Branding standard ?

I'm having a trailer power coated and wanted to get it 'reasonably' close.

Thanks

Keeper

The color in Sunbrella fabric is known as "Jockey Red".

What year logo are you looking to match? Some of the older classic logos have more blue to to them while the ones today are more of a pure red.

When I have color matched in the past I have found the Pantone Color for most of the classics to be closest to PMS 202C

Today's logo if I remember correctly is more of a PMS 485C . That color is the MOST widely used red in corp logos...period.

For those who do not know what Pantone is...It is a Print / Paint and Graphic industry standard system of color matching.
