Facebook Blue represents the brand and logo color of Facebook. Facebook's primary logo has a Blue background with a white 'f' used on the Facebook website, app, and other marketing materials.
Facebook refreshed its logo in September 2023, and the new blue shade goes darker to make it more visually accessible in the app and to make the "f" stand out.
According to Facebook, the key drivers behind the brand identity design are:- Elevate the most iconic elements of our brand to create a distinctive, refreshed Facebook
- Unify how the Facebook brand comes to life across product-to-marketing experiences
- Create an expansive set of colors — anchored in our core blue — that is comprehensive and vibrant and also designed to be more accessible to people.
