There is no "official color" of the LP to my knowledge. But here is the history of our current logo and colors:

The LP has always used the symbol of the Statue of Liberty within our logos. We introduced the current design (including the colors replacing the former bright blue and orange) at our Portland, OR Convention in 2006.

The design and colors were created and selected by a committee consisting of LP Staff and major donors to the party.

The 12 stars on the periphery of the logo represent the month of December. The two larger single stars to the left and right of Lady Liberty represent 11 (one-one). Combined, this represents December 11, 1971, the date on which the Party was formed.

The unique blank face of the LP branded Logo represents the ever-changing face of freedom and also relates to this well known quote:   "The silent, blank face of our "lady liberty" has become an omnipresent symbol of freedom to the people of the United States."

A friendly debate about your party color has become a topic of discord. Is your color gold for the 'Gold Standard' or is it purple for the combination of Republican and Demacrat ideals that your party has been known to champion?
