Fun facts

  • The blue and yellow snakes in the logo form a P and an inverse P, stylized as the initials of β€œPython”.
  • The official color definitions are part of the PSF brand guidelines, and these exact hex codes are used across python.org and official merchandise.
  • In syntax highlighting, Python isn’t tied to a particular color β€” but editors often use blue, gold, or green for keywords and identifiers to echo the logo colors.
