development of the vanRaam brand identity

A vanRaam bike is personal. Not only in the way you ride, but also in the look of your bike. Colour plays an important part in this. Will you choose a bold shade, a subtle colour or something in between? With the vanRaam colour palette, you can give your bike a look that suits you.

Why does vanRaam have its own colour palette?

vanRaam is a colourful brand. When we introduced our new logo and corporate identity in 2025, we also wanted to create a more consistent look across our bikes.

That doesn’t mean you have less choice. The colours, stickers and graphic elements are better coordinated, so every vanRaam bike looks great as a whole, whatever colour you choose.

The vanRaam colour palette consists of 30 carefully selected colours. They are matched to vanRaam bikes and to the people who ride them. The colours stand out, while remaining pleasant and timeless to look at. So you can choose a bike you’ll enjoy riding and that really feels like your own.

How was the colour palette created?

vanRaam worked with colour expert Anna ter Haar to develop the new colour palette. She started with vanRaam’s history. Colours such as ocean blue, red and orange have been strongly associated with the brand for many years. We wanted to retain that recognition.

At the same time, we looked at which colours were less effective. We also considered the bikes themselves. The frame of a vanRaam bike is larger and more visible than that of a standard bike. This means colour has more influence on the bike’s appearance.

The colours therefore needed to be bold enough for the larger frame, without looking heavy or solid. The stickers and graphic elements were also reviewed. By better coordinating the colours, shapes and positions, we have created a calm and refined look. Step by step, this led to a palette that suits the bikes, vanRaam and, above all, the people who ride them.
