Spider-Man Colors: Red, Blue and Miles Morales’ Palette

The classic red-and-blue suit

Red covers the mask and prominent parts of the familiar costume, including the gloves and boots. The blue areas divide the torso and limbs. Dark web lines sit over the red, while pale eye lenses leave two clear shapes in the mask.

Block in the broad red and blue areas first. Add the web lines afterward so they follow the costume panels instead of obscuring them.

Miles Morales: black with red accents

Miles’ familiar suit gives most of the surface to black. Red web details and a red spider emblem sit against that dark field. Insomniac’s description of Miles’ game design identifies the black suit and red spider icon as his recognizable colors. Pale lenses stand out above the red details on the mask.

A digital palette to start with

These five swatches match the palette image below. They are illustrative digital choices, not official Marvel color specifications. Comic printing, animation, fabric and lighting can all produce different shades.

For a brighter comic-style drawing, keep the blue light enough to remain visible beside the dark outlines. A deep blue can merge with those lines in shadow. The cobalt blue swatch offers a deeper alternative to the medium blue above. Compare both beside the same red before choosing.

Keep the mask readable

• Leave a clean pale shape for each eye before adding shadows.
• Use thin web lines where a thick dark line would hide too much red.
• On a dark suit, separate the outline from a dark background with a lighter edge or a change in background color.

Start with one costume reference. Lens shapes, emblems and web patterns change between versions. Pick those details before filling in the smaller areas.
