The traditional Wimbledon colors are green and what?

The traditional Wimbledon colors are green and purple. More precisely, the All England Lawn Tennis Club traditionally uses dark green and purple for its identity and tournament presentation.

Those colors date from 1909, when the club changed its earlier color scheme because it looked too similar to the colors of the Royal Marines. The combination became closely associated with Wimbledon and remains part of its visual tradition.

The green-and-purple color scheme is separate from Wimbledon’s famous all-white clothing rule. Players are required to wear predominantly white clothing on court, while the tournament’s officials, branding and heritage materials use the club colors. The grass courts themselves contribute another familiar shade of green, but the quiz asks about the formal traditional color pairing.

Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament still held as a major championship, with the first Championships played in 1877. Its conservative dress code, grass surface and dark green-and-purple branding are all central parts of the tournament’s distinctive identity.
