Blue is the traditional background color of the circular Saab emblem.
Saab’s best-known automobile badge used a blue circular field with a red griffin head and gold details. The griffin came from the coat of arms associated with Scania, the southern Swedish region where Saab and its industrial successor had important roots. The blue field helped frame the creature and made the badge visually distinct on the front of Saab cars.
The emblem’s imagery changed across Saab’s history, and not every Saab vehicle used exactly the same version. Some badges emphasized the word Saab, while others presented the griffin prominently. Even so, the traditional circular griffin emblem is strongly associated with its blue background.
The blue should not be confused with Saab’s broader corporate colors or with the colors of the Swedish flag, which is blue and yellow. The emblem’s red griffin and gold crown details are separate elements; the question asks specifically about the circular field behind them.
