Add Constructor/Team Colors

It would be very helpful to have team/constructor colors included in the API responses,
particularly in the Constructor objects and driver standings endpoints.

Use Case

Currently, when building F1 applications, developers need to maintain local data files
with team colors to display driver/team information with proper branding. Including
colors in the API would eliminate this need and ensure consistency across applications.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a color or teamColor field to the Constructor object:

{
  "constructorId": "red_bull",
  "name": "Red Bull",
  "nationality": "Austrian",
  "url": "...",
  "color": "#3671C6",  // or "teamColor"
  "colorSecondary": "#FF0000"  // optional secondary color
}

Will this require a new data source?

After researching potential automated sources, I haven't found a reliable API or data feed that provides official F1 team colors that could be automatically ingested.

Proposed approach:
A community-maintained JSON file in the repository (similar to how some projects handle supplementary data like country codes or icons).

I'm currently maintaining this data locally for my own app and would be happy to contribute it as a starting point. The data could be updated via PRs as teams rebrand or new teams join.

This would be incredibly useful!

Given that teams change their color scheme almost on an annual basis, I would second a community maintained JSON as a potential MVP unless a better, reliable and automated source can be found.

This seems like a great idea, the data can live in https://github.com/jolpica/jolpica-f1-data.

Could you send me a list of proposed primary/secondary colours for last/this season to start with?

this is for last season(2025):

[
  {
    "team": "Mercedes",
    "hex": "#00D7B6",
    "rgb": [0, 215, 182]
  },
  {
    "team": "Red Bull Racing",
    "hex": "#4781D7",
    "rgb": [71, 129, 215]
  },
  {
    "team": "Ferrari",
    "hex": "#ED1131",
    "rgb": [237, 17, 49]
  },
  {
    "team": "McLaren",
    "hex": "#F47600",
    "rgb": [244, 118, 0]
  },
  {
    "team": "Alpine",
    "hex": "#00A1E8",
    "rgb": [0, 161, 232]

    "rgb": [24, 104, 219]

  {
    "team": "Kick Sauber",
    "hex": "#01C00E",
    "rgb": [1, 192, 14]
  },
  {
    "team": "Haas",
    "hex": "#9C9FA2",
    "rgb": [156, 159, 162]
  }
]

Now available here:

Still need to:

• Make a git based way to update colours by the community (current data importer needs some adjustments)
• Finish up alpha endpoints before beginning of this season

Currently do not plan to add this info to the ergast endpoints as we ideally want people to move away from them.
