Klean Kanteen Water Bottles: Color Names and Meanings

We're excited about our ever expanding variety of colors in the Klean Kanteen® Classic line. From bright, vibrant shades to more subdued, low key tones, we've tried to create a palette that offers something for everyone.

Our Klean Kanteen® Insulated continues to receive rave reviews for its incredible performance, versatility, and wide-mouth design. It is also available in bold, rich colors, to compliment the more traditional brushed stainless.

But if you've been paying close attention, you know that to us, colors are more than just pretty eye candy. At Klean Kanteen® we choose names for our colors that represent our company and our people, and that reflect our values and philosophies.
