thumb|right|Amtrak's livery has included a variety of designs, most based on a red, white, and blue color scheme. The lead locomotive here is in Phase II livery, while the trailing locomotive is still in Phase I.|alt=A passenger train led by two diesel locomotives. The first locomotive has a black roof, light gray sides, and red and blue horizontal stripes separated by a thin white stripe. The second locomotive has a black roof, gray sides, and a red-and-blue Amtrak logo on the side.
Amtrak has used a variety of paint schemes (liveries) on its rolling stock since taking over intercity passenger rail service in the United States in 1971. A series of seven schemes termed Phases, first introduced in 1972, have seen the widest use. Phases primarily use geometric arrangements of red, white, and blue—the national colors of the United States—part of Amtrak's patriotic visual identity.
Amtrak began operations in May 1971 with a mixture of equipment still painted in the distinct colored liveries of the freight railroads that relinquished their passenger service to Amtrak. The company retained the equipment that it determined to be in the best condition, and elected not to keep the same rolling stock on the same routes. Since this resulted in trains with mismatched liveries, which contrasted with the previous coordinated liveries, that period was later known as the Rainbow Era.
To build the brand of Amtrak as a unified passenger railroad, the rolling stock was gradually repainted into a new system-wide livery starting around 1972. Successive liveries are known as Phases and are sequentially numbered using Roman numerals – a nomenclature that began with model railroaders and was later officially adopted by Amtrak. Most current locomotives use the 2000-introduced Phase V, while passenger cars use the 2002-introduced Phase VI (or Phase IVb). A modified Phase III scheme was introduced for some equipment in 2013. Non-revenue equipment uses bright lime green or a variation of Phase V.
Some routes financially supported by individual states use service-specific liveries to provide a more regionalized distinction. These include the three Amtrak California routes, eight Amtrak Midwest services, the Cascades, and the Piedmont. Amtrak has repainted equipment in unique livery for special uses, including its 40th anniversary in 2011 and to promote the Operation Lifesaver safety campaign. Equipment has also been wrapped for advertising promotions. When testing equipment from other railroads, Amtrak has mostly kept existing livery, though some longer-term tests used Phase schemes.
Rainbow Era
thumb|A "Rainbow Era" Amtrak train in 1971|alt=A passenger train exiting a mountain snowshed. The four diesel locomotives are dark gray, with a red nose on the lead locomotive. Four passenger cars are visible - one dark grey and three yellow.
When Amtrak took over intercity passenger rail service on May 1, 1971, it inherited a collection of rolling stock from twenty different railroads, each with its own distinct colors and logos. Operating only 184 of the 366 privately operated trains, Amtrak was able to pick the 1,200 best passenger cars to lease from the 3,000 that the private railroads owned. Equipment was used nationwide and did not always stay on predecessor routes, resulting in trains with the mismatched colors of several predecessor railroads. This "Rainbow Era" was short-lived; Amtrak began purchasing some of the leased equipment in mid-1971, setting the stage for wholesale repainting from 1972 to 1974 as the equipment was refurbished.
Phase paint schemes
The Phase paint schemes have been used on most passengers equipment – locomotives, passenger cars, and trainsets – as well as some non-passenger cars and non-revenue equipment. Phase schemes generally have red, white, and blue on the sides of equipment, with black or gray sections around the wheels and roof to hide grime.
Phase I
Introduced in 1972, Phase I was the first paint scheme to be implemented system-wide on Amtrak's trains. It was the first new paint for most equipment under Amtrak, except for a small number of locomotives that had been painted into experimental and promotional paint schemes. Amtrak did not initially assign nomenclature for its livery; model railroaders began referring to this first paint scheme as Phase I and numbering all subsequent phases sequentially using Roman numerals. Amtrak later made the Phase numbering scheme the official terminology. Passenger cars were silver (or left bare stainless steel), with a red and bright blue stripe (bracketed by thin white stripes) at window level and the chevron logo at one or both ends. The red nose and chevron logo on Phase I locomotives were replaced with the same stripes found on passenger cars, which wrapped around the nose of the locomotive. Locomotive roofs remained black. Most passenger cars were essentially unchanged from Phase I, except for the removal of the chevron logo; new Sightseer lounges had a higher stripe with an angled transition on each end.
Several types of locomotives that were acquired later were given variations on Phase III. AEM-7 locomotives had the blue stripe expanded to cover the entire lower part of the body. The Viewliner cars have some changes from previous Phase III passenger cars, including a red reflective stripe at the bottom and a newer ("Travelmark") logo.

Phase IV
Beginning in 1993, Phase IV was introduced as a striking departure from the traditional red, white, and blue style seen previously. Brought into service with the delivery of the newer Superliner II cars, Phase IV has two thin red stripes and a thick dark blue stripe.

Phase VII
Phase VII, introduced in 2022, is the latest livery for most Amtrak equipment, debuting on the Siemens Charger ALC-42 locomotives. The design features two tones of blue on the sides, divided by a curved white stripe. The black cab window area is flanked by red and white stripes, with matching red and white sill stripes running the length of the locomotive. In January 2024, Amtrak began repainting Genesis locomotives in the Phase VII livery, prompted by the depletion of Phase V paint supplies at the Beech Grove Shops. Passenger cars began to receive the new Phase VII design in December 2024. Passenger cars utilize different accent colors to indicate service levels: red for first class, light blue for business class, and green for coach class. The name of the car fleet type is printed on the sill stripe. Alongside the rollout of Phase VII, Amtrak reintroduced the practice of naming sleeping cars, with Viewliners being named after rivers east of the Mississippi River while Superliners are named after states and national parks.

Route-specific paint schemes
Thirteen Amtrak-operated, state-funded corridor routes — eight Midwest routes, three Amtrak California routes, and the Cascades and Piedmont — are operated by Amtrak using equipment that is largely owned by the states in which they operate, and painted in custom schemes that deviate from the national Amtrak livery. Several other route-specific paint schemes have been used in the past.
Amtrak California
The three routes under the Amtrak California brand — the , , and — use equipment painted in several custom schemes. The Capitol Corridor and Gold Runner largely use California Cars, F59PHI locomotives, and Charger SC-44 locomotives painted with the state colors of blue and yellow. F59PHI locomotives are gray with a navy blue underside, yellow bottom stripe, black roof, and navy blue cab area; Caltrans and Amtrak California logos are prominent. Single-level Comet IB and Horizon cars used on the Gold Runner have a yellow bottom stripe and a navy blue window stripe with orange, turquoise, and light blue accents<!-- (a nod to the former use of the Comet IB cars by NJ Transit)-->. Several NPCUs used for the service are gray with turquoise and light blue stripes and a curve towards the top rear of the locomotive, red chevron stripes on the front (a nod to a 1985 Caltrain paint scheme), and yellow grab bars.
The Pacific Surfliner uses Charger SC-44 locomotives and Surfliner cars in a deep blue and gray paint scheme. The upper half of the passenger cars are deep blue with a white pinstriping, plus a white pinstripe on the bottom of the cars. The stripes continue onto locomotives, with the blue stripe narrowing and curving under the black-painted cab area. Lettering is white and placed in the blue stripe. Amtrak-owned F59PHI locomotives previously used on the Pacific Surfliner were painted in a scheme to match the Surfliner cars, featuring a large sweeping blue arc running from the front to the top of the locomotive.

Cascades
The Cascades service currently uses two Talgo Series 8 trainsets, Charger SC-44 locomotives, and ex-F40PH NPCUs painted in a brown, light tan, and dark green scheme – the only revenue equipment not painted in a blue-and-gray-based palette. Amtrak Airo trainsets for the Cascades, expected to enter service in 2026, will have a primarily dark green paint scheme. The trainsets will have brown and white sill stripes and window accents, plus graphics of Mount Rainier and Mount Hood.
On the original Charger SC-44 locomotives, the green stripe is narrower and runs along the top and over the cab. One Talgo Series VI trainset was originally painted in blue, silver, and white for a Los Angeles-Las Vegas service that was never implemented. In 2016, one NPCU, #90250, was wrapped in Seattle Seahawks livery for several months. The newer Series 8 trainsets are painted similarly to the older sets. One end has a cab car, where the brown and green stripes come to a point, with the top of the cab also painted green.

Amtrak Midwest
The Charger SC-44 locomotives used on the nine Amtrak Midwest routes (Borealis, , , , , , , , and ) have a blue front with a halftone transition into the gray side, with a red sill stripe. Siemens Venture passenger cars for the services have a matching gray scheme with halftone blue transitions at the end of the window level, with a wider red sill stripe.

Piedmont
The equipment used on the Piedmont is painted in North Carolina state colors, with wide blue stripes on the passenger cars and blue fronts on the locomotives.
- From its 1974 introduction until 1977, the Adirondack used Delaware and Hudson Railway-owned equipment painted in the railroad's blue and gold scheme.
- In the late 1990s, the Adirondack, , and Vermonter each had a baggage car painted with a mural dedicated to the route.<!--If source needed for the Adirondack specifically: http://www.railpictures.net/photo/449084/ -->
- The single RTL Turboliner rebuilt in 1995 for the Empire Service had a one-off paint scheme with grey sides, a red stripe below the window, and white fronts.

EMD E8 No. 4316 and coach 1589 were painted for display in New York when Amtrak began service in May 1971; they saw later use on the Broadway Limited. The locomotive was painted black; the Chevron "pointless arrow" logo on each side wrapped around the front with blue and white safety stripes. The coach has a wide blue window stripe with a large Amtrak logo near one end. Other locomotives, beginning with P42DC No. 130 in Phase II livery in 2016, were repainted to replace heritage units that were damaged in collisions.
The 40th Anniversary Exhibit Train consisted of P40DC locomotive No. 822, NPCU No. 406, modified Budd 10-6 heritage sleeper/Crew Dorm No. 10020 Pacific Bend, three heritage baggage cars used to house exhibits, and Amfleet cafe car No. 85999, used as a gift shop. The whole train was painted in Phase III.

50th anniversary heritage units
thumb|right|P42DC 100 in "Midnight Blue" 50th anniversary livery|alt=A diesel locomotive in dark blue paint
On March 16, 2021, Amtrak announced the release of six heritage paint schemes, all with an "Amtrak 50" logo on the side, to be applied to five Genesis locomotives and one Charger ALC-42 locomotive. The liveries include heritage versions of the black "Day 1" livery on ALC-42 No. 301, a Phase I livery on P42 No. 161, a Phase III "Pepsi Can" livery on P42 No. 160, a Phase V livery on P42 No. 46, and a Phase VI livery on P42 No. 108 that is similar to the first ALC-42 units. The sixth scheme was "Midnight Blue," a dark blue livery on P42 No. 100 celebrating employees who "keep passengers moving across the nation all throughout the night". On December 9, 2021, Amtrak announced that ACS-64 locomotive No. 662 had been wrapped in modified Phase III livery as a promotion for Train Sim World 2.
Other special paint schemes
- The Amtrak California routes have wrapped locomotives to promote the Operation Lifesaver safety campaign. The decals featured bright designs with slogans about being safe around railroad tracks.
- The first three ACS-64 units released from Siemens in 2013 had special decals applied. Locomotive Nos. 600 and 601 received a large American flag on the sides as well as smaller logos for Siemens & Amtrak. Locomotive No. 602 had a "Reliability - Efficiency - Mobility" promotional graphic on the sides. All three were later repainted with a conventional Phase V scheme before entering service.
- In June 2013, P42DC #42 was painted in a red, white, black, and dark blue scheme with a large logo on the side saying "America's Railroad Salutes our Veterans". A blue band near the wheelbase contains 50 white stars. ACS-64 No. 642 and NPCUs Nos. 90208 and 90221 received similar paint schemes in 2015 and 2016.
Non-revenue equipment

Beginning in 1976, Amtrak work train equipment was painted safety orange with black undersides. Light grey livery with a red bottom stripe, similar to Phase V non-passenger cars, was introduced for work train cars in 2004.
Advertising

Since the late 1990s, Amtrak has occasionally rented advertising space on the exterior of its passenger equipment. The ads sometimes take the form of wraps rather than true paint schemes. Customers have included fast food restaurants, auto manufacturers, television networks, and politicians. In some cases, the advertisements were on equipment rented for private use, rather than on equipment in normal revenue service. Notable temporary advertisements have included:
- In 1999 and 2000, a four-car train including P42DC locomotive No. 100, a baggage car, a 1926 railway post office car, a business car, and an exhibit car was used for the United States Postal Service's "Celebrate the Century Express Educational Train Tour". The scheme consisted of an elaborate collection of enlarged stamps and postmarks from 1900 to the 1990s.
- In October 2003, P42DC No. 203 and five Amfleet cars were wrapped in a scheme featuring Monopoly game pieces and money. The train was used as the "Reading Railroad", a special train from Chicago to Atlantic City, New Jersey upon which the first rounds of the 2003 U.S. National Championship were held.
- In August 2004, presidential candidate John Kerry traveled on the "Kerry-Edwards Special", which used P42DC No. 138 wrapped with a "BELIEVE IN AMERICA TOUR" as the lead unit.
- In November and December 2007, a full Acela Express trainset was wrapped to promote The History Channel's show 1968 with Tom Brokaw. The wrap was criticized by passengers for impeding the view from inside the train. A similar wrap was used in 2010 to promote the TLC show Cake Boss.
Test train schemes
Amtrak has tested a number of types of off-the-shelf equipment on the Northeast Corridor and short corridors. Some of these have been painted fully in Amtrak livery:
- Bombardier LRC cars received a variation of the Phase III scheme very similar to the RTL Turboliners. In 2025, it was again painted in the Amtrak scheme by a private operator in Sweden.
Other equipment largely retained their paint schemes from usage elsewhere:
- A Siemens ICE 1 trainset and a Kalmar Verkstad X2000 trainset were tested on the Northeast Corridor and several other routes in 1992 and 1993. The X2000 retained its Statens Järnvägar livery of silver with blue stripes, although it did receive Amtrak lettering; it was pulled by Amtrak diesels on non-electrified routes. On non-electrified routes, it was pulled by two EMD F69PHAC diesel locomotives painted in the same red-on-white scheme. The AVE paint scheme of white with a thick blue window stripe was modified with a thin Phase III red, white, and blue stripe below the windows.
- In 1996, two Adtranz IC3 "Flexliner" trainsets were tested on several Amtrak routes in California, as well as the Metrolink Antelope Valley Line. They retained their Israel Railways livery of white with red, black, and blue sections, with some Amtrak lettering added.
