What's up with Colorado's black license plates?

Many Coloradans are confused by the blacked-out license plates around the state.

DENVER — If you've been wondering about the black license plates in Colorado, you're not alone.

The blacked-out Colorado license plate with white lettering is one of four historical license plate backgrounds the state is offering.

The throwback black background design is based on the 1945 Colorado license plate.

The Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) also offers a blue background based on the 1914 Colorado license plate, red for the 1915 plate, and a green background based on the 1962-1999 Colorado license plate.

The four historical Colorado license plate backgrounds are available from all county departments of motor vehicles or online, with $25 from the sale of each going to the Colorado Disability Funding Committee.
