The U.S. state of Colorado first required its residents to register their motor vehicles and display license plates in 1913.
The basic design of Colorado's license plate, a range of mountains against a white or green background, has been in use since 1960 (except for 1973 and 1975-76). In 2000, a more detailed version of the mountain face replaced the previous monochrome version.

In 1956, the U.S. states and Canadian provinces came to an agreement with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, the Automobile Manufacturers Association and the National Safety Council that standardized the size for license plates for vehicles (except those for motorcycles) at 6 inches (15 cm) in height by 12 inches (30 cm) in width, with standardized mounting holes. The 1955 (dated 1956) issue was the first Colorado license plate that fully complied with these standards: the 1954 (dated 1955) issue was 6 inches in height by 12 inches in width, but had non-standard mounting holes.

Non-passenger and optional types, 2000 to present
When the current passenger baseplate was introduced in 2000, the state also simplified its non-passenger and specialty plates, issuing them in the same serial format (123-ABC) and with similar graphic elements.
Non-passenger types
2000 to present
The serials on non-passenger types are embossed unless noted.

Optional types
2000 to present
Specialty types have surface-printed serials. Some types are available in personalized format, in which case the type logo, which normally appears at the center of the plate between the numbers and the letters of the serial, is absent.
Prior to 2000
Colorado rotates through a 4-color registration tag color starting in 2002. The registration tag colors are the following below.
