Color of the 1951 Geneva Travel Document (Refugee)

The 1951 Convention Travel Document (issued to refugees under the 1951 Refugee Convention) is standardized with a dark blue cover.

This distinguishes it from national passports (often red, green, blue, black) and the 1954 Convention Travel Document for Stateless Persons (which is dark green). The document bears the words "TRAVEL DOCUMENT" and "1951 CONVENTION" on the cover, plus the issuing state's name and emblem.
