One of the most important colorful logos of our time is of course the Google logo. There are slight gradients that make it difficult to call out individual colors for the letters, but these will get you in the ball park.
\nYou can see variants of these colors used in most of their highly stylized Google doodles as well. The designers seem to have a little freedom to explore each hue in their doodles and not stick to a tight color palette.
