Manila Railway liveries (1885–1917)

Tercera coaches in 1904, one of the few colored images of the Manila Railway era.

There are barely any colored photographs of the Manila Railway era aside from a few postcards and postage stamps made in the 1960s. As the first locomotives of the company were British-made, there are some locomotives that were painted on the sides.

There were two different color schemes for the Manila Railway Dagupan class. Neilson Type A locomotives had a black engine while the side tanks and cab are metallic silver. The side lines between the main engine and the wheels are colored blue. Meanwhile, the Dübs Type B were fully-painted black but had red side lines. No. 17 was later fully painted black under its service with the Manila Railroad.

The color scheme of later locomotives such as the Manila Railway 100 class remains unknown due to having been long scrapped.

Philippine National Railways' liveries (1964–present)

Green livery (1973–2000)

The green livery was the first service scheme of the PNR 900 class and adopted on the Amianan Express service. It was also fitted on the rest of the rolling stock such as the 2000 class. There were initially two variants of this design as denoted on the wing-like "whisker" decals on the locomotives. Those with light yellow whiskers indicate service on the PNR South Main Line while those with white whiskers denote service on the PNR North Main Line. Another livery inverting the colors was added by c. 1986 and was adopted by both the 2000 and 2500 classes.

Commuter Motor Coach livery (1974–91)

The PNR Commuter Motor Coach or CMC diesel multiple units adopted a blue, black and white livery upon their arrival in 1974. These were later replaced with the Metrotren livery in 1991 until they were decommissioned between 2000 and 2009.

Kadiwa livery (1980–1991)

A yellow and orange Kadiwa Express livery was introduced as part of then-president Ferdinand Marcos' Kadiwa program that began in 1980 to bring down the price of agricultural commodities. This livery was applied on the ICF coaches-derived 7E- and 7SE- class passenger railroad cars. The coaches were eventually repainted with the Metrotren livery after Marcos was ousted from office.

Northrail livery (1999–2000)

The Northrail livery was a blue, white and red livery adopted for the 7C and 7A-2000 cars.

Filtrack livery (2009–2012)

Filtrack was the name of the short-lived corporate redesign of the PNR in 2009 after the introduction of the PNR Hyundai Rotem DMU. Several locomotives were given a white and blue livery while coaches were fully painted white. However, not all rolling stock was given as it was easily phased out.

INKA's so-called Ponkan livery is the newest among all the narrow-gauge color schemes. It is a bright yellow-orange scheme that was.

Standard-gauge livery (2019–present)

Both the North–South Commuter Railway's Sustina Commuter sets and CRRC 3-car Express DMUs for the PNR South Long Haul feature some kind of red-orange livery compared to the lighter Ponkan livery.
