Here’s where to get the real official Olympic logo (color or monochrome) for Microsoft Office documents, sheets, slides or emails. Also the correct color codes to match the rings.
As usual, the most reliable place for a common logo is Wikipedia which has both SVG (Microsoft 365, Office 2021/2019) and PNG versions (earlier versions of Office).

Olympic Ring color codes
For reference, here’s the logo with colors copied from the International Olympic Committee web site. Use these to match the logo with other colors in your document.
The exact and official #Hex color codes are:
Blue: #0078D0 RGB: 0, 120, 208
Yellow: #FFB114 RGB: 255, 177, 20
Black: #000000 RGB: 0,0,0
Green: #00A651 RGB: 0, 166, 81
Red: #F0282D RGB: 240, 40, 45
White: #FFFFFF RGB: 255,255,255 (for background or some monochrome versions).
Note: the Internet has different versions of the Olympic ring color codes. The ones we’ve quoted above are direct from official IOC documentation.
The Olympic logo and even the name ‘Olympic’ are protected by several laws in most countries. Host countries are required to pass laws barring the use of the name or logo, that’s in addition to any copyright laws which might apply.
Black / Monochrome version
Wikipedia also has a black or monochrome version of the Olympic logo, also in SVG or PNG formats.
If you need white rings (for a dark background) either change the color code in the SVG file text or use the tools in Office.
Add a little style
As an SVG, you can make little changes to the logo like adding a subtle shadow effect (Graphics Format | Graphics Effects | Shadow).
These kinds of changes go against the IOC guidelines but are commonly done anyway.
Make sure the logo is correct
It’s easy to get the logo wrong and there’s plenty of incorrect versions around.
This Aussie “official Olympic” TV broadcaster has interlocking rings but the wrong way around (e.g the yellow ring should pass under the blue ring at right, similarly with the green under black ring.)
