"Rainbow" is roughly based on what the color pattern looks like on average in the game - not all items use each color pattern the same way, or with the same intensity. This allows users to know what to generally "expect" regarding a color pattern. In general, "rainbow" will usually be in sync with primary, less often secondary, and rarely tertiary.

A Color Pattern is a set of three colors known as primary, secondary, and tertiary. This page is a list of patterns used in Spiral Knights to "style" or "theme" items and other entities.

Notes

The terms "color style," "color theme," and "color pattern," as well as many others can be confusing. To clarify:

  • "Style": Seen in the official tooltip description of various prize boxes in-game. It is a good term, but is difficult to use uniformly for all items that use a named coloration because items are often "styled" with a color pattern, but also use other color codes, so style gets mixed up with "theme" quite frequently.
  • "Theme": An item is themed with a color pattern if it uses one or more colors in a color pattern. It is possible for items to be themed with more than one color pattern.
  • "Pattern": a set of three color codes that are easily distinguished by the naming convention and/or behavior of several items.

List

Editor Note Below is an elaborate sortable list. This show/hide contains information about how to use the list efficiently.
