Color Pattern

A Color Pattern is a set of three colors. 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

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

About the List Navigation Click on the pattern name to navigate to individual category pages containing items that use that are colored with that pattern in some way. Not all patterns have their own categories. Finding Things Double-click colored fields to highlight color code. Use the Control+F keyboard function to find certain terms that might not be prioritized in the sorting mechanism, such as "shed." The list will "remember" previous sorting commands. To reset table and clear this "memory," refresh the page. Sorting columns will generally sort the lowest value ("0", "a", etc.) to the top. This will group same-type colors together in the primary/secondary/tertiary columns. Sorting the "rainbow" column puts the table in "rainbow order." Organization "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. CTRL+F will find odd combinations that might not sort as desired, like "verdant" and its "pink."
