This page is an article that summarizes a colloquial gaming community term used in Spiral Knights. As such, the following definition might not be consistent with real-world usage.

Many events, promotions, and lockboxes technically have "recolored" items, and many items are technically "recolors" of each other, using the real-world use of the term.

In Spiral Knights, "recolor" specifically applies to a group of items - these are items of the same type that have had the same parts recolored the same way times, just with different color patterns. These are released consistently, so much so that the phenomenon has led to this colloquial use of "recolored" in the Spiral Knights community. Prize boxes for these promotions and events are usually named in relation to the relevant color pattern.

The Crescent Helm, Flak Jacket, Round Helm, and Draped Armor are not styled in hunter, because these costume forms were released during the Surge Prize Box Promotion in September 2012, which was after the Hunter Prize Box Promotion, and the hunter promotion has not been seen since August 2012.

Usually, both costumes and accessories are "recolored." Rarely, only accessories are recolored. This is the case with polar and ancient.

Below are examples of the accessories and costumes commonly styled in "recolor" color patterns:
