StarCraft II[]

SC2 Colors

Players are usually able to choose their color before a custom match starts.

There are eight primary player colors: red, blue, teal, purple, yellow, orange, green and light pink, with white being reserved for neutral units. More colors are available typically in games with more players. Colors are changed depending on the tileset as to not impact gameplay.

As of Patch 3.3.0, players are able to choose what colors appear for the player's, allied, neutral and enemy units under options.[4]
There is also a color intensity slider.

In single-player missions, colors are not explicitly associated with force names, but red terrans are usually The Dominion, blue are Raynor's Raiders, and pink Mira's Mercs. Moebius Foundation are yellow, Colonist forces are white, and the Covert Ops Crew are black terrans and use a different skin set. Kerrigan's Swarm is consistently colored purple in the single player campaigns, with feral zerg usually being colored orange and Amon Brood being colored red. In the Legacy of the Void campaign, player controlled Protoss Daelaam are colored blue or teal, Purifiers are colored orange, and Nerazim are purple. Both Tal'darim and corrupted Khalai are red. The Tal'darim protoss faction are teal/aqua in the Wings of Liberty campaign and in Heart of the Swarm, and are given their own red skins in Legacy of the Void.

In Co-op Missions, each commander has their own default color, and some use different unit skins as well. For the terrans:

With zerg commanders:

  • Kerrigan is magenta
  • Zagara is dark blue with Leviathan Brood skins
  • Abathur is yellow
  • Stukov is light pink with infested skins
  • Dehaka is blue-grey with primal zerg skins
  • Stetmann is orange with simulant skins.

Among the protoss:

  • Artanis is teal
  • Vorazun is purple and uses Nerazim skins
  • Karax is yellow and uses a mixture of default and Purifier skins
  • Alarak is dark red with Tal'darim skins
  • Fenix is orange with Purifier skins
  • Zeratul is aquamarine with Ihan-rii skins.

Enemy forces are universally red, and yellow is used for neutral AI units and structures. Objectives are also colored yellow.
