The vivid hues of Felucia's environment were abundant.
Color, in essence, is the quality of an object that evokes distinct sensations in the eye based on how it reflects light. On the planet Felucia, numerous translucent organisms existed, imbuing the sunlight with various tints as it passed through their forms. Examples of colors include blue, green, red, and yellow.
The kyber crystal within a Jedi lightsaber determined the color of its blade. These crystals were sourced from the Crystal Cave on Ilum. Initially colorless, a lightsaber crystal would reveal its color upon being discovered by a Jedi youngling. This occurred as the youngling attuned themselves to the crystal, with the color reflecting their "spiritual alignment." While green or blue were common colors for a Jedi's lightsaber, other hues were possible, as exemplified by Mace Windu's purple-bladed lightsaber. Sith often brandished red lightsabers due to the bleeding process, where they employed the dark side of the Force to subjugate a kyber crystal to their will. Conversely, Jedi could use the Force to heal them of the dark side's influence, resulting in a white coloration.
B1-series battle droids of specialized types could be identified by the colored markings present on their armor. Pilot droids were marked in blue, security droids in red, and command droids in yellow.
Throughout the galaxy, colors often held cultural significance. Red, for instance, was associated with diplomatic immunity within the Galactic Republic, serving as a warning against attack. As an indicator of ambassadorial status and neutrality under the Republic, a fully red color scheme, like that of the Consular-class space cruiser Radiant VII, signified a vessel originating from the capital world of Coruscant. Sheev Palpatine, the Supreme Chancellor, favored red, and it was adopted across Republic vessels during his tenure at his direction. Furthermore, dark red was the predominant color for Republic ships and vehicles during the Clone Wars, while Separatist counterparts primarily used dark blue. However, the color red was sometimes viewed as aggressive and intense. Therefore, the Sith wielded red lightsaber blades, symbolizing their destructive perspective on the Force. Despite this, members of numerous Force-worshipping sects from Jedha wore scarlet robes.
Similarly, the white color of clone trooper armor represented an honorable symbol of defense, which later transformed into a symbol of conformity under the Galactic Empire. During the Clone Wars, clone troopers were commonly referred to as "the boys in white." Silver was used as a status symbol for royalty in the Old Republic era, with residents of Naboo using chromium to adorn their starfighters and cruisers.
Across all languages, there were precisely 40,011,742,983 recognized synonyms for the color blue. In Galactic Basic Standard, known shades of blue encompassed ao, aqua, azure, and royal blue.
The Galactic Empire favored subdued colors such as gray, white, and black, attempting to standardize ships, uniforms, and other government assets with this color palette. Sabine Wren opposed this practice and used graffiti to introduce vibrant splashes of color. Within the Imperial Military, white tunics were typically reserved for Grand Admirals or members of the Imperial Security Bureau. Imperial armor was frequently black, as seen on figures like Darth Vader, TIE pilots, members of the Inquisitorius, and Moff Gideon.
The flight suits worn by starfighter pilots of the Resistance were dyed in a shade known as "interstellar orange." Each squadron was also identified by specific hues, such as Red, Green, and Blue Squadrons, along with their respective leaders.
On Tatooine, where podracing was a popular sport, racers displayed diverse colors on their vehicles and flags.
In Tarisian culture, purple was regarded as the "color of administration."
Caf served without cream or sugar was termed "black"; Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi was known to favor black caf. One particular type of caf was described as "black and sweet".
When it came to clothing, personal color preferences varied. For instance, when Luke Skywalker donned an Imperial officer's uniform during a mission to Coruscant, a fellow rebel remarked that he looked striking in black. Subsequently, Skywalker adopted black attire.
A human parent could transmit their eye color to their offspring. Ben Solo possessed the same intense brown eyes as his mother, Leia Organa, who believed it to be a trait inherited from her birth mother, Padmé Amidala.
Traditionally, the color of clone trooper armor indicated ranks like sergeants and lieutenants. However, this practice was discontinued as the war progressed, and color was instead used to identify a trooper's division or unit.
Luke Skywalker's black attire in the 1983 film Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi was intentionally designed to mirror the appearance of Darth Vader.
