Color

"It's like the Empire wants to paint over everything with its boring shades of gray, black, and white. Sabine puts the color back. I think TIE fighters look a lot better after one of her paint bombs has gone off."

- Ezra Bridger, on rebel artist Sabine Wren

The color of an object was its property of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way it reflects light. The planet of Felucia hosted many translucent life-forms that colored the sunlight as its beams penetrated their skin. Blue, green red, and yellow were examples of colors.

The color of a Jedi lightsaber's blade was defined by its kyber crystal, which was harvested from the Crystal Cave on Ilum. A lightsaber crystal was colorless until it was found by a Jedi youngling, where the youngling would then become attuned to the crystal and the crystal would display its color. Apparently, this is what governed the colors of Jedi lightsabers. A Jedi's lightsaber blade was usually green or blue; other colors were possible but rare, such as Mace Windu's purple-bladed lightsaber. The Sith only used Sith crystals to produce the red blades of their lightsabers, representing their aggressive and intense view of the Force.

In the galaxy, colors were often culturally significant. For example, the color red was associated with diplomatic immunity under the Galactic Republic. However, the color red was sometimes regarded as intense and aggressive. For that reason, the Sith wielded red lightsaber blades that represented their destructive view of the Force. All languages combined, there existed forty billion, eleven million, seven hundred forty-two thousand, nine hundred and eighty-three accepted synonyms for the color blue. In Basic, known shades of blue included ao, aqua, and azure.

The Galactic Empire favored muted colors of gray, white and black and tried to redesign things in this color scheme wherever possible. Sabine Wren was not in favor of this practice and used graffiti to provide bursts of brighter color.
