Colors and Meaning
Every blade color, what it stands for and how to choose yours.
Blade color is the first choice most people make and the one they care about most. Each color carries a meaning on screen, and modern blades can show many of them from one hilt.
This hub covers what each color stands for, which sabers show it well, and how to pick a color that suits you.
