Quickbronze he/him Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) So I recently started wondering what determines the color of a shardblade. Are all shardblades of the same order the same color? Are all shardblades period the same color? Does the color differ based on spren or Radiant preference? Edited March 25, 2018 by Quickbronze 1
CrazyRioter she/her Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 I think the base colour is the same for all of them (generic metallic grey). Living Sharblades glow on the order's colour. 1
Quickbronze he/him Posted March 25, 2018 Author Posted March 25, 2018 Do the base colors correspond to their gem's color?
Calderis he/him Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 30 minutes ago, Quickbronze said: Do the base colors correspond to their gem's color? Yes. Pattern glows with a garnet light when we see him in the chasms. I assume Syl with sapphire.
Weltall Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Yeah, Radiant Blade and Plate glows with the color of the Order's associated polestone. We see it in Dalinar's visions (with Stonewards for example) as well as Syl, Pattern etc. The actual metal is uncolored; when Shardplate is described as being colorful it's always dead Plate and it's explicitly been painted to achieve that effect.

NoiseSpren he/him Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Shallan with "red" eyes, "red" shardbleade and "red" hair... It's spine-chilling.
RShara she/her Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Shallan's eyes stay blue, because the part of her spiritweb responsible for the eye color thing has already been written to be blue. The Lightweaver color doesn't over-write it, for whatever reason. Human red hair is generally orangish, rather than red, too

Singers are described as having red or black hair strands, and I always imagined that to mean actual red instead of orange. We know horneaters are a human singer hybrid, and that lots of Vedens with red hair get it from their horneaters neighbours. Maybe Rock and Shallan have actual red hair.
