Welcome to my Fashionframe Color Scheme Guide Revisited!

Here, I aim to provide 20 color schemes from around Warframe, along with some themed attachments, for you to enjoy. This Guide is based on my older Fashionframe Color Scheme Guide Vol. 1, which can be found here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/WarframeRunway/s/cDFGlJavCr

In this Revisited version, I will use better screenshots, more accurate colors as well as a broader selection of colors along with a short, informational paragraph for each entry that will describe my reasoning behind the choices I've made as well as provide details for the fashionframes at hand. Moreover, I'll iron out any mistakes I made in previous entries. There are going to be entries from previous installments in here but also some never before covered.

In this guide, we'll be taking a look at colors for the following themes, in order: Stalker, Umbra, Entrati, Prime, Dex, Prisma, Wraith, Vandal, Nightwatch, Tenet, Sentient, Scaldra, Anarch, Murmur, Lunaeus, Festive, Solstice, Calaverita, Towsun, Lodestar.

If there's a color palette you don't own, I strongly suggest you visit the Warframe Color Picker website to quickly and easily get alternative colors for all the colors I used here: https://warframecolorpicker.app/

In case you're struggling to understand what my color codes mean:

Every color palette comes in five columns that I label A-E as well as eighteen rows that I label 1-18. That way, the color in the uppermost left corner is A1, while the color in the lowermost right corner would be E18. For instance, Smoke A18 is true black. That's the eighteenth rectangle in the first (A) column - the lowermost left color on the palette.

In my fashionframe setups, the column of colors on the left hand side goes primary, secondary, tertiary, accents, emissive, energy from top to bottom, for the gear that I used as a reference when pulling the colors. This means that whatever color combination you see applies to the item referenced ONLY in about 90% of cases and doesn't automatically translate to other attachments, warframes or weapons shown and have to be fiddled with a little bit. I will give a brief explanation to each case shown in the description below.

As for the image editing software I used to assemble these cards: Since I am using my PS4 and my phone exclusively for this, I am using my Samsung Galaxy S22's built-in collage feature and basic editing software for all of these. Screenshots are taken using the PS4 itself. For easy access, I send the screenshots to my wife's chat inbox and download them directly to my phone. The screenshots are taken in the Orbiter Captura scene. I have a Zariman wall panel erected as the background to my arsenal. If you've been following my fashionframe posts for a while, I'm creating all of them like this.

Vol. IV: Corpus Edition: https://www.reddit.com/r/WarframeRunway/s/yFyU8mXDoU

Without further ado, let's get into it. Here are 20 color schemes from around the game, as researched and interpreted by me.

Stalker Colors:

Gear used: Nyx Ampulex Helmet, Nyx Skin, Deathmark Shoulder Armor, Dread, Despair, Hate, Sirius & Orion Noble Animation Set

Just like the original guide, let's begin with the Stalker colors. Only this time, I supply a secondary emissive color. I couldn't really get an energy color from any of the Stalker's gear, so I chose Fire E7 for that one. The colors themselves were pulled from the Deathmark Shoulder Armor and from his three weapons. The Deathmark shoulder armor specifically is a piece of armor obtained during a past Nightwave that was Stalker-themed and it emerges that its colors match the Stalker's weaponry. HOWEVER. It is absolutely necessary to mention that the colors I display for this showcase apply to that piece of armor and the weapons ONLY. If you want to make a Stalkalibur or a Femstalker using Nyx, you'll have to put the Smoke A14 in the primary, secondary and tertiary color channels and the Rollers C3 in the accents color channel to get the intended look. If you apply all colors shown in order of appearance to a frame, it's not going to look like the Stalker. Regrettably, the Lower Guardian chest piece's color channels don't match the Deathmark Shoulder Armor at all, which is why I didn't include it here. I also intentionally didn't include the Shadow Stalker and the Protector Stalker in this guide. The Shadow Stalker is just the regular Stalker equipped with the Pakal armor set and the War heavy blade (which are both Sentient-themed). The Protector Stalker, on the other hand, is merely the base Stalker with Jade's energy color as emissive and the Enlightened Hate scythe skin. Both of them aren't worth making dedicated color guides for.

Umbra Colors:

Gear used: Excalibur Umbra Helmet, Excalibur Umbra Skin, Umbra Armor Set, Skiajati, Excalibur Umbra Noble Animation Set

The Umbra colors are probably among the most well-known colors in the game. In part because The Sacrifice dropped in U23, which was in the year of our Lotus 2018. So everyone and their mother along with all the siblings and pets have one (or two in my case). The colors aren't 100% correct, more around 99% as they're the right hue but there's the tiniest difference in brightness compared to the default Umbra colors, but it's almost unnoticeable if you don't know it. Additionally, my choice for Prime Finish D1 (yes, I know it's one of the two color palettes that costs regal aya) is simply because the golds from Prime Finish get the color exactly right. But depending on whether you have that palette or not, Orokin D11 or D12 should do the trick just fine (or whatever gold color you'd like to supplement instead). Moreover, if you happen to own the Deca Heirloom Color Picker palette, the dark greys in there are pretty much spot on. For accessibility reasons, however, I will refrain from using this particular palette in any of my setups because it causes a lot of grief. Did you know? From the The Teacher quest we know that Excalibur Umbra's default loadout includes the Paris Prime bow and the Aklex Prime dual pistols next to the Skiajati nikana.

Entrati Colors:

Gear Used: Nova Netrastelle Helmet, Nova Netrastelle Skin, Mulciber Armor Set, Onos, Saryn Noble Animation Set

What I call “Entrati Colors” is basically the color scheme and aesthetic that most of the Entrati family's gear that you can acquire in the game has, visible on Necramechs, weapons like the Trumna and even some Tennogen skins that have adopted the aesthetic. And above all, the Mulciber armor set, said to have been created by the inventor of the necramechs. The colors shown have been pulled directly from that armor set. I know that we'll soon get a new necramech-themed armor set that is called “Contegerus”, but I didn't want to wait on that. Please note that the colors shown, as well as the order they appear in here, reference the Mulciber armor set, NOT the Nova skin. The colors used are the same, but the secondary and tertiary colors, those being Storm C6 and Smoke A12 respectively, are swapped in the Netrastelle skin. Additionally, since I couldn't source the energy colors from the Mulciber armor set, I instead sourced them from the Onos. The glowing glass tube represents the energy color and it took me quite a bit to get the balance of the two shades of blue exactly right.

Prime Colors:

Gear Used: Loki Prime Helmet, Loki Prime Skin, Lex Prime, Loki Noble Animation Set

“Prime Colors” is basically what I call the universally recognizable Orokin prime aesthetic that is found with most Orokin items as well as the majority of primes, especially the earlier ones. Therefore, I found it apt to pick base Loki Prime as my model for this one, equipped with a simple Lex Prime. I really tried to make a point of not using his actual colors from the Prime Finish color palette but instead choose only easily accessible alternatives. I must admit that I'm kinda proud of having found an alternative for that Orokin gold-brown within the Storm color palette. I'm telling you right now that this color palette is incredibly versatile and holds a surprising amount of interesting colors when you least expect it - I find myself coming back to it often for some really niche choices. I highly recommend getting it. You won't regret it. For this fashion, I also refrained from using any prime attachments or syandanas. I wanted a very purist showcase. Also, turns out that Loki Prime and Lex Prime share the exact same colors. Who knew?

Dex Colors:

Gear Used: Excalibur Dex Helmet, Excalibur Dex Skin, Dex Raksaka Armor Set, Dex Ephemera, Dex Signa, Dex Nouchali Syandana, Dex Furis, Dex Nikana, Excalibur Umbra Noble Animation Set

These colors reference the Lotus-themed anniversary gear that has been part of the game since March 26th, 2014, with the first ever anniversary dropping the Dex Furis and the most recent one the Dex Signa from this year. For this showcase, I pulled the colors from 2020's 7th anniversary Dex Raksaka armor set. This armor set's colors are consistent with all the Dex weapons as well as the Dex Nouchali Syandana, but not with the Dex Ephemera and the Dex Signa. Similarly, the three Dex warframe skins for Excalibur, Rhino and Wisp don't match the purple lavender silver aesthetic at all and all feature different colors for some reason. For the purposes of this showcase, I have used my Excalibur in full Dex gear and adjusted the colors to match the armor set. But Dex colors are weirder than that. I couldn't really get an energy color from the armor set, so I instead took the energy color from the signa. The ephemera's energy color is more of a pink, which doesn't fit the aesthetic at all. Additionally, the signa's color channels do not match the armor set, which is incredibly frustrating. It worked out well enough, however. I really do like these colors and I rarely get to use nice purples like that.

Prisma Colors:

Gear used: Excalibur Prisma Avalon Helmet, Excalibur Prisma Skin, Prisma Daedalus Armor Set, Prisma Hecate Syandana, Prisma Twin Gremlins, Excalibur Umbra Noble Animation Set

Now, here's the thing: I'm a little mad about the Prisma Colors for two reasons. Firstly, Excalibur is, so far, the only warframe that has a dedicated Prisma skin - it even comes with his three alt helmets. That skin dropped in anno 2015 in U16.9 and has, since then, remained the only warframe Prisma skin in the game. Plenty of Prisma cosmetics and weapons have been added in the meantime. But this is just ridiculous. As for the second reason: the colors for the Excalibur Prisma skin are the exact same that any of the prisma armor sets, syandanas and weapons use, but the color channels are all totally off and don't match at all, requiring you to finagle them into submission if you want to match them perfectly. Other than that, it's a fairly uneventful aesthetic but lends itself to a lot of gold because of the abundant metallics in the attachments, which is nice.

Wraith Colors:

Gear used: Mag Ferro Helmet, Mag Celestis Skin, Harkonar Wraith Armor Set, Harkonar Wraith Syandana, Twin Vipers Wraith, Machete Wraith, Sirius & Orion Noble Animation Set

No, your eyes aren't tricking you, the colors displayed on the left here are slightly different from each other even though I have labeled them the same. This is because in order to create a color column, I need to have six color squares from top to bottom in my color favorites for me to take a screenshot of in order to work it into the image. But since you can't fave the same exact color more than once (because why would you?) I had to do a workaround in order to get a full six-color column, even though the Wraith gear really only features two colors: dark purple and bright red. The colors for this setup are pulled from the Wraith Armor set directly and match the syandana and the Wraith weapons. But of course, they don't really match any available warframe skin since a Wraith skin doesn't exist for warframes (unlike Prisma). I picked the Celestis skin here for its abundance of metallics that I could color with lots of the purple and only one color channel that isn't metallic for the red. I do wish for a dedicated warframe Wraith skin though. The original Mag Wraith fashion I have features the Mag Heirloom helmet, but I have changed it to Ferro for this setup for accessibility reasons.

Vandal Colors:

Gear used: Nova Corpra Helmet, Nova Voidshell Skin with Ayatan Elegance (browns) and Tarnished Morphics (blues), Arca Solstice Armor Set, Officium Syandana, Gloriana Ephemera, Spectra Vandal, Prova Vandal, Khora Noble Animation Set

To my utmost regret, unlike Wraith, the Vandal aesthetic doesn't have its own armor set so I had to get creative in order to get a cohesive fashion setup. The original Arca armor set is Corpus based and since all of the Vandal weapons are Corpus derivatives, I created this setup with Corpus gear in mind. Therefore, the Arca Solstice made sense for its two metallic and two non-metallic channels, just like the Vandal weapons that I sourced the colors from. All colors are pulled from the Dera Vandal since it's the only one that lets you see the emissive color clearly enough to try and reproduce. However, since there isn't any gear that could have given me an energy color, I just used the emissive color as the energy color as well. This works pretty okay in my opinion. I also opted to use the Voidshell skin instead of the Corpra skin because I could better customize the surface materials to fit the Vandal look.

Nightwatch Colors:

Gear Used: Nova Graxx Helmet, Nova Graxx Skin, Torvon Chest Armor, Kuva Tireg Shoulder Plates, Saturn Six Knee Plates, Flankon Signa, Lumbox Tactical Syandana, Grinlok Nightwatch Skin, Marelok Nightwatch Skin, Ack & Brunt Nightwatch Skin, Valkyr Noble Animation Set

Nightwatch colors are strange because while the only real way of obtaining them is to pull them from the corresponding Nightwatch weapon skins, among each other they are always a little different. To fact check, I also went through the trouble of spawning in Nightwatch enemies in Captura in order to correctly match their colors with my warframe to get an accurate color combination. The result is more or less an average color as opposed to a definitive choice, so take this with a grain of salt. The problem with pulling the Nightwatch colors from any piece of equipment we have access to is the fact that exact hue and shade differ from item to item for some reason. The obvious choice to get the colors would be Ack & Brunt because of the shield's large surface area, but once you do pull the colors and apply them to any other Nightwatch skin you will notice that the colors are noticeably darker than any other skin's default colors. Additionally, the Nightwatch Ogris skin and Nightwatch Tonkor skin feature blue emissives while the rest of the lineup features red-orange emissives for some reason. And the colors of the actual Nightwatch units don't match up with any of the weapon skins either, creating an aesthetic that looks homogeneous at first glance but is actually kinda all over the place. So I had to settle for color averages that capture the theme as best as possible instead of relying on my usual definitive color choices. You might also notice that I used some non-Grineer attachments for the fashion itself - a stylistic choice. The Grendel Turbis attachments are Grineer-adjacent enough to fit the theme without causing disruptions in coherence. The Flankon signa especially is doing a lot of work here. And since none of the items I used for obtaining the colors have a way for me to determine the actual energy color, I stuck with a darker, fiery orange-red as a default measure. It fits the aesthetic, but I do, in fact, not know the actual energy color here.

Tenet Colors:

Gear used: Nova Corpra Helmet, Nova Corpra Skin, Iridos Chest Plate, Sorex Shoulder Plates, Quaro Leg Plates, Zarina Ephemera, Pragmatica Signa, Officium Syandana, Tenet Spirex, Yareli Noble Animation Set

The Tenet colors shown here were directly pulled from the Tenet Arca Plasmor, but any Tenet weapon would have been fine for this as they're all colored the same way. Since there are no Tenet armor cosmetics (regrettably, unlike Kuva) I stuck with mostly Corpus stuff - except for the chest piece. I used the Iridos Chest Plate specifically because it looks like the head of a Hec Hound. The Officium Syandana is also making a return here because it's simply so good for Corpus fashion. An obvious choice in my book. Get it if you can. The Nova Corpra Skin itself is lacking the dark grey displayed on the left here because it has two metallic channels (which I colored blue) and the dark grey is uncolorable and just part of the skin so it worked out nicely. Among the enemy fashions that you can do, Tenet is probably my second favorite aesthetic, second only to Scaldra. But we'll get to Scaldra a little bit later in the guide. Did you know? Most Tenet weapons, original or adapted, collapse into a compacted version of themselves when holstered. In the case of the originals like Tenet Diplos or Tenet Grigori, they turn into legit suitcases that you can use if you want to do a business suit fashion. The Tenet Spirex, however, does none of this. I have also not done a “Kuva Colors” entry because that would mean to decide whether I want to use the colors from the Kuva armor set, Kuva lich set or Kuva weapons. It was just too much trouble. If you're looking for the Kuva weapon colors, I've made a fashion for it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/WarframeRunway/s/2qg1IC9Tq4

Sentient Colors:

Gear used: Mesa Projectilyst Helmet, Mesa Projectilyst Skin, Naktavyre Chest Armor, Protovyre Emergent Leg Plates, Protovyre Apex Ephemera, Kyzen Signa, Ninurta Claws Skin, Mesa Noble Animation Set

Now, I could have pulled the Sentient colors directly from Caliban whose exact colors are featured in the Tenno III palette from A12 to E12. But Caliban features a few unique materials that result in his colors looking off when applied to other frames or Sentient-themed gear which makes everything a bit discolored. Caliban is a good starting point, however, if you have access to Tenno III but not the other color palettes I've chosen. So instead, I went ahead and pulled the colors from one of the official Sentient deluxe skins. What's notable here is that in this particular case, the colors for primary and tertiary are swapped, as usually, the primary color for all things Sentient is this bone-y off-white, the tertiary is this dark grey-purple color. Only on this skin, it's the other way around. So while I did pull the colors from this skin, I rearranged them such as to match most other Sentient-themed gear. So keep this in mind when messing with it! The energy color is another matter as well. So the Sentient standard seems to be this pale, light blue. But that's not really set in stone. The Tau Sentients that have suffered the core override have a red energy color, Fornax’ Fentients are green. Zoff's is pink. So there is plenty of creative freedom here. Additionally, the energy colors for Basmu and Shedu are also red, while Haalvu's is blue, so there really is no consistency here.

Scaldra Colors:

Gear used: Mag Heirloom Helmet, Mag Alata Skin, Syrinx Chest Plate, Saturn Six Shoulder Plates, Syrinx Leg Plates, Kyzen Signa, Globakk Syandana, EFV-5 Mars, Valkyr Noble Animation Set

I know, I know. I said I wouldn't be using any of the Mag/Frost Heirloom stuff for accessibility reasons, but for this one I just had to. That helmet was just too fitting a piece to pass up for the showcase. Besides, this entry is kinda special anyway because here, I have had to use two columns of colors in order to make it work. The left column is for the colors applied to the warframe, the right column is for the attachments. I did this because of the color distribution on the Scaldra units themselves. To get colors, I usually try to pull them from whatever piece of gear is associated with the theme I'm looking for. In this case, that would have been the Globakk Syandana. But it just doesn't fully capture what a Scaldra unit looks like and part of the mission of this guide is to craft a fitting aesthetic. So instead, I spawned three different Scaldra units in Captura and matched the colors from there. The thing is that the main suits of these soldiers are mostly grey and orange while their gloves, boots and other bits are more greenish beige with some grey in between. So I've decided to structure the fashionframe showcase in a similar way. The orange and grey are on the frame itself while the green-beige is found on the armor attachments to provide a more cohesive look. This is an optimized version of a prior Scaldra fashion I've done. I mostly had to change the grey and green-beige for some additional color accuracy.

Anarch Colors:

Gear used: Volt Prime Helmet, Volt Voidshell Skin (Flat Noctrulfor non-metallics, Tarnished Morphics for metallics), Edo Prime Chest Plate, Dax Lustratus Shoulder Plates, Imugi Prime Leg Plates, Lustratus Conquest Syandana, Tau Dax Thrown Weapon Skin, Tau Dax Nikana Skin, Zephyr Noble Animation Set

The fashion showcase for this is also a prior fashionframe I've done, but I've optimized the actual Lustratus colors here a little bit. I've pulled these colors from the shoulder armor that was part of the rewards for Operation: Blood of Perita, but during the matching process I've noticed that all Tau Dax weapon skins also use the exact same colors while the syandanas deviate a little bit. In order to make the theme work on the warframe skin I had to replace Hatred C1 with Smoke A18 to give it a more coherent appearance in line with the Anarch units. For what reason this rather bright, desaturated brown-red is even used in the first place I have no idea. But it's here because it's part of the line of cosmetics that display the aesthetic. Of course, there's always tweaks you have to do to make things work. So don't forget that these colors apply ONLY to the cosmetic items and have to be tweaked somewhat if you want to make them work on a warframe.

Murmur Colors:

Gear used: Wisp Prime Helmet, Wisp Celestis Skin, Vetala Prime Chest Plate, Daurus Prime Shoulder Plates, Vetala Prime Leg Plates, Seraphyre Ephemera, Invictus Apex Signa, Nulwarden Voidswept Syandana, Dante Agile Animation Set

I sourced all the colors from the Invictus Apex Signa that was originally introduced during Operation: Eight Claw. I did this by examining it very closely. My fingers passed through the half-real metal below the hands, filling me with a sensation of emptiness and premonition. I peered deep into the void orb until it filled my view. My peripheral vision was null, and I felt the reality around me dissolving into the aether. Just then, the silver hand emerged from the orb and pulled me across the divide. When I crossed the threshold, who I was, who I am and who I will be were erased in an instant as I saw consumed pasts and poisoned futures. All of time and space were shown to me as the murmuring chant of a being I couldn't comprehend drew closer. The vastness of caustic light and bubbling unspace stretched itself before me in all directions. The abyss was limitless - and so was its influence. Rap. Tap. Tap. I realized then that my existence was narrowed down to a single point in spacetime. For a moment I stood at the precipice of annihilation, my own continuity at risk of being reduced to raw experience without memory. That's when it appeared before me. My mirror image cast in flesh. It wore my face, yet a smile that was not my own. And it began to speak. And as it did, it told me of beautiful things. Of a way to preserve myself and all that I am - or thought I was. It told me of the futures I could have if only I shook its hand. All I had to do was be its friend. It told me that all it sought was my love, my devotion. That I could rewrite my history if I made the choice to love it. I reached out, fingertips touching, sliding over palms, interlocking hands and digits gripping tightly. Suddenly, I was compelled to embrace it, to draw it closer to myself, to allow it to shape not who I am, but who I want to be. I was protected in its gentle arms. And as my heart filled with its love, so, too, could I feel the strands of khra extend away from it in all directions. This love shaped my future. It rewrote my past. And now, here I am. Rap.Tap.Tap.

Lunaeus Colors:

Gear used: Mirage Nuwa Helmet, Mirage Nuwa Skin, Boltor Lunaeus Skin, Pyrana Lunaeus Skin, Mirage Noble Animation Set

For this one, we still don't have any attachments to go off of so I went ahead and pulled the colors from the Boltor Lunaeus Skin. Getting the colors themselves wasn't too hard (although the exact green of the Lunaeus skins doesn't exist in any palette we have access to, so I had to substitute it with a close match) and all the corresponding weapon skins are internally consistent with one another. Only the associated lunar new year warframe skins, most notably Dagath's, deviate from that formula. There's also a line of skins called “Clavatus” but they feature the exact same colors as Lunaeus. I have no idea why they have a different name. Please note also that the Mirage Nuwa skin shares most of the colors by default except for the bright red, which is a tasty tomato cream sauce orange in the default version.

Festive Colors:

Gear used: Frost Himavat Helmet, Frost Festive Skin, Diva Chest Plate, Frost Emperor Armor, Imperator Festive Syandana, Glaxion Festive Skin, Sonicor Festive Skin, Spearmint Scythe Skin, Loki Noble Animation Set

What you might immediately notice here is that the Festive colors share the red and the green with Lunaeus but the entire aesthetic gets turned on its head regardless. Worth noting here is that Frost's Festive skin doesn't come with its own helmet and Frost is the only warframe to have ever received a Festive skin in the first place. The associated weapon skins go nicely with the aesthetic although their colors are a little different. The red is slightly darker, the green is much darker, the emissives are green instead of yellow and the brown from the warframe skin is absent. The syandana also features metallics in the green parts which the warframe skin doesn't do. Addititionaly, I could only determine the energy color by observing the tiny vents of the Frost armor very, very closely. That was before I found out something else. These skins are very, very old, being introduced all the way back in 2014 for the main skin which is only available during Tennobaum.

Solstice Colors:

Gear used: Titania Helmet, Titania Solstice Skin, Arca Solstice Chest Armor, Avia Solstice Shoulder Plates, Nidina Solstice Leg Plates, Cantare Solstice Skin, Titania Noble Animation Set

I dunno about you but I would have liked more Festive skins to things than Solstice. Both are Christmas season themed, but one spawned countless cosmetics while the other has been kinda forgotten I guess. I'd honestly prefer more weapons with fun Christmas lights or gingerbread swords but here we are. The good thing about Solstice cosmetics is that it comes with lots of metallics and cool swirly designs. Anyway, I pulled all the colors for this one from the corresponding Titania skin (who is the only warframe to ever get a Solstice skin) that, like Frost, doesn't come with a helmet. Solstice is also one of the few aesthetics that are 90% internally consistent as far as color channels go, which is nice. Getting the colors right, however, was pretty darn tough, though through thorough thought I could sift through all the different blues to get the right one. The white in particular was very hard to find as it is not, like you might expect, a pure white, no no. It is, in fact, a snow-in-the-shadow-during-a-sunny-winter-day-white. Very specific, very pretty. It's one of the few colors I might keep using in other places because it's as beautiful as it is. As for the energy color, it was here that I noticed that the energy color for a given skin gets displayed behind the ability icons in the arsenal. So all I had to do was some trial and error to get it right. This is a helpful tip in case you find a skin with a cool energy color and don't quite know how to reproduce it. The funny thing is that, due to Titania's butt wings, none of the Solstice syandanas actually fit, making her a poor fit to have a Solstice skin in the first place but oh well.

Calaverita Colors:

Gear used: Excalibur Sentient Slayer Helmet, Excalibur Sentient Slayer Skin, Day of the Dead Saturn Six Chest Plate, Day of the Dead Vetala Shoulder Plates, Day of the Dead Vetala Leg Plates, Monarcierro Syandana, Day of the Dead Gammacor Skin, Excalibur Umbra Noble Animation Set

Previously, I called these the “Day of the Dead Colors” and I featured both the old aesthetic with black, white and orange energy as well as the newer aesthetic that you see here. I call them “Calaverita” this time because both the sentinel skin and the liset skin are called that, so this is the new naming convention. Since an energy color couldn't be determined from the material I had, especially since the weapon skins do not actually modify the energy color, leaving them as default, I simply put the emissive here twice. I also think it's important to mention here that the Cherub color palette, obtainable during Star Days, is well worth getting because I find myself coming back to it all the time. Try obtaining it next time Valentine's day comes around, I promise you won't regret it! I do wonder why the different cosmetics have different naming conventions even though they all follow the Calaverita aesthetic, but I wonder about names for things all the time. Out of all warframe skins, I think the Excalibur Sentient Slayer skin fits the aesthetic the best, but you're of course welcome to try out different ones. That's my reasoning for using it, however. For this installment, I also completely omitted the old Day of the Dead colors because it's just simple black and white with an orange energy color. So in case you wanted those, there you go.

Towsun Colors:

Gear used: Baruuk Graxx Helmet, Baruuk Graxx Skin, Maggor Towsun ArmorSet, Izvara Towsun Syandana, Twin Grakatas Towsun Skin, Baruuk Noble Animation Set

I think, out of all warframes, Baruuk Graxx wears this aesthetic exceptionally well. Previously I had him wear the Doan helmet and default skin and, while it was good, Graxx just knocks it out of the park. Getting these colors was also surprisingly easy for some reason. I looked at them and just kinda naturally gravitated towards them. I think the off-white got a slight tweak in the process though. All colors are consistent with all pieces here and the Graxx skin makes it look like this is just the way it's supposed to be. Also, Baruuk Noble is among my favorite animation sets for a good, default pose. Try it out!

Lodestar Colors:

Gear used: Nova Atomica Helmet, Nova Atomica Skin, Lodestar Armor Set, Lodestar Syandana, Azima, Sigma & Octantis, Ember Noble Animation Set

These colors belong to the compass-themed armor set and syandana that the login bonus weapons belong to, those being the Zenith rifle, Azima automatic pistol, Zenistar hammer and Sigma & Octantis sword and shield. Each of these weapons has a unique gimmick associated with it and I like them quite a bit. Anyway, the armor set itself is awarded to you once you hit your 1000th login, meaning you'll have to play the game for almost 3 years just to obtain it. That's also where I got the colors from, although the blue is just ever so slightly off but it's barely noticeable if at all. Back when I made the original guide, I didn't have this armor set so I thought I'd include it as the final entry. Please keep in mind that, due to the materials on the Atomica Skin, all colors shown will be somewhat off so you'll have to fiddle with slightly darker colors to get the intended look. I chose this skin deliberately, however, because I feel the armor looks best on it.

Closing words

Alright, there we go. These were 20 color schemes from around the game and, while it took quite a few days to make it happen, I had fun doing it. I felt that a revisited version of the original guide was in order after two years because a lot has changed, both in the game and with the way that I'm making things. I hope this guide has been helpful but, if nothing else, entertaining to read through.

On a different note: Are there any other themed guides you guys may be interested in? So far I've done armor sets (20 of them, anyway), Grineer and Corpus. If you think you have an idea for 20 more color schemes that should be figured out and shown to the world, please let me know in a comment! Be it deluxe skin colors, eximus unit colors (which differ quite a bit from non-eximus units), other faction-related stuff, you name it. If there are enough suggestions in a particular direction, I might create a guide for it, so who knows! But for now, I think I'll take a break and do some regular fashionframe until Operation: Taubound comes out. I will need to be playing that. So yeah. I hope you had fun and I'll see you guys around for the next installment!

Thank you for reading if you made it all the way to the end. I've poured a lot of love and effort into this. So if you made it down here, let me know by attaching a “Hey Kiddo” to your comment! Thanks!
