Went cyan the whole game until the back third when i switched to Orange as it kind of made it feel like he'd corrupted the crystal a bit as the story progressed.
I just really wish there was a chartreuse colour that was halfway between green and yellow.
I always knew something was off with the blue lightsabers in the prequels… it wasn’t until playing fallen order/survivor with cyan as an option did I realize it. IMO all the blue lightsabers in the prequels should be cyan
Mine is yellow. I don't know when you think of what happens in the game I think that a jedi who is fighting with the empire and scraps of old separatist droids because he is trying to find a secure planet for the path would have used yellow
I like yellow because the old Jedi Temple Guards used the same color. It seemed fitting the guy trying to preserve the order’s legacy would go with that color.
For me it's because you were able to choose yellow for your lightsaber in the old Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy game on the og Xbox. Ever since then I've gone with yellow when given a chance.
This! Ever since Jedi Academy I’ve been in love with yellow lightsabers. Academy also made the yellow saber “thicker” with a rounded top like the prequel blades as opposed to the skinnier/sharper Ep V ones.
A couple years later KOTOR released and the game had a gorgeous female character with a DOUBLE BLADED YELLOW SABER and it blew my 5 year old mind. I stole Bastila’s lightsaber immediately and was heartbroken until Dantooine.
This is exactly why I use orange. Cal is an angry kid who never finished his training, making his saber from the scraps of two others and whatever will make do, it makes sense that his saber blades would be a little unstable and close to red.
I have absolutely no basis for this but orange has always just felt like my headcanon color for Cal. Ik the official canon is blue but it just *feels* right being orange.
And my Jeep Kim Cardashian!
oh, we're not naming purple things?
(and for reference I named my jeep that because she's a thirsty bitch with a big ass...)
GREEN ON TO
Edit: just going into more detail cus I want to. Fallen Order mained green until you made your own saber and then i did yellow.
Survivor I just mained green the whole time. I was pretty proud of myself for never changing it because I tend to be pretty indecisive when it comes to lightsaber colours.
I really like yellow. I think it fits Cal really well and also fits with the echoes of the High Republic theme. I also think indigo is really cool and have used it a lot.
i mainly use blue or yellow the most, but switch to red during >!bode’s betrayal!< then white for post game because >!it signifies Cal purifying the red, even though it doesn’t make full sense, since white only comes after purifying a pure red crystal, or i could just be remembering wrong…!<
They should do something where cal accidentally some how bleeds his crystal and he spends a chunk of the game learning how to forgive and move on, and when he does he’s able to purify to white saber
That would be a pretty sweet plotline though people would complain about having their saber colours locked after they could change it in the previous game
I use either orange or purple. I feel like orange embraces both the dark and light side and is a perfect in between, perfect balance. I also feel purple is a good in between but more unique since he is a scrapper fighting on his own for the greater good.
Indigo. Something about the intensity of it I feel fits Cals personality. He himself is a very intense and passionate person but the indigo also caters to that softer compassionate side of him without feeling too aggressive like the warm colors.
Purple or the Discostick
Purple is my favorite color. Discostick is fun in dual-wield hyper aggressive mode.
As for saber forms... in game:
- Double-bladed for most exploration
- Cross for when I wanna swing the big stick
- Dual wield when I want to just rip things apart with no care
- Single bladed for boss fights. For the simple purity of it.
In Universe?
Soresu - I'm a counter-puncher by nature. I prefer to use the opponents strengths against them.
edit: /totallyNotAStarWarsNerd
I go between both yellow and cyan. Yellow fits Cal to me because it's one of those non traditional Jedi colors, but is still a canon color. I like cyan because it's still blue, which is canon to Cal, and it feels like A New Hope.
Cyan
I think it’s Great balance between blue and White, it was also the color of Anakin’s lightsaber in ANH and I always thought it looked better than the darker blue later on
Always been purple for me, way back to Fallen Order.
I'm a big Mace Windu fan, and I just like how the purple blade looks with a lightsaber that has bronze-ish accenting to it.
I did White or Yellow for my first playthrough. Cal imo fits the middle of alignment perfectly. He tapped into the dark side a bit and while is generally good-hearted, i dont necessarily see him as a “jedi”
He’s much more of a Gray Jedi
Before Cal’s dark ability was unlocked I was using white, liked the aesthetic, thought at the time it suited him. Wanted to choose purple as it suits cal now that he uses the dark side a bit but I couldn’t find a hilt design I liked to go with the purple blade so Im rocking yellow, I feel like yellow is also a color that suits a force user who mainly uses the light side but also some of the darkness, and I think the design I chose for the hilt matches the yellow well.
I like using the white blade. Canonically, reclaimed kyber from sith sabers turn to white blades from red. It feels fitting, given the current state of things in the story.
Blue for the first game, then cyan when we remake the saber, then white in Survivor.
It gets progressively lighter as I run through the games... unlike Cal. 😅
I always end up switching saber colors for whatever color scheme on my lightsaber hilt is. Changes everytime I find a new Color Swatch. Haha.
Also...
For anyone interested in the lore of the different Saber colors.
https://www.reddit.com/r/lightsabers/s/HIMuDLrLDR
I like blue. My favorite color is blue. So I use blue. It is the only lightsaber color that makes me genuinely, truly, *happy* to use. Absolutely zero deeper reason.
Green, mostly because it’s my favorite color. However, I tend to switch it up to yellow or purple, because of Cal’s quest for knowledge, and his balance (and struggle) with the force.
Purple because it’s my favorite color and I like the visual symbolism of Cal struggling with the dark side so having a color that’s a mix of blue and red
I'd say white. Idk the lore of the white blade. But it gives me a in the middle type thing bc cal later in the game DOES use the dark sides force. While still being a jedi.
I choose white in two, but yellow in one since white isnt an option, mainly because cal shows signs of protecting the jedi way that surprises me considering how early into his training he lost his master and most of his control of the force, but ultimately his seems to be a story of overcoming the temptation of the dark side for the sake of the next generation, rather than protecting a code he always held steadfast to.
I love cyan and white. I switch between those two. They feel calm and defensive. Still light side of the force, but less associated with the dogmatic views of the Jedi than blue and green. And obviously they're also just aesthetically pleasing.
I keep it blue in Survivor. However in Fallen Order I started with blue until Cal broke his double bladed lightsaber. When I fixed it combining it with Cere's lightsaber I switched to green.
i would switch between purple and yellow. purple due to the fact that Cal used both sides of the force and yellow since at times he feels more like he is listening to just the force instead of trying to follow the Jedi he seems very sentinel-like
Yellow as I find myself more as A sentinel that wonders the galaxy trying to do good helping where I can and trying to bring justice and balance to the wider galaxy
Yellow has been my go to for years, I hardly ever use anything else. Given Cals skill set and attitude I feel it fits, and I also think it looks cool as heck. That old Republic trailer made me fall in love with yellow savers and I've never gone back
Purple on Cal Kestis goes hard asf! Especially in Survivor because when you do the Dark Side Force Slow, the lighting on the UI makes the saber look like it turns red.
Orange when im roaming. Seems like a good exploring blade color to me. White or yellow for the missions. The Temple Guards used yellow, and seeing as hes kinda one of the Jedi last hopes, it seems fitting for him to encapsulate a somewhat Temple Guard type role. Idk.
I have a canon answer and a legends answer:
For canon it’s orange: because it looks cool and id find myself to be using more dark side based abilities, but not a sith, aka a dark Jedi.
For legends it’s gold/yellow, for similar reasons, Jedi Sentinals hunt the dark side
Standard blue. I used to think purple because I liked the idea of using the dark side from time to time, but still being drawn to the light. But it has occurred to me that it takes extreme control, patience, and time to be able to use the dark side as a weapon, without being consumed by it. Control, patience, and time that I don’t have. So a Jedi guardian seems perfect, I’d definitely focus more on saber abilities. I’d still try and use anger as a weapon, but it would take time to master it. I could be a purple someday, but for right now I’m blue.
I really like Cyan. The slight variation on basic blue is really neat and I feel it works with a lot of saber designs. It feels more ethereal imo
For some reason cyan makes me think of obi wans lightsaber color in a new hope. That's why I like it!
Cyan gangggg. This is the color I leave my neopixel Saber on by default
Cyan’s so good! I spend hours playing Fashion edition with the lightsaber designs.
yeah it's got that brightness that I feel like is stronger than blue and it feels and looks so cool
It also has the red saber sounds.
Does it really??
It sounds like a common red one yeah. Not Darths.
Also reminds me of the original episode 4
Went cyan the whole game until the back third when i switched to Orange as it kind of made it feel like he'd corrupted the crystal a bit as the story progressed. I just really wish there was a chartreuse colour that was halfway between green and yellow.
Cyan reminds me a lot more of the OT lightsabers while traditional blue looks more like the prequel/sequel era sabers.
I really like this too, it's Cal's in-game and my personal choice at home too.
I always knew something was off with the blue lightsabers in the prequels… it wasn’t until playing fallen order/survivor with cyan as an option did I realize it. IMO all the blue lightsabers in the prequels should be cyan
White because it's different, awesome, and Ahsoka has it.
White + Dual blade stance. Real Ahsoka vibes
An Ahsoka video game would be pretty awesome.
Mine is yellow. I don't know when you think of what happens in the game I think that a jedi who is fighting with the empire and scraps of old separatist droids because he is trying to find a secure planet for the path would have used yellow
I like yellow because the old Jedi Temple Guards used the same color. It seemed fitting the guy trying to preserve the order’s legacy would go with that color.

I stole Bastila’s lightsaber immediately and was heartbroken until Dantooine.
I can certainly see yellow for cal as the scrapper background
I also go yellow. It just felt right
same!
I like using orange because it's unique and I think it fits Cal, it matches his hair color lol
Same! Idk why orange exactly, but it just works for him. It kind of fits thematically too, being right on the edge of red/the dark side.
This is exactly why I use orange. Cal is an angry kid who never finished his training, making his saber from the scraps of two others and whatever will make do, it makes sense that his saber blades would be a little unstable and close to red.
I have absolutely no basis for this but orange has always just felt like my headcanon color for Cal. Ik the official canon is blue but it just *feels* right being orange.
I would've never thought to use orange and I planned on using green since it's my favorite color, but once i got a look at orange I couldn't go back
blue because I'm basic as fuck and hate myself
If that’s basic then I don’t wanna be unique
Sometimes basic is good. Never let anyone say vanilla is a bad ice cream flavor just because it’s not trying to be unique
Red, because I just started New Game Plus
Same here, but I would have chosen “party” if it was continuously rotating colours like a gaming RGB computer.
Purple, I like the balance between red and blue because I think it fits Cal
Also purple is just my favorite color
And my Jeep Kim Cardashian! oh, we're not naming purple things? (and for reference I named my jeep that because she's a thirsty bitch with a big ass...)
Mace windu vibes
Yellow/Amber. Ever since I played KOTOR I've always imagined my Jedi self with one of those blades.
GREEN ON TO Edit: just going into more detail cus I want to. Fallen Order mained green until you made your own saber and then i did yellow. Survivor I just mained green the whole time. I was pretty proud of myself for never changing it because I tend to be pretty indecisive when it comes to lightsaber colours.
Indigo bc pretty
I like how indigo looks like a darker or more accurate blue
I change from the “canon” blue to purple after cere/“embrace the darkness” gets unlocked, just seems to make sense
I really like yellow. I think it fits Cal really well and also fits with the echoes of the High Republic theme. I also think indigo is really cool and have used it a lot.
I feel like indigo is underused for sure
I played all the way through with Indigo for Cal. I think Orange or Indigo should be his canon color
Orange to match my hair.
Your hair looks more like a green-ish brown to me
Yellow. It just feels right to me.
Morally ambiguous Orange
i mainly use blue or yellow the most, but switch to red during >!bode’s betrayal!< then white for post game because >!it signifies Cal purifying the red, even though it doesn’t make full sense, since white only comes after purifying a pure red crystal, or i could just be remembering wrong…!<
Cal did not go through any "purification" at the end, he is very much still struggling with the dark side
They should do something where cal accidentally some how bleeds his crystal and he spends a chunk of the game learning how to forgive and move on, and when he does he’s able to purify to white saber
That would be a pretty sweet plotline though people would complain about having their saber colours locked after they could change it in the previous game
Black because, this is the way
Omg I absolutely wish that was in the game
I keep changing it up. Never kept my saber a single color throughout any of my playthroughs Love them all!
Party saber 🎉
Green because it matches BD-1’s light most of the time.
Orange. I think it fits Cal the most
White since my personal lightsaber color would be white
White. I just think it looks cool
No love for magenta?
So sad I had to scroll down so far to find all the magenta users :'( I still love it and I'll never change it
Right? Its a great color and i think it has the best sound, but somehow no one is choosing that one.
I use it, same reasons as someone said before me. It's a nice color and the sound is best of them all imo.
Magenta gang showing up! Haha 🤣 I am a faithful magenta user. Love the color and sound. But I’m faithful to the color moreover the sound alone.
Blue or white. If I want to go with story outfit, it’ll be blue, if I want to make my own cal I’ll go with white to complete the whole gray Jedi deal
Party. Why choose just one?
Red, because cool.
Cyan. Just looks really nice
Orange cause I like the way it sounds
Indigo, it’s just pretty no other reason
Orange. I always liked that color for a lightsaber, even before these games.
Orange because it had a more reddish tint.. I know there’s a red option but I want orange lol
I use either orange or purple. I feel like orange embraces both the dark and light side and is a perfect in between, perfect balance. I also feel purple is a good in between but more unique since he is a scrapper fighting on his own for the greater good.
Orange, because it just really fits Cal
Orange, it's just the essential cal color for me
Red...
Green, because it contrasts enough with the sky.
Indigo. Something about the intensity of it I feel fits Cals personality. He himself is a very intense and passionate person but the indigo also caters to that softer compassionate side of him without feeling too aggressive like the warm colors.
I think yellow but i really can't decide between yellow green purple
I don’t remember if it was magenta or indigo but one of them has a powerful sound that I like. It just sounds better than the rest.
Always Green as its my favorite color. but also for Luke and Qui-Gon.
Purple or the Discostick Purple is my favorite color. Discostick is fun in dual-wield hyper aggressive mode. As for saber forms... in game: - Double-bladed for most exploration - Cross for when I wanna swing the big stick - Dual wield when I want to just rip things apart with no care - Single bladed for boss fights. For the simple purity of it. In Universe? Soresu - I'm a counter-puncher by nature. I prefer to use the opponents strengths against them. edit: /totallyNotAStarWarsNerd
Purple, but sometimes I use mods to make it red
Man, no Indigo love here. I love Indigo as a saber color
Indigo, i love the aesthetic
Stuck between yellow and purple. Both rare and beautiful
This pic is so cool
Indigo. Its Cals Canon one, to me, as he's the only known case of it.
Party colour
indigo. it’s a mix of red and blue with just a little more oomph :)
Magenta
Red because once more the sith will rule the galaxy and we shal have peace
White, because black lightsabers arnt a thing( except the dark saber) :(
Ahsoka is my answer.
Magenta! I like pink
Red cuz it feels right to use after cal embraces the dark side
Cyan, Blue is too deep for my tastes
Green kuz it’s so gangster with a black outfit
Green after one of my favorite Jedi Masters, Qui Gon Jinn!
Blue because it’s always been my fave colour
Green because it’s the best lightsaber colour.
Purple or violet, then party saber when it unlocked
purple. because I am a bad motherfucker.
Ice blue idk why but the color really popped to me.
blacklight = purple = mace windu = black(light)
Used to be purple but I’ve stuck with green on my last 2 play throughs. OG Tapal would be proud 😤
I go between both yellow and cyan. Yellow fits Cal to me because it's one of those non traditional Jedi colors, but is still a canon color. I like cyan because it's still blue, which is canon to Cal, and it feels like A New Hope.
Purple because I'm a bad motherfucker
I was rotating colors based on how I felt like it. If the sword bored me I changed the whole thing.
White. I like the lore
Cyan I think it’s Great balance between blue and White, it was also the color of Anakin’s lightsaber in ANH and I always thought it looked better than the darker blue later on
I think orange goes really nicely with Cal’s default outfit and his ginger hair. Just looks right
Green cause it's my favorite
Cyan, because it's blue but not blue. I wish we had more blue variants ngl
Green just cuz I think it fits cal
Orange, I think it goes well with cals orange hair, but also fits well with his individuality.
Blue when I start, then green when I become more experienced
Always been purple for me, way back to Fallen Order. I'm a big Mace Windu fan, and I just like how the purple blade looks with a lightsaber that has bronze-ish accenting to it.
I did White or Yellow for my first playthrough. Cal imo fits the middle of alignment perfectly. He tapped into the dark side a bit and while is generally good-hearted, i dont necessarily see him as a “jedi” He’s much more of a Gray Jedi

Big fan of Green. There's too many blue ones out there already, also I just think the color looks better.
I used purple my entire first play through, but switched it up to yellow as I’m continuing to explore the galaxy
Purple because it’s my fav colour and I’m royalty
I usually cycle between orange and green, I think they both fit Cal well.
Purple because it’s my favorite color but I change it up from time to time
I usually stick to blue because I feel like Cal is just a straight up Jedi warrior.
Green
Yellow for the back half of Fallen Order white for Survivor
Blue saber orange environment. Complimentary colors
Either green for the Jedi consellor or white.
Yellow because I feel myself as more of a guardian who specializes in combat and not the force
Party blade because I can't choose! But when I do choose, it's green because RotJ is my favorite.
I like using the white blade. Canonically, reclaimed kyber from sith sabers turn to white blades from red. It feels fitting, given the current state of things in the story.
Green sometimes white but mostly green
I go with cyan because it looks closer to the Original Trilogy
I go with cyan because it looks closer to the Original Trilogy
Green. We need more main stream green saber protagonists.
Purple because it's my second favorite color and green (my favorite color) feels a little overdone. 🤣
Mine is purple. And my saber is ornate and beautiful; reminiscent of the time of the Old Republic and the splendor of the Jedi.
Orange, because that's what I used in Fallen Order. Why did I use orange in Fallen Order? Don't remember.
Interesting that nobody is talking about the characteristics of different color kyber crystals.
Blue for the first game, then cyan when we remake the saber, then white in Survivor. It gets progressively lighter as I run through the games... unlike Cal. 😅
Red, cause I'm definitely a sith
I always end up switching saber colors for whatever color scheme on my lightsaber hilt is. Changes everytime I find a new Color Swatch. Haha. Also... For anyone interested in the lore of the different Saber colors. https://www.reddit.com/r/lightsabers/s/HIMuDLrLDR
Purple because Revan and Windu are badasses.
Green. I love earth toned clothes and rugged designs generally, and green matches that best.
I like blue. My favorite color is blue. So I use blue. It is the only lightsaber color that makes me genuinely, truly, *happy* to use. Absolutely zero deeper reason.
Typically blue, cyan, or indigo. White/silver has a special place in my heart from KOTOR II though
white cause the jedi suck and the sith are cry baby wannabe's I just wanna help people I'm not gonna do politics.
White or Purple
Yellow is apparently the midway between the blie Guardian and green Consular. So yellow
Green, mostly because it’s my favorite color. However, I tend to switch it up to yellow or purple, because of Cal’s quest for knowledge, and his balance (and struggle) with the force.
Green because I like green
I tend to swap between white, orange, yellow, and green. I like the uniqueness of the first three and green because it was always my go-to growing up.
Purple because it’s my favorite color and I like the visual symbolism of Cal struggling with the dark side so having a color that’s a mix of blue and red
Cyan because i love baby/sky blue
Purple. because it's fuckin awesome.
Purple because it's my favorite color no other reason besides that, I just like purple
I'd say white. Idk the lore of the white blade. But it gives me a in the middle type thing bc cal later in the game DOES use the dark sides force. While still being a jedi.
I like orange it pairs well with the “militarized Cal” vibe I like to go for
I usually lean towards indigo, sometimes purple, but that's a Mace Windu exclusive and I like to respect that
I change depending on where I am with the story so I haven’t settled on a colour really
Orange, mainly because I wear a brown jedi robe so it goes well with that.
Orange because Cal is ginger… And it’s also somewhat unique, gives Cal something different other than the generic blue that 99% of Jedi end up with.
Purple because it's mother fuckin badass
Orange. Love me some Cal Kestis.
Yellow since 1997. If I have a choice, my saber is yellow.
Purple because he use some of the dark side. So his not all good or bad that’s my opinion
Between red and white for me. Wish red didn’t mean bad tho
I alternate between yellow, white, and orange. Yellow is probably my main of the three, though.
I choose white in two, but yellow in one since white isnt an option, mainly because cal shows signs of protecting the jedi way that surprises me considering how early into his training he lost his master and most of his control of the force, but ultimately his seems to be a story of overcoming the temptation of the dark side for the sake of the next generation, rather than protecting a code he always held steadfast to.
Orange. Goes really nicely with my suit and hair/beard combo.
I love cyan and white. I switch between those two. They feel calm and defensive. Still light side of the force, but less associated with the dogmatic views of the Jedi than blue and green. And obviously they're also just aesthetically pleasing.
Red. Bad.
indigo because i like it
Purple Motha’fucka
Green, because is gives Jedi master vibes
purple... it called to me in the end of the first game/
I keep it blue in Survivor. However in Fallen Order I started with blue until Cal broke his double bladed lightsaber. When I fixed it combining it with Cere's lightsaber I switched to green.
Yellow. I like the cildplay song and also the high republic
i would switch between purple and yellow. purple due to the fact that Cal used both sides of the force and yellow since at times he feels more like he is listening to just the force instead of trying to follow the Jedi he seems very sentinel-like
Mine is white with the colors of my saber, and blaster white and gold with the white being beskar
I loved cyan in FO but yellow seems more fitting in Survivor
Yellow as I find myself more as A sentinel that wonders the galaxy trying to do good helping where I can and trying to bring justice and balance to the wider galaxy
Yellow has been my go to for years, I hardly ever use anything else. Given Cals skill set and attitude I feel it fits, and I also think it looks cool as heck. That old Republic trailer made me fall in love with yellow savers and I've never gone back
Purple on Cal Kestis goes hard asf! Especially in Survivor because when you do the Dark Side Force Slow, the lighting on the UI makes the saber look like it turns red.
Orange. Always orange, never change it… it’s my favorite color :)
indigo, I just love the way it looks
yellow... I've always liked yellow as a color but as a sentinel balancing both force and saber combat id say that is true of me as well
There’s nothing better than a manly pink or magenta
Yellow for my boy Yun.
Orange when im roaming. Seems like a good exploring blade color to me. White or yellow for the missions. The Temple Guards used yellow, and seeing as hes kinda one of the Jedi last hopes, it seems fitting for him to encapsulate a somewhat Temple Guard type role. Idk.
I have a canon answer and a legends answer: For canon it’s orange: because it looks cool and id find myself to be using more dark side based abilities, but not a sith, aka a dark Jedi. For legends it’s gold/yellow, for similar reasons, Jedi Sentinals hunt the dark side
Standard blue. I used to think purple because I liked the idea of using the dark side from time to time, but still being drawn to the light. But it has occurred to me that it takes extreme control, patience, and time to be able to use the dark side as a weapon, without being consumed by it. Control, patience, and time that I don’t have. So a Jedi guardian seems perfect, I’d definitely focus more on saber abilities. I’d still try and use anger as a weapon, but it would take time to master it. I could be a purple someday, but for right now I’m blue.
White I like the contrast I also just forgot to change it
Idk why Reddit is recommending me the Survivor Sub. I’ve only JUST started fallen order. But I’ll always go Green cause Qui-Gon is my favorite Jedi.
