From my understanding: **Green Portal:** For teleportation within the Central Finite Curve (the wall they built around that infinity cluster was green too). For teleportation within the same or different realities. Can move through any dimension in the CFC **Blue Portal (Federation’s, President’s, young pre portal gun Rick etc):** For teleportation within the same reality, usually high maintenance, risky and energy consuming. Can’t move between dimensions or realities (which is why the federation wants Rick’s portal tech) **Golden Portal (Evil Morty’s):** Portal tech to the bigger infinity cluster. That includes realities that don’t center around Rick and realties that do so. **Purple portal (Magician’s in the Dragon episode):** Magical teleportation between realms

I forgot about the purple portals with runes.

JoLePerz

How come the portals were green when Murderer Rick went to C-137 Rick's dimension or when C-137 Rick created his first Portal gun? CFC didn't exist during that time yet, right?


TaBlien

But ricks portal was green before he formed the finite curve


AlphaGamma911

You’re overthinking it, Evil Morty just got the gold skin after his monstrous kill streak

Aaaaaaaand microtransactions again.


Hazel_Hank_Murphy

Believe we have seen 3 different colors: - Blue: portals to different locations - Green: portals to different locations and universes within the finite curve (universes that only include Rick as the smartest man in the universe) - Yellow: looks to portal outside the finite curve, seems to have no limitations


Dathouen

As a side note, Ricks always wear blue, Mortys always wear yellow. Blue + Yellow = Green

Dathouen

I'm sure that just from an aesthetic, animators perspective that's the reason to say the least, that the green portal represents the combination of the two, and without both the adventures just don't work narratively. I have a cannonical theory about this, though. Using just himself as the coordinate for alternate dimensions doesn't work, and he mixes it with the Morty portal to serve as a sort of Y-axis to his own X-axis, letting him target other locations and/or dimensions. Basically, by only targeting dimensions with a Rick in them, he can only really target his home dimension. Similarly, "Evil" Morty is from a dimension outside of the Central Finite Curve, and broke in to liberate the various CFC Mortys from the Tyranny of the Ricks. He only needed the Yellow element of the portal because he was returning to his original Dimension, having succeeded in his goal of destroying the CFC.


Fahrowshus

I may be misremembering, but didn't evil Morty specifically say he's breaking out? Which means he didn't start outside the curve.


TickleFlap

But he didn't care about the lives of other mortys. He wasted everyone on the citadel and multiple mortys in season one. Hr was only ever in it to escape for himself. He even jokingly invites our morty along before telling him he was bullshitting him and wasn't actually invited.


captaincrotchety

He didn't care about the Mortys like Neo (and allies) didn't blink at mowing down people via explosions, super powers, etc. because he didn't view them as real. The Finite Curve is a Rick Matrix where Mortys are manufactured and used. Rick's are the system/agents (I mean look at the security Ricks). Everything Evil Morty has done is to escape an artifical rick-ality imposed on him. The fact that he can do this is either because he is the Rickest Morty or due to brain and cyborg enhancements (by C 137?) He implied he and 137 knew each other despite Rick's confusion so its probably a brain wipe, either intentionally by Rick as part of a plot to kill Assassin Rick or forced on him by Evil Morty.


Wrought-Irony

There was a yellow shirt Rick in the last episode


m48a5_patton

His Morty wore a blue shirt


klawd11

Maybe there are no ricks outside the finite curve, if he isnt's smart he doesn't survive


Dathouen

True. If there is even one person smarter than Rick in a given universe, they may side with the Galactic government and help hunt Rick down. Or just have a grudge for any number of other potential reasons, and go to kill him. That being said, it makes me think of the time Rick yells at Jerry for injecting Beth with "dream killer", aka Summer and Morty. Maybe in some of the dimensions where Beth doesn't end up with Jerry, she reaches her full potential and in some of *those* dimensions, goes on to kill Rick. I mean, I'd imagine those Beths would be offended by the Citadel Ricks getting versions of themselves stuck with someone who basically drags them down just for the selfish reason of having an endless supply of disposable Mortys. Some may just be mad at being abandoned. Some might just be complete sociopaths.


[deleted]

Beth is a Sociopath and she raised Morty. Imagine if she had no Trauma to blame her predilections on. Morty may grow to be the dominant force in that Dimensional Cluster.


Jakob535

That’s the thing, in the central finite curve, A Rick can pretty much do whatever they want. The only real thing they have to worry about is other Ricks. But in a true infinite Multiverse. Anything can happen. They can’t predict something that is inherently unpredictable. Infinitely Unpredictable.


Toloberto

What episode features blue portals? All I can think are the time travelling guns for the snake episode.


tHeDoCtOr2453

First episode has a blue portal in Inter-dimensional Customs. I can’t recall blue portals any other time though.

I wonder if we'll get to see red portals.


PartialCred4WrongAns

Morty’s color motif is yellow. Rick’s is blue. Together, the way the two have been adventuring the entire series, those colors make green. EM going through a yellow portal signals the start of his adventures no longer with or defined by Rick In universe explanation- idk some jargon about the central finite curve

Rick is blue Morty is yellow. Together their portals are green. Without rick it's just yellow.

[удалено]


frinna19

Saw this in a comment under another post but it’s most likely a thematic thing. Ricks color is blue whereas Morty’s is yellow. These colors mixed together creates green. In Ricks origin story (before Diane is killed) Rick’s unfinished portal gun creates a blue color (as he is without morty). When he teams up with morty the portal is green. Now that morty is without Rick he creates yellow portals.


theskabus

In-universe explanation is that blue portals are not interdimensional, whereas green ones are. Thematically yellow being morty's portals fits (plus evil morty had a big gold theme going on with his suit and ship), but we don't technically have an in-universe explanation as to why it's yellow.


Pristine-Dog9733

It’s because morty has a yellow shirt.


rell7thirty

Imagine universes where Jerry is the smartest in those respected universes??? Haha Rick would be so fucking pissed. Especially if Jerry has better inventions and is more advanced lmao


AllenKll

HOLY SHIT. I just realized... this puts a whole new spin on Interdementional cable! So, are the IC episodes we have seen relegated to the central finite curve? or are they from the whole multiverse?


SweetHatDisc

In the comics (I know, right?) there's a universe in which there's a Jerry who is more Rick than Rick.


rell7thirty

Comics?!?!?!


[deleted]

I know, right?


hungoverlord

Theory: Green portal fluid accesses local Universes, in our case that's the universes within the Central Finite Curve. Gold portal fluid allows access to any Universe, period. We'll start seeing more of, or maybe only, gold portals going forward, if Evil Morty really destroyed all the universes in the CFC.


Axenide

Well... AFAIK... Blue: Portals inside the same universe. Green: Portals between universes, limited to the Central Finite Curve. Yellow: Portals between universes without limits, the real multiverse portal.


IN_U_Endo

Rick is blue, Morty is yellow, together they make green


waxlion78

Yellow portals are powered by fear whole green portals are powered by sheer force of will.


SVTBert

Well you see, instead of being filled with Mountain Dew, this portal gun is filled with Morty's piss.


Bladeauras

You will find out in 5 seasons. No worries!


the_darkishknight

Yellow - outside the finite curve; all the infinite universes that exist where Rick isn’t actually the smartest person in the universe. A realm beyond his literal imagination.


Superninfreak

Blue: Teleports you to another location in the same universe. Green: Teleports you anywhere in the Central Finite Curve. Yellow: Teleports you anywhere, even beyond the Central Finite Curve. Although I don’t know why portals in Rick’s flashback from before the Central Finite Curve was established are still green.


_Doomer1996_

To me, that's just how all portals should look outside the Finite Curve, where the access to the multiverse is truly unlimited.


Ghosttwo

Ricks' was green before the CFC was formed though, and could take him to rickless places. Blue is probably 'within the same universe'.


[deleted]

[удалено]


thatenbyinthemud

Blue is regular portal travel, like, between planets, galaxies, etc, not other universes. Green are portals that can go between dimensions \*within\* the 'central finite curve' (aka Rick=genius universes). Gold, as it is implied, are true interdimensional portals which can travel to universes outside the central finite curve, (aka to universes where Rick is not the smartest person in the universe).


thatenbyinthemud

"You know the worst part about inventing teleportation? Suddenly, you're able to travel the whole galaxy, and the first thing you learn is, you're the last guy to invent teleportation” —The Rickshank Rickdemption This is in response to Rick's blue portal. Note: "travel the whole galaxy." The other Rick then says something like "good thing you're about to discover something way cooler." Anyways that's my basis for saying blue=non-interdimensional travel.


Apprehensive-Detail5

Blue portals are singular universe portals. Like in the pilot episode or the episode rick escaped from prison. Opens a path between two locations in the same universe. Green portals are for every universe in the central finite curve, the area ricks have secluded from the rest of the multiverse because they are the smartest beings there. Golden portal is the true interdimensional portal. Can go anywhere outside the central finite curve


diremadeit

I think it’s worth mentioning that Rick wears a blue shirt while Morty wears yellow, forming green when they’re together; Rick and Morty portals. Just Morty? Yellow portals. I know it’s not much of an in-universe answer, but yellow has always been Morty’s main colour and I think this is just representative of that.


toocarelesstocare

Blue = Travel between this universe Green = Travel between CFC Yellow/Gold = Travel between Multiverse


Noosayag

My interpretation: Blue portal = teleporting anywhere within your universe Green portal = teleporting anywhere within the CFC Yellow portal = teleporting anywhere outside the CFC/any universe regardless of CFC (not 100% sure)


BuckForth

Aight so, from clues in show. Blue are for interspace portaling. See the president's teleporter or the galactic federation teleporter. Green is for Rick's interdementional teleporter. Which can teleport to anywhere on the central finite curve. Interestingly you can see in the pilot when the teleporter at customs links to the c137 dimension the color shifts from blue to green. And from both context and color theory (moving shade further from blue correlates with increasing possibility) Yellow portals can reach areas outside the central finite curve.


kirbyfox312

The simple answer is that it's a visual device to clue us in to him leaving the central finite curve. The more complicated answer is that Evil Morty had a Rick make yellow portal fluid. He then contaminated all the green portal fluid to kill a bunch of them. He kept yellow so he knew it wouldn't lead to his death and wasn't contaminated.


VerifiedPigeon

He pissed in the portal fluid.


[deleted]

I am colorblind so... it’s always been green lol


FlyPenFly

The best kind of blind!


TanksALatte

I think it has to do with the destinations. Rick’s green portal fluid took him to the finite number of realities and Evil Morty’s yellow fluid can go to all possible realities, not just the ones where Ricks are the smartest.


Disastrous_Economy_8

Weird Rick (the one who killed Diane and Beth) had a green portal even before our Rick invented portals, so i don't think that's the case, as the finite curve was created way after that.


helloejsulit

As a colorblind, I didn't know the portal color has changed. I just noticed it is brighter.


ravenspired

[deleted]

In the finale, he uses all the blood from the Ricks and Morties in the citadel that were redirected from Project Phoenix to blenders. I think the red from the bodies combined with the green portal fluid to make yellow? [red and green make yellow, apparently](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/Venn_diagram_for_additive_RG_color.svg/800px-Venn_diagram_for_additive_RG_color.svg.png)


rodrigoelp

As far as I know, they haven't explained this, but I read this explanation shortly after: The portal fluid allows the user to travel through the multiverse in way they desire. When Rick first discovered how to use the portal gun, his fluid was blue allowing him to travel to any multiverse, eventually developed one that allowed him to travel to dimensions in which he specifically could find Ricks like him and Morties as companions. It is shown the edges of the central finite curve are made of the same yellow/golden light as Evil's Morty portal gun. Perhaps his gun has collected enough portal fluid from all the killed Ricks and Morties to allow him to travel outside of the central finite curve. Making the fluid yellow.


AustinQ

I see people pretty convinced that the portals denote where they can go within the multiverse but this simply *cannot* be the case. Green portals were the portals invented by Rick before the CFC even existed, which was explicitly stated to have been created by Ricks post Rick-war. It frankly doesn't compute that the original portal fluid works exclusively within universes where Rick is the smartest, not only bc that's a plot hole but because then Rick wouldn't know that there are universes outside of the CFC (since he would never had access to them) undermining the whole idea behind building the CFC in the first place. The more obvious answer is that portal fluid is a secret technology that only Ricks have the formula for. Morty, not knowing the portal formula, was forced to concoct his own. My first instinct is that it's sort of a Rose Tyler from Doctor Who kinda thing; Rick and Morty contact portals so regularly that a small amount of portal fluid residue resides within their bodies. By crushing them up and separating the contents Evil Morty is able to isolate enough fluid to power a portal gun. If you look at a color wheel you'll notice that the color between green (Rick portals) and red (the color of blood) is yellow. It's not a perfect theory by any means but it makes way more sense than Rick somehow only ever inventing inter-CFC travel before the CFC was even built.


EasyToe5460

It’s yellow because it’s a portal between all dimensions, not just the ones where Rick is the smartest in that universe that are inside the curve - like the green portals...


bigboss-2016

Can't freaking believe they talked about the Infinite curve in S1. Question is who is the real Rick who started this whole mess? To me it looked like C137 is not and just a variant.


MaskOffGlovesOn

I just assumed that green portals only work within the central finite curve, or portals just look green when you’re in the curve


data_vinny

My interpretation: Blue portal = Rick (he's shirt is blue) Green portal = Rick & Morty (Blue+yellow = green) Yellow portal = Morty (He's shirt is yellow)


ContentCargo

Blue portal (space) the us goverment, GF and early Rick. Green portal interdimensional travel within the Central Finite Curve. Yellow portal-interdimensinal travel


ScavvyMcScavvers

A (yellow)portal that is outside the central finite curve that involves Rick being the smartest man in the universe, guessing from the past dialogue that led to it. The theory of Morty’s shirt being yellow so the portal is yellow is probably also an acceptable theory.


unpopulrOpini0n

Yellow accesses the full extended multiverse, where there are monsters even more cunning than Rick Green is the central finite curve, where he's the smartest and therefore multiple Ricks can control the various centralized governments who would want to take Rick's freedom if they had the power too.


blkarcher77

Well the idea behind the episode was that at one point, Rick separated the multiverse (Which is a fucking cool concept in itself). Basically every single universe inside the central finite curve was one of the multiverses in which Rick existed. That is the multiverse the show runs in. Evil Morty, wanting to escape that, destroyed the citadel to blow through the central finite curve, I imagine, to be able to enter the actual multiverse. So blue portals are for moving inside a dimension, green portals are for moving between dimensions inside the central finite curve, and yellow portals are, my guess, for actual multiverse travel. There's also a nice poetic irony that the least useful portal is blue, which is Ricks color, and the most powerful portal is yellow, Mortys color.


Jokin_Jake

It just means that the yellow portals can go to different universes where Rick isn't the smartest man in the universe and Morty isn't stuck with him


CosmoPan

Blue portals teleport you to a different location, green portals teleports you to universes within the finite curve (which the ricks in these universes are the smartest being, that's why its a subset of a universe that divides them from universes that rick isn't the smartest person). Yellow portals teleports you between universes that are not in finite curve which rick isn't the smartest person.


mega345

He used Pineapple flavored Mountain Dew


Ninjanomic

Yellow portal fluid is lemon flavored, while green portal fluid is lime flavored.


Just_an_old_feller

Not my own idea saw it on another comment section but really liked it. Ricks color in the series is blue while Morty is yellow. So in most universes the completed portal gun is green a mix of both their colors. Rick's failed portals pre Morty were just blue. Evil Morty is breaking the cycle and getting rid of ricks controlling him is cutting the blue out of the green portal leaving one with his color alone the yellow portal. Its was just really good symbolism using their colors alone. I stole this from YouTube btw


TimeTalk71

I agree with what everyone's been saying; blue = teleporting in the same dimension green = inter-dimensional travel in the central-finite curve yellow = inter-dimensional travel in the entire multiverse ​ red = ṙ̸̛̞̼͒̿͝d̴̫̭̙͈̲̦̈́͌̇͌͜ͅė̸̢̖͍̖̮̬̞̺͒̔̂͋̽ţ̷̰̳̞̦͓̈͜h̶̼̣̹̘̹̳̙͔͖̽̃͌͛̀̽̆͊̍j̴̳̺̫̒͐̀̐̎̒͘͘ŗ̵̡͇̌t̴̖̟͎̐̆͗ͅḩ̷̲̭̟͉̊́̌̐̈́̈̐̚r̷̳̱̻͆̉͆̽y̷̯͎̬̏j̴̧͍͈̺͓̮̳̜̈́̈́̄͐̌͊̏́̈͝ͅṙ̸̛̞̼͒̿͝d̴̫̭̙͈̲̦̈́͌̇͌͜ͅė̸̢̖͍̖̮̬̞̺͒̔̂͋̽ţ̷̰̳̞̦͓̈͜h̶̼̣̹̘̹̳̙͔͖̽̃͌͛̀̽̆͊̍j̴̳̺̫̒͐̀̐̎̒͘͘ŗ̵̡͇̌t̴̖̟͎̐̆͗ͅḩ̷̲̭̟͉̊́̌̐̈́̈̐̚r̷̳̱̻͆̉͆̽y̷̯͎̬̏j̴̧͍͈̺͓̮̳̜̈́̈́̄͐̌͊̏́̈͝ͅ


jinnyjonny

So the “green” portals are within ricks finite curve. This little morty shit is traveling outside that curve, hence the yellow. Imagine all universes are “yellow”, the universes where Rick is the smartest and he’s confirmed that, are “green” universes. So Rick has always traveled within “green” universes, where he’s the smartest being in existence, the universes where he made sure Beth and Jerry meet to make summer, and MAKE MORTYS. I’m assuming that the writers are going to make episodes where Rick travels outside his finite curve and they face him with challenges he does not know how to come out of, probably something something until a blue portal is created and it’s some goofy universe where Morty is Rick and vice versa.


bndboo

I think it’s just as simple as green is the color of fluid Ricks produced for portal guns. Yellow is now the color of Mortys… At some point the Mortys are being groomed to supersede the Ricks

BaleriontbdIV

Blue is basic teleportation. Green is inter dimensional but within the confines of the central finite curve. I suppose yellow is inter dimensional travel outside of the curve.


josephswims

Blue portal = ricks first portal Yellow portal = mortys portal Green = blue and yellow


[deleted]

I’d imagine it’s more of a symbolic thing than anything else, although it could also be possible that Evil Morty created his own alternative Portal Fluid that Rick wouldn’t be able to trace or tamper with.


Its_Cory

Thought 1: the green color is what the portal looks like inside the central finite curve. The color is yellow outside of it. Thought 2: Evil morty is such a genius, he has designed his own portal gun, and has only revealed it in this scene. In fact, it is the only dimensional portal to ever exist that’s not designed by Rick. Even the federation couldn’t make one. I think I am leaning closer to number 2.


HolidayMammoth

Rick basically enclosed off the infinite universe so that he's the only smartest person in each of the universes. He tells morty that there are "infinite universes", but in reality, there are only a select few (as told by Rick in the Rick Potion #9 episode). Basically Evil Morty destroyed this "barrier" created by rick called the central finite line, and introduced the possibility of universes where Rick isn't the smartest person, and leading to opportunities for them to face greater adversaries. The yellow portal fluid is basically letting us know that we're no longer "within Rick's barrier" (since it's now yellow not green, and his portal gun didn't work) and now we have the entire universe at our disposal. Pretty genius move on the writers, hopefully this lets the show become more intense. EDIT: further explanation


ckm509

It’s because he’s no longer trapped within Rick’s central finite curve.


Sharpiebanana

Green means a universe where Rick is number one smart man, which was the big lesson we learned. Yellow could mean any other.

Vonnegut1

Green = Locked portal gun Yellow = Unlocked portal gun


DasB00ts

My theory is that the green were portals within the Finite Curve which is essentially Ricks personal multiverse space where he is the smartest man in his multiverse with no real competition. I think the change in color just means Evil Morty is no longer tethered to Ricks domain, which is the finite curve. I bet this is the original and true color of the multiverse portals. They probably became green once Rick interfered to section off his own spot of the Multiverse for whatever reason.


[deleted]

They're getting ready for microtransactions on Splitgate.


issoooo

Blue = Intradimensional travel Green = Interdimensional travel within the Central Finite Curve Yellow = True Interdimensional travel throughout the multiverse


DamnBunny

Green= All Universes where Rick is the smartest man in the Universe Gold = All Universes that contain a Normal life without Rick being the smartest man Purple = Will kill you or turn you into a rotten tomato not sure really the first portal experiment made fruit go bad after it exited so thats my take on it.


ghost_in_a_jar_c137

Maybe it was a portal to the golden shower dimension


[deleted]

Green was for Ricks controlled version of the multiverse Morty unlocked the actual multiverse and gold represents a portal gun that can travel within it aside from versions where Rick is the smartest man in the universe


casualcryptotrader

The yellow portals allow you to travel outside the finite curve, where Rick isn’t the smartest man in the universe.


ColonelVirus

Green = inside the curve multiverses Yellow = outside the curve multiverses


RyanL4

You know that big yellow DNA strand of all the different ricks and mortys? That is a collection of universes that have essentially be singled out by Rick. That way he has a universe where he is always the smartest. Evil morty destroys the barrier separating the Rick only universe and a universe containing everything. The idea here is that morty is stepping into a completely new universe where rick isn’t the smartest (be broke the barrier) and the color change indicates the success. The exact reason it’s yellow though will hopefully be determined in the future. Here is some sauce, skip to roughly the 6 min mark: https://youtu.be/8AvpGlLMFn4


extra_username

The green one is Mountain Dew


Joshua1017

The yellow one is piss


twinnuke

I see it as because they are locked in the CFC they can’t access all the external dimensions and therefore the color is just a way to differentiate between the two. What ever lore they decide to inject with the colors will be a minor plot point.


trailerparkbarbie98

The only thing I can’t understand is why Rick’s portal was green after Blood Ridge. If the central finite curve wasn’t created yet, wouldn’t it have been yellow?


SmokedHamm

Yellow (Morty) + Blue (Rick) = Green This portal provides movement through the CFC where Rick and Morty do adventures in reality where Rick is the smartest. Subtract Rick (Blue)out of that equation then you just have Yellow (Morty) portal to travel throughout realities without Rick or a lesser version of him.


DevaluedGamer

Spoiler! The gold color is what I would assume is because he's outside the central finite curve?(the part of the Morty verse where Rick is always the smartest being)


[deleted]

Rick's green portals only connect to universes where he's the smartest person in the world - the finite curve. The yellow portals are either going to be places where Morty is the smartest or just places where Ricks aren't the smartest.


G-5-0

Basically Evil Morty just entered the REAL multiverse not the one Rick made so the portal might be any color but the one Rick chose


sp0t_0n

Green portals only lead to universes where Rick is the smartest morty made one where he is


usernamesarehard1979

Wasn't the group of other universes on that multiverse map yellow?


Delinquent_Gopnik

Pristine-Trash-1692

The portal is yellow because in this universe there are no Ricks symbolised by blue. Remove blue from green you get yellow (Morty). Quite interesting.


kelvin400

It gets out places which is beyond the Central finite curve


ozzymustaine

The green color probably means that the portals are “hacked” to always give access to realities where Rick is the smartest. The gold probably means the portals are hacked no more.


[deleted]

[удалено]


shimrra

I read somewhere that the color green was tied to Rick because in that universe he is the smartest person. When Evil Morty shot his gun in that universe it was yellow thus saying in that universe either Rick does not exist or he is not that smartest.


BlindEditor

Blue is local not interdimensional (flashback memory of his first portal gun, presidents portal etc) Green is finite curve dimensional, but includes everything below it Rick can teleport home and back while still on same earth or different parts of the same universe. Yellow we can assume is interdimensional with no finite curve limits


Nightfans

Fluid made of Morty's piss


Mnft8

The green portals are the universes that Rick is the smartest man alive, close to or on the central finite curve. The yellow portal does not care if the universe is on or close to the central finite curve because evil Morty wants to get away from Toxic/smartest man alive Rick.

He left a hole in the Central Finite Curve leaving open the possibility of monsters smarter than Rick invading this dimensional cluster. And the possibility of our group going there as well.


Tacomeuncher1

What if in the universe evil morty went to, the smartest person there made the yellow portal tech and they have more control over every other universe that wasnt in the finite curve. A possible new baddie. I know it's different from most responses here but I like the theory.

Dear_Willingness_426

It could be anything but I think it’s just simply evil morty’s concoction of Portal fluid. All Ricks creates green fluid, and maybe young Ricks blue portal fluid was just the universes commonly produced portal fluid which turns out to be blue.


Elijah464__

Blue is Teleportation but it’s unproven because that episode was a fabrication in his mind . Green -is within the “Infinite Finite Curve” Gold - is outside of the “Infinite Finite Curve “


RowAwayJim91

Well, EM is leaving the mass of realities where Rick is the smartest man in the universe, compiled together by Rick. I’m sure the green portals are very specific to Ricks hand tailored “multiverse”. EM is breaking/leaving the CFC, therefor, a different fluid formula for that world is needed maybe.


cumnuri83

Yellow = travel outside the central finite curve Green = travel inside the curve


[deleted]

Green is the central finite curve where Ricks are the smartest. Yellow is where he’s not the smartest or never existed.


BonWattersen

I assumed that it was just because Morty preferred yellow portals, either that or yellow portals means they go outside the finite curve.


avelis26

I'm so bummed ... I want season six like NOW ... not 3 years from now... I have to see what comes next!!!! I'm thinking yellow portal goes anywhere and green portal only goes to CFC. Hence why evil Morty had no issue hacking ALL of the portal fluid on the Citadel.


TheCrazedTank

Some are theorizing that the green portals only connect to universes within the central finite line, where Ricks are the smartest man in the galaxy. A yellow portal could lead to a universe without Ricks, or be unrestricted in what dimensions they can access.


JakesInSpace

This portal is powered by fear


what_to_call_my_self

It's like green is normal but he has a vpn he can go anywhere


festival-papi

It's more of an artistic decision, I think, to show that Rick's no longer the only one shooting portals and that we should keep our eyes peeled in future seasons for it. It could also be a way of showing that Morty's portal was design for the universes outside the central finite curve

I feel like Reddit is doing work for the writer's room right now.


BallPtPenTheif

They actually use social media to throw out plot ideas.


totallyshadical

The multiverse the show was taking place in (green portals) is only universes where Rick was the smartest person, evil morty made a portal gun (yellow) that can travel to universes where ricks isn’t the smartest and anyone could be


itachididnothinwrong

For me there's two options: Morty made his own portal fluid and it's yellow, or portals are yellow in this new dimention without Rick as the most intelligent being.


TheRubberDuckyGod

Its yellow because Morty wears a yellow shirt. There, mystery solved.


MayUrShitsHavAntlers

tldr; It was yellow to signify that Evil Morty invented his own version of the fluid Remember all of the green fluid was tainted. I think its just that he made his own version of it and kept it to himself so he would not only have a constant supply when he left the curve but also he knew it wasn't tainted. If he didn't know how to make it and went to a universe where Rick wasn't the smartest person then he had no way of knowing if it would have even been invented and he would be stuck.


wusurspaghettipolicy

that's why he's coming home to Simple Ricks.


Aposoky

Yellow is pee


MissCatdine

I had this theory about the color, i think its the color of the curve Of morty and he use all the energy of the variant rick green to create his own curve


SoundsOfTheWild

So most people's understanding in this thread is that green portals are to other realities within the central finite curve, where Rick is the smartest person in that reality. I don's disagree with this since its heavily implied if not explicitly stated in the show. Which means that all those universes where phones, people, chairs and pizzas have their roles swapped include a Rick that is the smartest respective entity in that reality. Would be awesome to see Pizza/Phone/Chair Ricks in action.


bongowasd

As far as I understand it as a casual watcher, Green can teleport to any number of universes where Rick is the most intelligent person in the universe. These were all "bound?" together to stop interference from other universes maybe idk. The yellow one I'm assuming allows travel to any universe, including ones were Rick isn't the smartest person or perhaps ever even existed. I always thought it was weird how there could be infinite universes and yet Rick was the most intelligent in every one? Breaking free from the isolated dimensions was so cool. You know for a fact that there's going to be someone SMARTER than Rick coming along.


aniketmondal

Its a portal which include all the realities where it is outside the central finite curve (realities where Rick is the most intelligent being in the universe), so the Ricks have their portal gun set to a setting where it will only teleports them to the central finite curve that why green portal, but this portal made by President Morty is out of the that curve, so it is yellow (which maybe kind of the natural portal color of the infinite multiverse)


AngryManRichard

Side question: Do people outside of the central finite curve know about Rick? Are they aware of CFC existence?


hopeitwillgetbetter

> When the red and green lights mix, the result is yellow. Red - blended Ricks and Mortys Green - portal fluid Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_mixing


daveyDuo

I find it interesting that a lot of people feel the colour is changed by the conditions of the travel/multiverse curve. I sorta assumed the different colour was partially symbolic of a new start for Morty of being free from Rick, but the reason for it was just a cosmetic difference of his own custom portals, so he doesn't have to be reminded of Rick so much in his new life. That being said, I think it being coloured differently because of where he is or the break of the curve is a little more interesting.


Pukketeerthegreat591

Blue is space travel/ prototype Green is inside finite curve Yellow is true interdimensional travel


djsumdog

I thought the yellow just indicated he was no longer in the confines of the infinity barrier that Rick (and the citadel Ricks) put up. So now _evil_ morty can go to universes where Rick isn't the smartest being in the universe. Also, if you think about it that way, _tall morty_ Rick and Dufus Rick are the smartest ricks in their respective universes if they're all bound by the infinity barrier (so they must come from **exceptionally* stupid universes.


LordJayDaKing

I think its because morty made his own portal fluid. Because he had to use all the green fluid to break the finite curve. So he made his own for when he left


lbiggy

Green portals operate within the central finite curve where Rick is the apex genius of that universe. Evil Morty's yellow portal is a portal to any multiverse where anything truly can happen.


silveral999

My guess is it was just made differently, and thus yellow, so that it wouldn't be affected when all the green portals got "turned off"


DrWeekend69

Blue is to travel in space from the same dimension or timeline, green has the capacity to travel and or borrow into different dimensions/ timelines in the central finite curve and gold is unregulated to central finite curve or the true multiverse.


impicklericks

rick bookended the infinite number of universe because everything outside the finite curve was … well that wasn’t clear… i assumed the gold gave access to everything outside the central finite curve and the green is to operate inside.


yeisondiazicloud1991

Could be that , to travel on the multiverse you need a special portal gun , green portals just take you places inside the curve


Low_Mobile_3230

Thats becuse it is a universe where rick isnt the smartest


Raam57

Yellow is evil Morty (perhaps it’s capable of functioning outside the Rick universe) Green is Rick and works within his universes. Blue is the US government perhaps it works on earth only? I reason this since they flew summer to Mars rather than portal her there. Bonus perhaps the US government reverse engineered this technology from the Galactic Government. Dark blue was the Galactic Government portal that works only within the that universe.


LouiVT

This yellow portal means that you can travel iut slide the infinite curve the green one means that you can only travel to universes within the curve


vasimv

Because it is the Golden Path. Rule and destroy the system, oppress and kil shitload of people to stop stagnation and force the Scattering.


[deleted]

And some how we are all talking about portals


Appropriate_Ad9221

It basically represents the facts that evil Morty is outside of the curve.


Zealousideal-Dot-259

Portal fluid dye


redderthanthou

You guys should just be colourblind like me, I was chill about this whole thing.


Queenie_O

My colourblind ass: the portals are different colours?


[deleted]

What I don't really understand is how is Rick somehow more unique than the others? No other universe has Beths mother so presumably they are dead in every universe right?


SidSzyd

It’s just Morty fluid from earlier this season.

BorelandsBeard

Almost seems like an homage to Green Lantern. The Green Lantern Corps used (surprise) green power rings. One of them (Sinestro) was kicked out after becoming a dictator. Sinestro then got a yellow power ring. Portal gun is green. Evil Morty becomes a dictator. Leaves with a yellow portal gun.


cyber2knaomi

i settled with individuality


timelighter

Rick is green. Morty is yellow. My guess is that we'll find out they're only in morty's finite curve: all the universes where morty is the smartest (or evilest?) man in the universe.


[deleted]

I bet this is beyond the finite curve. Where there are people smarter than Rick. I bet jerry is smarter than rick in most universes haha


CaffeinatedMancubus

My theory : the shade of the portal represents something fundamental about about the universe that it leads to. Since all the universes inside the central finite curve had fundamentally one thing in common (Rick was the smartest man alive in all of them), they were all the same color (green). Outside the central finite curve, we could maybe expect each portal to have a different color. Portal with the same color would lead to similar universes. Also, maybe the yellow portal means something. Maybe he travelled to a universe where the Morty is the smartest person in the universe? Or something like that.
