The Kaminoans REALLY liked some color I guess

[bobross]

If im not wrong the clone armor to the kaminoans was extraordinary beautiful and ornate yet it allowed everyone else to not to see it which would obviously be ridiculously terrible camouflage

[davyr]

The colour white is also the best to dissipate heat. Ideal when fighting against blasters 😊

"The imperial guard wear camouflage in the hope that what the enemy can not see they can not kill, but the emperor's space marines wear bold colors in the knowledge that what the enemy can see they will soon learn to fear"

Clone trooper:so uh what color did you paint my armor
Weird tall things: *UV radiation*

I think it’s because it would allow for marking’s that could signify rank be visible even from farther distances. Allowing for more coordination between clones.

I heard that the reason why the Empire made stormtrooper armor all white was to go back to the purity of the original Phase 1 armor

[swnerd-]

Kaminoans saw in the ultraviolet spectrum so “white” to them probably appeared as vibrant colors. At least that’s what Legends canon stated.

Now my question is why some clone troopers have coloures armors? Like the 501st has blue details, the 212th has yellow details, etc. Did the kaminoans add that so non kaminoans could recognize it or was it introduced by the republic in order for them to recognize?

Plastoid comes white from the factory, and the first batches of clones needed to be pushed out quickly

[kittybuns]

In some cultures white is a color of purity and light

[Adamsminichete]

It would be cool if we saw another creature react to the clones being an ultraviolet color.

“Does it come in White?” - Kaminoan Researcher 👩🏽‍🔬

[K-A]

Wait, wasn't it because the Kaminoan were too confident in their creations so they made the armor white thinking people will see it and they will fear the clones

Otherwise, how do you explain the glowing visors of Clone Commandos?

[LNR]

White armor with cross shaped visors is pretty bold religious symbolism.

[leewheaton]

Add ultraviolet light coloring to the clone armor and you'll see what the Kaminoans seen them as

[Mr.Feather]

Kaminoans do love everything white especially the clone troopers

[nataleighjones]

I also like to think that when the clone troopers painted their armour with blue pigment it was somewhat of an act of rebellion to their Kaminoan birthplace as Kaminoans detested the color blue and considered the color a disgrace

[JohnPeacekeeper]

I always thought it was to save credits on painting them all

[Elliottblancher]

White also deflects ultraviolet rays from the sun
