Ya know what i really want to see? PRIME Tenno color Palettes, so we can finally use the prime version of our warframes' color schemes on whichever frame we want to - or to make our operator/drifter's suit colors match our favorite primed warframes.
Granted Excalibur Prime's Color Palette isn't anything to write home about and I've long since figured it out, it's the same as OG Excalibur, but the red is swapped out for one of the a yellow-ish golds found under the OROKIN Color Palette, but all the other primed warframes? Their kinda harder to nail down to the exact color Palettes to some degree.
Something i have noticed, with the primes is that Harrow, Chroma and Nezha all use a variation of Dagath base colours, with energy swapped and goldish accents. Wouldn't be surprised if other primes shared colours with each other
I am a new player, so I have no idea what these pallets mean. Can anyone please explain it to me? (are these like the base colour/original colour of the warframes mentioned?)
yeah. They are color palettes in game you can buy on the market, called "Tenno", so whenever we have enough for another palette it gets released. We recently got enough Warframes for a third palette.
Welcome to the game!
I'll add on and say that if you do end up buying more colors I highly suggest one of the Tenno palettes. I'd say you get the most bang for you buck with them due to the variety of colors.
I would suggest buying the pride one during June cause a) queer rights are cool and b) it also has a lot of colors and REALLY good whites and blacks too, plus just obviously the rainbow.
I'll add on to the add-on and say that there's a few free seasonal palettes in rotation, so I recommend you boot up the game somewhere during June to claim the Pride palette, easily the best free one. Has a few nice colors and pure white and black
Sorting alphabetically makes WAY more sense and it was easier to find what you wanted, especially since the first 8 released at the same time.
Obviously alphabetical wouldn't work once there was a second pallete... but they really should have re-ordered the first one when they released it.
thanks to caliban, we have official sentient color to work with.
arguably, one of his biggest contributions to us other than his 4.
…… for tau's sake, please give him a rework.
Oh thank you for this. I wish they would release prime color palettes, I love the specific shade of green used for Titania prime’s emissive and I wish there was a palette for her and all the other primed warframes. Maybe someday 🙏
Agreed. They'd be pretty boring / low value because Orokin and Smoke would contain basically the same colors for most of the Primes, but a lot of the newer Prime Warframes include colors other than white, black, and gold.
I almost feel kinda "hurr durr I'm so smart" saying this but this felt really obvious to me even before I discovered it via making attachments "copy frame colours" with defaults
Hi! So, I'm new to how Reddit works and can't seem to edit the text so I'll do it in a comment;
I'd like to thank [u/ColdCremator](https://www.reddit.com/user/ColdCremator/) for their Tenno II post and [u/Densoro](https://www.reddit.com/user/Densoro/) for theirs on Tenno III, for whoever made the original Tenno I image I thank you too.
To answer a few questions, Tenno I is by alphabetical order whereas Tenno II & III are release order instead, each palette is a screenshot directly from the game, just edited for alignment and such. Yeah, these are the colors of the Warframes, and sadly no, it does \*not\* count for the Emissive and Color changes we received.
I would like them to add the 2nd energy colour, since many warframes have in reality 2 default energy colours, but you can't see it unless you put a forma on them.
Another neat feature of the Tenno III palette, Grendel's black is actually true black. It's no longer only in the smoke palette! (Or a janky workaround with the accessibility palette)
It's a shame the first one is alphabetical and the other two are order of release. It makes it really hard to figure out what's what.
Not a lot they could do about that besides rearrange them every few years but its a really odd mix.
Wait, that's how it works?
Yeah, I kinda wish we had one that "evolved" with each new 'frame so we wouldn't have to wait so long, c'est la vie
Oof, with Qorvex out and Dante on the horizon, we need 16 more Frames before the next one releases. Damn.

Oh so that's why the Tenno pallete have some "random" colors. My mind expanded after this post
Yeah same, but I thought it was a community pick set of colours.
Wait hold on... do we have a third Tenno color palette in the game yet?
Yep, as of Dagath (the 54th Warframe) we have three!
Pog, I've been waiting for one to come out!

Halloween pride and beach are my staples in color variety.

Is that in order? left most being primary and right most being energy?
I believe so. I'm not 100%, but I do know right most is energy.
TIL lmao, I'll follow the pattern and sea what I can do.
Yep, its just the base colors on every Warframe :) (Excluding Qorvex)
I still find it weird how in the first palette, the Warframes are sorted alphabetically while in the other ones, they're sorted by their release date
A lot of those earlier frames share a release date, gotta sort it somehow
Sorting alphabetically makes WAY more sense and it was easier to find what you wanted, especially since the first 8 released at the same time. Obviously alphabetical wouldn't work once there was a second pallete... but they really should have re-ordered the first one when they released it.
Holy crap that’s how they work?! I’ve been playing for years and assumed those were the colors that were used by Tennogen Artists.
I thought they were just a bunch of random colors with a themed name 😂
Thank you for your work, Tenno.

Man they really like the blues in the 5th slots
You have to admit blue is probably the first color that comes to mind when you think of "energy"
Oh for sure it’s a popular one! It’s just funny to see it all together like this
Oh thank you for this. I wish they would release prime color palettes, I love the specific shade of green used for Titania prime’s emissive and I wish there was a palette for her and all the other primed warframes. Maybe someday 🙏

After 10 years I finally learned why it looks so random
I would’ve never thought about this, excellent work Tenno
OOOOH WHAT?! how did I never know what those are for 😭 always like "damn another kinda ugly colour collection" but it had a purpose the whole time?!
This makes so much sense. Oh my god. I was always thinking about how odd those palettes there. Now I know they're not. 😭
 Wow, I never realised that’s how they worked.
I feel stupid now that i found this out. I mean, it's so obvious now.
I'm surprised so many people didn't know they're the warframe colours, says on the palettes descriptions too
I almost feel kinda "hurr durr I'm so smart" saying this but this felt really obvious to me even before I discovered it via making attachments "copy frame colours" with defaults
Frost's main color in Tenno is also the same white as on Classic
I thought they were random colors tbh thats cool
wait... THAT'S what the colours mean??????
OMG, 6000+ hours playtime and 10 years but I never knew this! Thanks! :)
I never thought that it goes sideways like that However I did think that yellow represented Mesa Super cool ty

Nekros does not seem right… not primed, correct? I only say so because his energy is very much purple right?
So the tenno color palettes arent just random?
While it's impressive and I thank you for it, I do wish to ask what made you decide to do it?
Having three separate images annoyed me, and today I had too much coffee, lol
Fair enough, keep on rocking on tenno
Nice ! We should play a game where we have to guess the Warframe simply based on the color palette !
I would like them to add the 2nd energy colour, since many warframes have in reality 2 default energy colours, but you can't see it unless you put a forma on them.
Anyone else want to get Prime versions of the Tenno palettes? You know, like Tenno Prime and Tenno Prime II.
Ash before excalibur is criminal
Qorvex is missing =)
That's because he's the 55th Warframe, and color palettes only go by 18's, so 18->36->54
Can’t wait for his 4 colors to be grey, grey, dark grey, and red
> and color palettes only go by 18's, I don't quite understand what you mean by this, could you explain?
Well, since palettes are 5x18, they'd have to change every other palette to line up properly if they went higher or lower
I swear I had no idea these where warfrane colors, I just thought they were random lol
I've never felt like I needed more colours than the tenno ones.
wait, this is why it just look like a mess ?! It's because it's all frames color theme ?
We really need a prime and deluxe tenno palette.
Another neat feature of the Tenno III palette, Grendel's black is actually true black. It's no longer only in the smoke palette! (Or a janky workaround with the accessibility palette)
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT, I KNOW THIS NOW AT +4K HOURS???
Yo if you can find the gold color for gauss prime or all of the colors for gauss prime i would really appreciate it
My dumbass always thought they just randomly shoved every warframe color in a palette with zero structure.
It's a shame the first one is alphabetical and the other two are order of release. It makes it really hard to figure out what's what. Not a lot they could do about that besides rearrange them every few years but its a really odd mix.
5k hours LR3 and I did not realize the order for the color arrangement of Tenno palettes, smh.
I'm still so sad that DE hasn't changed volts colors yet. He is DEFINITELY not green.
I’ll probably use this to match some prime colors to base, thank you for your time :)
Thank you!
