Their color simply depends on the time of day.
Day
Example
Night
Example
Another thing, if you recall the moment in the Return if the Forerunners trailer where a night jumps onto Master Chief exactly like the one in the E3 trailer, what color was that Knight? Blue. What time of day? Night. How about the E3 one? What color? Orange. Time of day? Daytime.
Maybe the Didact’s Cryptum changes colors as well?
Yeah,its been disscussed here a lot.

I’ve never noticed, and I’m here routinely.
This has been discussed recently but yea, has to do with night and day. I like the blue ones though.
Needs more then just one occasion just to be sure.
I’m still not a believer of this, why would their base colours change but not their weapons depending on the day/night cycle?

So many questions, so little time.
Um a little late there. There is a couple of threads on this already. But good post.

I’ve realized that, yes. I’ve never noticed this being discussed.

Memory limitations? I’m sure 343I wouldn’t waste precious game memory to just make the same weapons but with blue lights.
Its like the weapon skins.
Of course it could be something else entirely.

The same could be said on changing their base colour based on the time of day, if they were gonna do it, you’d at least think they’d make both the weapons blue as well, if not, cut the idea as a whole.

A blue Light Rifle would be killer.

Yea true, but it’s whatever to me. Honestly stuff like that won’t bother me.

If only they have enough room for more weapon skins, and a blue Light Rifle/Scattershot was one of them.
Oh my god.
