Armor customization in Halo: Combat Evolved allows a player to change the color of their armor, and in MCC only, customize the color of their helmet's visor too. Unlike later armour customization systems, the player cannot change their physical armor model in Halo: CE, or assign a secondary or tertiary armor color.

Colors[edit]

Armor color customization has existed in CE since its initial release on the Xbox in 2001, and has remained unchanged since. It allows players to pick the color of their entire armor set, with the exception of the undersuit and certain sections of the bracers and greaves, which will remain black regardless of color choice. Unlike later games, no secondary or tertiary armor colors are available; the entire armor will be coated in a single color. The set of colors available has not changed between any of the ports, remasters and rereleases of the game.

A total of 18 colors are available for use in CE:
